Bringing in the new year surrounded by my fiancé, friends, and our furry family was the perfect way to end one chapter and begin the next. As 2025 starts with its own challenges, I’m reminding myself to focus on what I can control: finding peace within, trusting my journey, and filling my world with people and moments that bring me joy. This year is especially meaningful as I prepare to turn 40. It’s a milestone that feels like a reminder to embrace the beauty in every moment—big or small—and to continue learning and growing through life’s ups and downs. To anyone reading this: take a moment to breathe, celebrate the little joys, and surround yourself with love this year. Here’s to 2025 being a year of peace, purpose, and so many moments that make you smile. ✨ #nye #engaged #lifeover40
