2024!

 What a year! As I scrolled through my photos to create a collage for each month, it hit me—no wonder I’m heading into 2025 feeling a little exhausted! 😂 But wow, 2024, you were unforgettable.

This was the year I celebrated a big milestone: 50 trips around the sun! My word for the year was joy, and let me tell you, joy is no passive feeling. It’s an active pursuit—a choice to find light in dark moments, to share smiles when tears feel easier, and to trust God’s faithfulness every step of the way.

2024 wasn’t without its ups and downs, but it taught me how to carry joy through it all. I found joy in new adventures, in old traditions, and in countless moments that reminded me just how good God is—how present He is in the highs and lows and how His love sustains through it all.

Thank you, 2024. I learned, I grew, and I’m grateful.

And thank you to all my friends and family who shared this year with me—your prayers, encouragement, and laughter brought the gifts of peace, comfort, strength, and love! 

Here’s to stepping into 2025 ready to THRIVE—stronger, smarter, healthier, and with JOY!!

I love you, pass it on!
