The day started with one simple responsibility. I needed to take Alina to get her blood work done. That was the plan. Get in the car. Handle the appointment. Then come back home. For years, that alone would have required checking rideshare prices first.

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.
