We had the good fortune of connecting with TABITHA HOLMES and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi TABITHA, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“There is freedom waiting for you on the breezes of the sky, and you ask -“What if I Fall?”
Oh but my darling, what if you Fly?” – Erin Hanson

This quote resonates deeply with me, serving as a poignant reminder that the fear of failure can yield to the unwavering faith I hold in my ability to soar. It speaks to the courage needed to pursue one’s heart’s desires, despite the daunting prospect of falling. Life has taught me the resilience to rise from setbacks, even when the temptation to surrender is there.
I find solace in the realization that giving my all is worth the risk. For me, the ‘coulda woulda shoulda’ is a greater adversary than the prospect of falling. There may be challenges, but I choose to navigate it with the audacity to fly, leaving no room for the regrets that might have been. I refuse.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My dad. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my father, a pillar of unwavering support and belief in my journey. In moments when self-doubt was my companion, he held steadfast faith in me, becoming my foundation through life’s tumultuous ebbs and flows. His presence during both victories and defeats has been my anchor, a source of strength that transcends the highs and lows.

Most profoundly, my father ingrained in me the empowering principle that I possess the capability to become anything I aspire to be. With boundless confidence, he nurtured in me the assurance of my own potential. In times when the weight of challenges threatens to overpower, I draw inspiration from his unshakeable belief in my abilities. His unwavering support is not just a support but a driving force that propels me forward.

.I acknowledge, with immense gratitude, that without him, I would be nowhere.
