new me. NOT! Hah! I don’t want to be a new versionnnnn (insert whining). I’ve worked really hard on this one. She’s one of my favorites. I hope she sticks around for a really long time. Let’s be real, she’s always evolving.

I’ve been 1000 different women, one of the few poems I’ve memorized and add to my spotify play lists. Nothing is more grounding than hearing this poem as I’m driving every which way getting through my to do list.

On New Years Eve 2023 I sat under a table with my friends, shoveling a dozen grapes into my mouth. We spoke affirmations, saged the house, blessed the entry, and asked the universe to show us how good it gets.

It. Gets. Good.

I can confidently say, that with a lot of inner and outer work throughout the year (and the grapes) so much goodness came, even if it was at the enth hour. I watched personal successes unfold for the lovely souls I call best friends and happy cried with them along the way. In turn, I shared every tiny win that came my way with them and felt their support. Right before 2024 wrapped up, I opened my arms wide and snuck my next favorite journey in. Grapes came in clutch. I’ll talk more about that later. I’m annoying, I know. It’ll be worth the wait to hear about.

I said this a couple posts back, but I wouldn’t trade places with anyone in this world. I am so lucky. The other night, I started working on my 2025 vision board. I think it’s such a good reminder of the goals big and small I intend to achieve.

Missed some marks in 2024 and THAT’S OKAY! We pivot. Readjust. Shift the baby steps a bit. I am really proud of Selena the sourdough starter though. She really had a fantastic year. Right out of the oven, with butter. Lot’s of other things went to shit, but I’m okay.

I’ll always be okay. It’s alchemy baby! I just can’t help it. I’ve never in my life been more excited about the future. I bet I’ve said that before, but it’s true. As I evolve and grow, my perspective changes. Possible outcomes become clearer. Joy is here. To stay.

I am so full of joy for this coming year. I’m excited about the growth and badassery to come and I’m also really looking forward to leaning into the soft parts of myself.

Hope you needed a little sunshine today because I’m full of it.

Love you, mean it.
