Vudora Marie: My New Story

This feels both terrifying and exciting to share… but here goes:

A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with Neurosarcoidosis, a rare neurological disorder. Since then, my life has changed in every possible way—physically, emotionally, professionally. There are days when pain takes over and I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t make dinner for my family, pick up my son, or walk down the stairs. I had to step away from a career I loved because my body simply couldn’t keep up anymore.

But the need to create, to feel purposeful, to build something meaningful… that didn’t go away.

So I started small. On the couch. In bed. On the days I could think clearly, I dreamed. On the days I couldn’t move much, I sketched out quiet ideas. And over the past several months, piece by piece, I built something just for me—something I could do, even when life gets hard.

It’s called Vudora Marie, and it’s a little corner of the internet where cozy things, books, art, and intentional living all come together. It’s part shop, part story, part love letter to everyone who’s ever had to reinvent their life.

And today, I finally feel ready to share it with you.

Every part of this—every photo, product, post, and candle carefully chosen—was created on good days and bad ones, with a lot of heart and a little help from caffeine, tears, and sheer stubbornness.

If you’re into books, beautiful objects, slow living, cozy vibes, or just supporting someone trying to start again—I’d love for you to check it out, give it a follow, or even share it with a friend.

It’s more than a brand to me. It’s my lifeline. And I’m so, so grateful to be here.
