What I am carrying into 2026

2025 was the year I finally learned that you can’t grab onto new adventures if your hands are still full of the past. By choosing to release the ties that were weighing me down, I made room for the most unexpected, beautiful chapters of my life yet. It turns out that "goodbye" is often just a "hello" in disguise.

I’m entering this new year feeling lighter than I have in a decades. 2025 taught me that adventure doesn’t always require a plane ticket; sometimes, it just requires an exit. By clearing out the noise, I finally heard what my own intuition was trying to tell me.

It’s my time to LIVE.

Last year I stumbled on unplanned adventures and released my past.

If you’re sitting there wondering if it’s time to let go of something—or someone—that weighs you down, take this as your sign. There is a whole world of “unexpected” waiting for you on the other side of that “goodbye.”
