Dina Deleasa Instagram – Last Minute Holiday Hosting with @jennaandfriends
Then hopping over to the @onnewjersey network for more holiday fun with In the Mix!
It is rare that I get to watch my own segments on the Today Show because they are usually live and in the moment. To be honest, watching yourself is a bit like nails on a chalkboard type vibe, haha! However, I am very grateful. In between throwing in laundry, dinner in the crockpot, and checking strep throat fever status, I was able to sit back and watch the results of some many years of work. Years Of showing up and making sure I am working hard and being kind. Never taking advantage even if I am being taken advantage of. Trying to honor relationships, even if they are not honored in return.
To be honest, most days I am unsure, trying to not succumb to hustle or influencer culture. But to show up enough to encourage those who happen to cross my path. Let them know that perfect is not where it’s at, home is more than where the heart is, it’s your ministry. The foundation you are laying with your friends and family is worth so much more than any other “platform.”
Some days I am on the TV screen, but most days I am in the carpool line, the grocery store, and complaining that I seem to be the ONLY person who can take anything up the stairs (why?!). Most of the time I am not quite sure what I am doing besides walking through a door I am praying God has opened. I do not know the full picture, and I do not know what the coming months bring. Which really can drive me NUTS sometimes. I will say I am learning to pump the brakes on that, and leaning into the promise that He holds the future. And while it may not always be how I pictured it, or want it to happen, it is still His best for me.
Hang in there everyone and enjoy the holiday season! And seriously, try to slow down and drink some hot chocolate. You can comment “hosting” below and I will send you the links to the recipes on dishitgirl.com | Posted on 23/Dec/2025 01:05:32
