This year was unlike any others I've experienced recently. It had my lowest low and, unfortunately, the highs weren't as high as some years. However, my word of the year for 2025 was Fortitude and I leaned in to that frequently throughout the year.
This year, I am going to lean into two words; embrace and cherish. I will embrace whatever comes my way and cherish the memories I make along the way.
