so grateful 2025

Gratitude.

It’s a word used a lot. It’s a word strived for. It’s a word that comes with pressure and conviction. It’s a word that comes with deep emotions and joy that makes you cry.

As I do my end of the year picture exercise (click here for the explanation and instructions), it hits hard - another year has come and gone. Then it really hits hard. It hits ‘gratitude' hard.

I am actually physically overwhelmed with all I embraced, latched onto, strove for, attempted, failed at, cried about, celebrated, and deeply contemplated. The saying goes that life is precious and goes fast, so give it your all.

I have to say, 2025 was my third year in a row, GIVING IT MY ALL. That’s where the overwhelming gratitude stems from.

Yes, I had moments of laziness and frustration. Yes, I stayed up a bit too many nights late. But I did the hard! But I did the fun! But I DID 2025! I did Teshra!

2026 - will I do it again? Heck yes! Heck YES! HECK YES! New challenges and new struggles are for sure, but I am so excited!

It is an incredible place to be knowing you really did do it all, and even more incredible to know that the coming year truly is going to be even more exciting!

To all those who I served and helped and encouraged - thank you for allowing me to! Organizing finances has been a major foundation for my life, thank you for letting it be one for yours too! I hope to have the continued honor of serving you in 2026!
