Looking back, 2024 felt like an intricate tapestry woven with moments of pain, joy, and transformation. Some of the hardest moments came with the loss of loved ones. My dear uncle Zavier left a void that could never truly be filled. Yet, in his absence, I found strength in honoring his memory. Donating blood to continue Uncle Zavier’s legacy and to hold on to his presence in my life. His departure was a reminder of how fleeting life is and the importance of treasuring the people we love.
The loss of Sunny, our beloved family bird of eight years, was another heartbreaking moment. Sunny was more than just a pet; Sunny was family, a source of comfort and joy who brought light to our days. Losing Sunny was like losing a child, a pain that echoed in the quiet corners of our home.
In addition, my daughter’s close friend passed away unexpectedly, leaving Lani and all of us grappling with sorrow. It was a stark reminder of life’s unpredictability and how precious every moment truly is. Watching Lani navigate her grief while still finding strength to thrive in her passion for fashion design was both humbling and inspiring.
2024 also demanded difficult decisions, like moving away from my father. His toxic behavior had been a source of strain for too long, and while the decision to distance myself was painful, it was necessary for my well-being. Choosing to prioritize my peace over the bonds of obligation was a lesson in self-respect and the courage it takes to let go of relationships that no longer serve us.
Despite the challenges, 2024 was a year of immense growth. It taught me to adapt, to embrace change, and to find strength in resilience. My eight-year juicing journey became more than a wellness routine—it was a symbol of consistency and self-care that sustained me during turbulent times.
Moments with family brought solace amidst the chaos. Early morning walks with my mum at the stadium became a sanctuary for reflection and a reminder of the unwavering support she has always given me. Watching Logan’s determination in go-karting and Lani’s accomplishments as a fashion graduate filled my heart with pride. Even in the face of loss and trials, these moments reminded me of the love and resilience that binds us as a family.
As I step into 2025, my heart is brimming with hope and determination. I’ve already decided that this year is going to be ridiculously amazing. I wish for 2025 to bring good health, happiness, wealth, peace of mind, and prosperity—not just for myself, but for everyone reading this.
This year, I am ready to embrace a new chapter in my life. I don’t need to be rich or famous. I don’t seek perfection. All I want is to live a life free of stress and worry, to find happiness in the little things, and to nurture my well-being. 2025 can be a year of transformation—a time when we can all be in a different space mentally, spiritually, and financially. I firmly believe that with hard work, faith, and perseverance, we can achieve the life we envision for ourselves.
2025 is a blank canvas, waiting to be painted with vibrant colors of possibility. It is a year of embracing the unknown and thriving amidst the unexpected. For me, it will be a year of continuing to prioritize health—both physical and mental. Starting mornings early with healthy routines and focusing on weight loss goals are part of this journey. But beyond physical transformation, 2025 is about cultivating inner peace and joy.
Spiritually, I am committed to deepening my faith. Returning to church was a blessing that reignited a flame of peace and gratitude in my heart. I plan to continue reflecting on the Gospel and living its teachings. Faith has been a source of strength for me, and I hope to share its light with others, inspiring them to find comfort and purpose in their own journeys.
To everyone reading this, I want to remind you that 2025 can be a completely different year for you. It’s never too late to start over, to set new goals, and to believe in your ability to create a better life. Keep working, keep believing, and keep moving forward. Trust that everything you’ve been through is preparing you for something greater.
Let’s make 2025 a year to remember—a year of growth, joy, and prosperity. Here’s to living life without stress and worries, to finding happiness in the simple things, and to cherishing the moments that truly matter. May this year bring us all closer to our dreams and fill our lives with love, peace, and fulfillment.
Happy 2025! Let’s make it ridiculously amazing.
