"The New Year is a painting not yet painted; a path not yet stepped on; a wing not yet taken off! Things haven't happened as yet! Before the clock strikes twelve, remember that you are blessed with the ability to reshape your life!" (Mehmet Murat ildan)
Hello, my lovely friends!
Can you believe we’re standing at the finish line of 2025? If I’m being completely honest, this year felt like a marathon run uphill... in heels... while carrying a tray of drinks.
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, hasn't it?
For those of you who have been checking in on me, you know that my mom’s health has been the big focus this year. It’s been a series of "up and down" months—those weeks where we’re celebrating a win, followed by those quiet, scary days where we're just holding our breath.
There were times when things around the house felt like they were bursting at the seams. The laundry piled up, the stress got loud, and there were moments when I wasn't sure if I had any "tough" left in me. But, as we always do, we got through it. We found the rhythm in the chaos, the humor in the hospital rooms, and the strength to keep the coffee brewing and the lights on.
We've known for well over a decade. We have been through so much together. We’ve shared the highs of new babies and job promotions, and we’ve held each other up through losses and heartbreaks.
Through every twist and turn this year, knowing I had this space to come back to—and all of you waiting here—kept me grounded. I wouldn't trade our history or this community for anything in the world. You truly are the best.
Let’s be real: 2025 was a bit of a disappearing act for me. Between navigating the stress of my mom’s health and just trying to keep my head above water, the blog had to take a backseat. I’ve missed this space and I’ve missed you all! Thank you for sticking by me while I hit 'pause.' The good news? My spark is back, 2026 is looking massive, and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride.
I’m officially closing the book on 2025. I’m tucking away the hard lessons and holding onto the moments of grace. I’m ready to see what the next 365 days have in store for us, and I’m so incredibly grateful that I get to do it all over again with you by my side.
Happy New Year, ladies! Let’s make the next one our favorite yet.
