Happy birthday my sweet girl!!! You make me so incredibly proud to be your mom and I thank God each day for what a beautiful gift you are to me. You are that cool girl I always wished I could be! You are only sixteen but you are a warrior. You are brave in all the ways that matter. You stand firm in what you believe and you don’t waver at the dramas around you. I am in awe of the beautiful young woman you are and becoming. Love you so much, my firstborn child!
Over the last few years, I started helping out AWCA with any design needs and this year, I officially joined the gala committee. I am so proud and honored to be a part of such an amazing organization and so blown away by the works they do in this community.
I helped my friend throw her husband his 50 th birthday party. What a beautiful night it was! I had to swallow my tears many times, being so touched and blessed to witness so much love and support shown to this amazing guy! God has truly blessed him and his family with wonderful children, parents, siblings and friends. Most of all, the love that this couple has for each other is a true testimony of God’s love and grace. So blessed to know you and call you my friends!
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer & graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
