Hi, I am back!
For my close group of family and friends that read my blog and continue to ask me when I will start posting again, get ready for some new content in 2026. Since I didn’t make a single post in 2025, I thought I would close out the year with a positive update that I am starting to feel inspired to write again.
While I definitely can’t say that 2025 was my favorite year of all time, I will say that I was able to thoroughly reflect on this past year. I figure if I can enter 2026 with a few lessons learned, increased wisdom, and overall growth as a person, along with some travel and fun memories sprinkled in, then I am doing just fine! Below are 8 lessons I learned in 2025:
- Acceptance is Peace.
- Always be someone you LOVE, first.
- Someone else’s opinion is NOT your mirror.
- Consistency beats intensity every single time.
- Some people teach you love; other’s teach you limits.
- You are most powerful when you trust your own story.
- Some seasons are for blooming, others are for rooting.
- Let the wrong people fall away, so the right people can find you.
While I am not a big believer in New Years Resolutions, I’ll leave you all with 8 positive affirmations I am using to call in this upcoming year:
Dear 2026,
- No more toxic people, please.
- Allow what’s meant for me to find me.
- Let love flow to me as the river does.
- Let happiness meet me where I am.
- Show me how beautiful life can be.
- Bring me continued peace.
- Root me where I am meant to grow.
- Prepare my hands for what I’ve prayed for.
Happy New Year! Wishing my friends & family a happy, healthy, and fulfilling 2026!
