In her own words:
"God is still writing. His grace, His love is sufficient. This year, He gave me much to celebrate. Beautiful work, beautiful moments, and a few numbers at the box office that I'm deeply grateful for. But above all, I'm grateful for the woman I'm becoming. I've learned that sometimes the greatest miracles don't arrive with thunder. Sometimes they look like quiet strength, soft prayers, and the grace to keep walking. I carry my faith with me, not as a symbol of having it all figured out, but as a reminder that I'm never walking alone… One foot in front of the other, the rosary in my hand, and God is still writing my story… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 👑"
