It’s the last few hours of 2025…

Thanks to those who loved me and filled my heart with joy.

Thanks to those who hated me and made me stronger.

Thanks to those who cared enough to check in and remind me I wasn’t alone.

Thanks to those who called or texted around midnight and simply said, “I’m with you. Go ahead.”

Thanks to those who walked away and taught me that nothing lasts forever.

Thanks to the unplanned 'mad'ness that entered my life and made me more alive and alert today.

And thanks to my two wonderful sons, who unknowingly sparked a new confidence in me and in my creative life.

I’m grateful to each of you—for being part of my journey, in whatever way I may have mattered to you.

Love you all. ❤️
