Nikki DeLoach Instagram – These are all the bracelets I’ve collected from you in 2025 throughout our magical experiences together. Line dancing in Nashville, as we kicked off Christmas. Sailing across the sea in ugly Christmas sweaters, as we silent discoed the night away. Lighting Christmas trees and battling it out in Festive Feud in Kansas City (our team won btw). Giving and receiving oh so many hugs in New Jersey.
While some of you may see a bowl of holiday beaded bracelets that rival a tween’s arm leaving a Taylor Swift concert, I see stories of caregivers, loss, grief, pain. I see stories of redemption, liberation, four years free of cancer, mothers of heart warriors and praise reports. I see each and every human soul I had the privilege of meeting and connecting with. I see people reaching for joy, purpose, meaning and love, often while navigating life’s hardest of hard.
Thank you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for showing up for us and yourselves. Thank you for watching our movies. Thank you for your unwavering support. Thank you for choosing JOY in the midst of your valley. This is the kind of love that changes the world and it is needed now more than ever.
The bracelets will rest for now in these handmade bowls, made from the pecans trees in my mom’s yard on the farm in South Georgia. They were given to me by @knash115, who often sees the divine in what others may deem disposable. The storm came and wiped out several of our over 125 year old pecan trees. Knowing what these trees mean to our family, she had an idea. These bowls were crafted from the wood. They are prayer bowls and I am in love with them.
Just like you have prayed over me and my family, I will be praying over you and yours. Because that’s what we do in true community… we carry each other through the heartache and through the celebration! I’m so honored to be a part of this community.
Xoxo,
