Grateful for 2024 Lessons. Onward and Upwards!
Is it just me, or did 2024 fly by? Looking back, I can hardly believe I moved my entire life across the ocean.
This year has tested every fiber of my "I don't like change" being, but in the end, I find myself filled with deep gratitude.
I feel like 2024 has been an incubation period—one where I've had to face my demons, confront my fears, and choose my path forward.
Every experience has fueled my storytelling, and I'm eager to carry that energy into 2025.
A few reflections:
- Sold everything and moved to the Dominican Republic
- Cried more times than I can count since leaving my kids
- Became an empty nester
- Completed my manuscript
- Submitted to a publisher showing interest
- Rejected by the publisher who showed interest
- Led my first Masterclass on Healing through Expressive Writing
- Reconciled a friendship and let go of others that were only meant for a season
And so much more.
I believe that our experiences can inform us but they don't have to define us—something that took a long time for me to understand for myself.
That's why I'm looking forward, not forgetting whats behind and embracing the wisdom learned from all 2024 needed me to heal from.
As creators, everything we experience is never wasted.
So as this year comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude.
How about you? What are you grateful for in 2024?
