Thank you, 2024, for giving me the courage to step into my power once more. For granting me the space and time to reflect, process, and prioritize myself—even when the journey felt unsettling, sorrowful, and deeply uncomfortable. I made the difficult choice to walk away from a place I cherished and people who brought me joy and connection. I left by my own will, knowing it would not be easy but was so necessary for my growth.. I found solace in the messages and texts from students whose love and support continue to remind me of the bonds we share. And I am forever grateful for the continuous invites, and for those who continue to reach out , grab coffee, or drop in. I love you all . Like a river carving its path over a bed of rocks, the relationships meant to endure will forever leave their mark on the universe—and in my heart. 2024 has been a year of transformation, one that widened my perspective and clarified what I want to share with the world. Untethered and free, I am taking control of my journey—and inviting you all to come along for the ride. The possibilities are limitless, and the future feels as expansive as the sky. I am deeply grateful to Equinox for giving me the space to shine and for the incredible opportunities to collaborate and create within our vibrant community of students and teachers. Your support and energy have been a constant source of inspiration, and together we’ve built something truly special. A special shout out to the most amazing leadership team , and fellow teacher’s 🤍 And to all my students ( my greatest teachers of all) too many to tag! As I look ahead, 2025 is calling for all the things: growth, adventure, teaching, creating, and stepping fully into life. It will be about embracing the unknown, continuing to learn, and striving to become the best versions of ourselves. Here’s to traveling farther, dreaming bigger, loving harder, and living more fully. Together, let’s make this new year one of expansion, elevation, and endless possibility. Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year. May we remain open to new experiences, Unexpected friendships, Heartfelt reconciliations And cherished new memories 🤍✨ Love Sam
