My word for 2025 was āgratitudeā (reused from ā24 I know, I know). But if Iām being perfectly honest, it was hard sometimes to feel grateful this past year. 2025 put many of us to the test. When my physical health was a challenge, it took a toll on my mental health too. But in hindsight, the bad days made me that much more grateful for the good ones, turning them into great days even. Hereās a collection of my favorite great days, and hereās to many more in 2026.
My west coast tour wouldnāt have been complete without a menty b on sunset blvd, but we made it. Best and worst work trip in the books. Salt Lake Cityā°ļøā”ļø LAš“ ā”ļø Carmelš ā”ļø SFš ā”ļø Palo Altošµ
Itās impossible to caption countless SML sunsets, boat rides, diving competitions, games of kings, and times I looked around and felt overwhelmed with awe and joy as if I was seeing the lake for the first time. So Iāll leave with this, I wish there was a way to know youāre in the good old days before youāve left them.
My word for 2024 was āgratitudeā and man do I feel so much my heart could swell.
This holiday season was one for the books. Tom and I spent our first Christmas together, in all of our 7 years the stars finally aligned for us to spend Christmas morning with each other. I witnessed my best friend marry the love of her life in the wedding to end all weddings. And I got to spend time with wonderful friends, both old and new.
Hereās to another year of savoring every moment. 2025 you have a lot to live up to. I might just have to reuse āgratitudeā for my word this year.
