Closing 2025: A Year That Changed Me
As this year comes to an end, I find myself sitting in a quiet moment of reflection, the kind that only comes after you’ve been stretched, tested, humbled, and still somehow grown stronger.
2025 wasn’t an easy year.
It was a year of surrender, healing, and becoming.
This was the year I learned what real strength looks like, not the loud, performative kind, but the quiet strength that shows up when no one is watching. The kind that holds on when things feel uncertain. The kind that keeps loving, even when it’s tired.
This year, I became an even deeper version of myself as a mother. I watched my babies grow, one teaching me patience, resilience, and emotional depth… the other reminding me daily of softness, surrender, and unconditional love. Motherhood continues to stretch me in the most beautiful and painful ways, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I also leaned into my marriage in a new way. Through changes, pressure, and seasons of growth, my husband has been my anchor, my steady place when life felt overwhelming. We’ve grown together, learned each other in new ways, and chosen each other again and again. That kind of love doesn’t come without work, but it’s the kind worth fighting for.
This year also asked me to let go, of versions of myself, of expectations, and of some people that no longer aligned with who I’m becoming. That part wasn’t easy. There’s grief in realizing that not everyone is meant to walk every season with you. But there is also peace in honoring what was, and allowing space for what’s next.
Professionally, I took risks. I trusted my instincts. I started over in many ways. I learned that growth isn’t always loud or immediate, sometimes it’s quiet, messy, and deeply internal. But it’s still growth. And it’s still progress.
Most of all, this year taught me to trust God more than my timeline. To believe that what’s meant for me will never miss me. To rest in the knowing that even when I don’t have all the answers, I am being carried exactly where I need to be.
So as I close this chapter, I do it with gratitude, for the lessons, the love, the losses, and the becoming.
Here’s to growth.
Here’s to healing.
Here’s to choosing peace.
And here’s to 2026, with faith in my heart, love in my home, and hope leading the way. 🤍
