There is something holy about the final hours of a year.
Not the loud kind of holy.
Not the sparkly, forced-joy version.
But the quiet kind the kind that asks us to sit with what really happened.
As 2025 draws to a close, I feel deep gratitude not because it was easy, but because it was true.
This was a year of integration.
A year of shedding skins I didn’t even realize I was still wearing.
A year of choosing myself again and again sometimes bravely, sometimes trembling, always honestly.
2025 asked for presence, not perfection.
And I answered the best I could.
What 2025 Taught Me
This year taught me that healing doesn’t arrive all at once it arrives in layers.
It showed me where I still held responsibility for other people’s emotions.
It showed me where my compassion had crossed into self-abandonment.
And it showed me over and over that my body, my intuition, and my spirit are wise beyond measure when I slow down enough to listen.
2025 was not about becoming someone new.
It was about remembering who I’ve always been.
The truth is:
Some dreams matured.
Some relationships shifted.
Some chapters closed with tenderness… others with necessary finality.
And all of it mattered.
Honoring What I’m Leaving Behind
Before we rush toward the future, we must honor what we are setting down.
I release:
The need to explain myself to those committed to misunderstanding me The pressure to prove my worth through productivity or sacrifice The timelines that were never aligned with my soul
I bless the lessons, even the painful ones.
Especially the painful ones.
Because they brought me back home to myself.
Welcoming 2026: A Year of Intentional Becoming
2026 arrives not as a demand but as an invitation.
An invitation to build, gently and deliberately.
An invitation to choose alignment over urgency.
An invitation to live from the inside out.
This is not a year of rushing.
This is a year of rooting.
I welcome 2026 with:
Clear boundaries and an open heart Creativity that feels nourishing, not draining Work that honors my nervous system as much as my calling Relationships rooted in mutual respect, presence, and truth
I am no longer chasing who I think I should be.
I am walking with who I already am.
A Sacred Pause
If you’re reading this in the quiet hours before the new year or even days later know this:
You do not need to have it all figured out.
You do not need a perfectly worded intention.
You do not need to be “fixed” to be worthy of what’s coming.
All that’s required is honesty.
Let yourself feel what this year brought you.
Let yourself honor how far you’ve come.
Let yourself welcome the next chapter with curiosity instead of fear.
An Intention for the Threshold
As the final moments of 2025 pass, I place my hand on my heart and say:
I release what no longer serves my becoming.
I trust the wisdom that has carried me this far.
I step into 2026 rooted, resourced, and open.
May the year ahead meet us with clarity.
May we meet ourselves with compassion.
And may we remember always that the magic was never outside of us.
✨ Happy New Year.
✨ Welcome home.
