Good Bye 2025! Hello 2026!

This year has been nothing short of INTERESTING, to say the least.

Instead of simply going around in circles on a merry-go-round, I took the leap onto a full-fledged ROLLER COASTER of experiences and emotions!

WTH!!!!

The year kicked off with a sense of uncertainty, as if I was climbing up the first steep incline of the ride (GOING UP).

However, the thrill quickly turned into a jarring reality when I was laid off from my job (DRAMATIC PLUNGE).

I dove headfirst into the job search process, following all the advice and strategies that career experts recommend which felt like the ascent back up the track (GOING UP).

After what seemed like a flurry of applications and interviews, I finally found a contract job that offered a glimpse of stability, but the path was anything but smooth (BUMPY RIDE IN A LOOP).

Then came the moment when I gave desired end date to my agency, a decision that sent me packing up my laptop and shipping it off early (DRAMATIC DROP).

During the late spring and summer months, I embraced the freedom that came with my new circumstances, allowing myself to enjoy life to the fullest. This period was filled with laughter, adventure, and personal growth (BEST PART OF THE RIDE).

I considered going back to the corporate world and had some promising interviews, but they either fell through or I received no response. This led me to pause and think about what I truly want for my future. Given the unexpected changes in my career this year, I've decided to stop trying to force myself into situations that don't fit. I needed to let go, detox, and release the expectation of re-entering the workforce.

Now, the landscape looks remarkably different. I am navigating this new terrain independently, which brings both excitement and a hint of trepidation. I AM ON MY OWN.

As I reflect on my journey, I have moved on to a new amusement park altogether.

So, what’s in store for 2026?

It’s time to embrace my holistic and “crunchy” lifestyle, a shout out to my inspiring niece Chloe!

Rather than setting traditional New Year’s resolutions that often fade away, I have identified a few projects that I intend to carry forward with purpose and intention into 2026.

1.      Mission Lean (#GOALS)—a commitment to my health and well-being.

2.      Organic Garden—a project to cultivate my own food and connect with nature.

3.      The Balanced Woman Project (for my community)—a platform to empower and uplift women around me.

As I embark on this exciting journey, I invite you to join me and stay updated on my progress throughout the year. Sign up for my emails to follow along as I navigate this new path!

Hugs and Love!
