🦋 2025: Year of Being
The main goal for 2025 was simple: “To just be... like a winding path of life.”
I stopped chasing numbers and focused on being present and aware.
Here is a quick look at the year, measured by moments, not stats.
What Happened in 2025
2025 Goal: Live a mindful life, be present.
The focus moved from doing to being. The result was creating a calm, safe place at home for peace and creativity.
Wins:
Community: The best part of the year was the lovingkindness from the community. Sharing food and small moments showed how important real, present relationships are.
Connection: I feel a strong connection to San Francisco and volunteering for the city. I found peace in nature (flowers, sunrises, butterflies).
Lesson: Having time and space is a true gift. Learning to be still when I felt stressed proved that I don’t need to rush; I can just exist.
Reflection 2025
If I had 2 words to describe 2025: it would be people + kindness.
I found kindhearted folks around me wherever I was with my neighbors and the communities where I belong.

2026: Manifesting in progress…
A wonderful sign in Abu Dhabi made me smile!
🌟 2026: Grow Deeper
After focusing on being present in 2025, 2026 is to grow deeper roots, make a difference, and find deeper meaning.
Goal: Mindful living to make a meaningful difference.
Just Be: True life happens when you slow down and focus on being present, not just doing more tasks.
Thrive not just Survive: Grow and fully enjoy things (thrive), not just struggle to get by (survive).
Labyrinth:
Life is not a race or a maze; it’s a labyrinth. A labyrinth is complicated, but it is designed to take you to the center. Choose presence and patience over rushing to a goal.
Mosaic of Life:
Life is a mosaic. It’s built from many small, different, and imperfect moments. Tough, tiny pieces (challenges) are just as needed as the bright ones (joys) to make the final, beautiful picture.
Stillness:
There is a specific, powerful story of slowing down to feel alive. When you pause and stop in a busy day to simply look at a sunrise, a butterfly, or a cup of tea, and that small moment brings total peace.
Power of Seasons:
Link feelings to seasons as a creative way to embrace change— nature’s shift as a mirror for personal growth.
Happy Holidays y’all 🪄 ✨
Looks like 2025 was an amazing year for you Div! Excited for all the manifestations that will come through this year ✨
