As we part with the past year and welcome the new one I can’t help but realize how much faster each year goes compared to the one before… it worries me how time flies and it also reminds me to seize every moment and savor every experience before it too becomes something of the past. We’ve aged, we’ve cried, we’ve laughed and we’ve formed lasting memories all in a blink of an eye. With every year we are blessed with the opportunity to make new amends and learn from prior experiences. I read somewhere that the good news is nothing lasts forever and the bad news is nothing lasts forever and so do the years… we will never be this age before or have this moment again so let’s be more mindful of the present making the most of it and let’s be more optimistic of the future with whatever it holds.

As we welcome the new year I take this opportunity to thank those chosen friends who healed hearts they didn’t break. To the friends who listened to me as I repeated the same story over and over again. To the friend and family member who encouraged me and believed in me when I found it hard to believe in myself. To those who gave me inspiration and helped me find my passions in life.

To those whose 2024 wasn’t as glamorous enough or post worthy enough, whose 2024 was about healing and survival rather than celebrations and innovations, the fact that you made it another year is celebration enough. Celebrate yourself you are enough.

Happy New Year everybody and may you enjoy it fully emerging yourself in every new experience! 🎉 🎊 🎇
