2025 has been a year of dualities for me…a year of deep grief, tender loss, and profound reflection. Emotions have surface that I didn’t even know were waiting. I’ve felt the fragility of life, the rawness of love, and the weight of mortality in ways that leave you both stunned and awake.
And yet, there’s been gold this year too. Moments that spark joy so bright they feel like sunlight on the skin. Like Greece with my sons, a trip that was alive in every sense of the word. A “carpe diem” moment that reminded me how fleeting and precious these days are.
My word for 2025 is Golden, - it feels like a compass through these contrasts. Golden isn’t just about light or joy ✨it’s about embracing the full spectrum: grief and beauty, sorrow and wonder, endings and beginnings. It’s about learning that life, in all its unpredictability, is meant to be lived fully, fiercely, tenderly.
Here’s to holding both the shadows and the brilliance, and to finding the glimmers of gold that remind us we are alive, awake, and ever unfolding.
