As I step into 2025, I’ve chosen connection as my word of the year—not just in my relationships with others, but in strengthening my relationship with myself. This year, I want to truly know myself and become my own safe space. If you’ve ever felt the same, I invite you to join me on this journey.

The world keeps moving, and so do we. Through the ups and downs, the act of persisting, healing, and finding joy in the present moment is a triumph. Time may never stop for us, but by appreciating where we are and who we’ve become, we can reclaim peace and happiness. Life is a gift meant to be cherished, there’s always something worth celebrating.
