Let me tell you this; my Monday went fine. I got up, by God’s grace. I got myself together. I went to work determined to make it a productive day. I had no clue I was walking straight into a storm that someone else created. However,  I handled it with a level of strength I did not even know I still had.

I was excited ASF the evening I sat down at my dining room table to create my 2025 vision board. I was doing it all from my phone after watching a motivational YouTube video. I wanted to high-step into new opportunities. I was determined to experience financial growth. I was looking forward to embracing more of my motherhood journey. Gain more stability. I wanted to bask in soft life energy.

December often feels a little all over the place, yet this year I’ve decided to make sense of this holiday season. After everything 2025 put me through I wanted to bring light it all. The lessons. The heaviness. The exhaustion. The wins. The breakthroughs. The quiet nights I had to hold myself together. I wanted this year to end gently. Intentionally. Softly. I wanted to bask in gratitude for the woman I’ve grown into.

Have you been reflecting on this year yet? Well, I damn sure have. This year had weeks that pushed me, stretched me, and humbled me. I still somehow managed to understand and value the blessing within the lessons in ways I did not expect. When I sat down on Canva to create this 2025 mood board, I had R&B music playing from Spotify. 

My goodness this year is almost gone, I have been reflecting deeply on what I’m leaving behind in 2025. I am focused on what I will be carrying forward with me. This year taught me difficult lessons about my health, my strength, and my peace. The importance of protecting myself on every level is at the forefront. I am leaving behind the version of me who kept pushing through pain.
