As I look back on 2024, it feels like a year of profound lessons and beautiful transformations. Each moment brought its own gift—some soft and joyful, others challenging but ultimately life-changing. And at the heart of it all was the reminder: we are constantly evolving, moving from what was into what can be.
Stella: Love in Four Paws
The year started with a bundle of joy—Stella, my new French Bulldog and the absolute love of my life. Stella has this way of grounding me in the present, reminding me to laugh, to play, and to find delight in the simple things. Whether it’s her snuggles or her hilarious antics, she’s been a constant reminder that love comes in forms we might not expect but always exactly when we need it.
Surgery: Healing and Resilience
Not long after Stella entered my life, I faced a major challenge: cervical spine fusion for myelopathy and radiculopathy. It was becoming debilitating, and honestly, I didn’t realize how much it was holding me back until it wasn’t anymore. The surgery wasn’t just about healing my body—it was about reclaiming my life. Ongoing recovery brings its own lessons about patience, vulnerability, and resilience, and stepping into the new year feels like stepping into a “new me.”
Mediumship: Spirit and Connection
By the time I co-hosted my first in-person mediumship event with Margaret VanLaanMartin this December, I felt a shift within me—a sense of stepping fully into my purpose. That event wasn’t just amazing; it was transformative. It showed me the power of connection, both with spirit and with the people who came to share in that sacred space. I'm forever appreciative of Margaret (ageofaquariuschico.com) for bringing this event together, Hair, Body, and Soul for the beautiful location in Paradise, CA, and the incredible women who attended.
The Lesson: Reflect, Release, Renew
Each of these experiences—Stella’s love, my healing journey, and the mediumship event—taught me something about moving from duality closer to unity.
Stella reminded me of the joy in the present moment, grounding me in love and laughter.
The surgery taught me to let go of what weighs me down physically, emotionally, and mentally so I could embrace freedom and renewal.
Mediumship opened the door to deeper connections, reminding me of the unity we all share through spirit.
As Rumi said: "Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you."
Your Reflection for the New Year
As we step into 2025, here’s a few questions to sit with:
What brought you joy this past year, and how can you invite more of it into your life?
What can you release—be it physical, emotional, or mental—that no longer serves you?
How can you embrace renewal, not just as a resolution but as a way of being?
For me, this year has been about letting go, lighting up, and leaning into transformation. Here’s to a 2025 full of love, growth, and connection—for all of us.
