Closing out 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, it feels less like a quiet ending and more like a clear pause after a year of deep change. This was a year shaped by transitions, challenges, and growing clarity about what truly deserves my time, energy, and care.

I encountered lessons I did not know I needed. There were cycles to close, paths to reconsider, and moments that required me to slow down and refocus on my own wellbeing. Much of this year involved reflection, perspective shifts, and learning to balance effort with trust, knowing when to push forward and when to let things unfold.

If I had to describe the year visually, it began like walking through a dense forest with no clear path in sight. Over time, signs appeared, choices narrowed, and some routes revealed themselves as dead ends. By the end of the year, I reached a clearing. I now have a better sense of the resources I can rely on, the partnerships that matter, and the direction I want to continue moving toward. While some opportunities shifted, I gained confidence, stronger problem-solving skills, and deeper relationships.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. To those who offered guidance and mentorship, to organizations that opened their doors to this work, and to everyone who showed up to move, reflect, and share feedback along the way. Your presence and trust made this year what it was.

As I step into 2026, I do so with lighter baggage, renewed energy, and excitement for what is ahead. There is more movement, more music, and meaningful growth to come.

2026, I am ready.
