As the clock ticks closer to the end of 2024, I canāt help but reflect on what an incredible year it has been for our family. This year wasnāt just about celebrations; it was about growth, stepping out of comfort zones, making bold moves, and seeing long-held dreams start to take shape.

Somewhere along the way, I over-fatigued my already overloaded system.
Thankfully, I have my husband, Hanz, by my side. His unwavering support, his constant reminders to take breaks, and his effort to make sure my ālove cupā is always filled to the brim helped me push through. Looking back at all that weāve accomplished this year, the sadness has lifted. Itās been replaced by a deep sense of gratitude, hope, and joy for every big and small blessing that has come our way.
