Inspired by Mother Teresa's quiet wisdom about love's transformative power, we find a profound truth: while we may not change the entire world, each act of love and kindness creates ripples that reach far beyond our sight.
As 2025 unfolds, many of us face uncertainties we never anticipated. The Los Angeles fires have left communities in ashes, forcing families to flee with only memories of the homes they've lost. Political shifts have shaken our sense of stability. In these moments of profound change, we're reminded of life's most essential lesson – its sacred nature and the power of human connection. When the world feels chaotic, let us remember:
Like ripples across still water, each compassionate action extends far beyond our immediate reach. When we choose to stand for what's right and never give up, to help those in need and to love more boldly – we create movements of hope that touch countless lives. My friend, let us be reminded: we are stronger together. Every challenge is an opportunity to build our resilience and the boundless capacity of the human heart. Sending you love!

Happy New Year! As I write this letter in the new year, I reflect on the special ways our journeys have touched and how grateful I am for you! It has been a year filled with endings and new beginnings, disappointments and triumphs, tears and joy. From conversations with so many of you, I know these sentiments echo through some of your experiences. I find such comfort in knowing that we aren't meant to carry our struggles alone, and by sharing them, we find wholeness and peace. As we close another chapter, I invite you to pause and reflect on the year gone by. Take this moment to shift your perspective and look at the world around you through new eyes – eyes that are filled with grace and compassion for yourself and others. Consider what you envision for yourself and your loved ones: What fills you with peace? What invites acceptance? What brings you joy? What greatest strengths would you like to 'highlight' in the year ahead? The new year promises to bring change and opportunities, inviting us to create a new vision grounded in truth and meaning. Yes, the big lessons in life often feel heavy and too big to carry alone – trust that you never need to carry them alone. 2024 has taught me several lessons I'd like to share with you: Trust your intuition and apply critical thinking before making important decisions. We can only access the still voice within until we become quiet enough to hear it. Dreams grounded in reality require consistency, perseverance and devotion. There are no shortcuts to meaningful achievement. Setting healthy boundaries, both personally and professionally, is truly a game changer. It allows us to serve others while honoring ourselves. Above all, I've learned to lean into my faith, trusting that I am exactly where I am meant to be and that life is unfolding in divine timing for the good of all. As we begin a new year, may peace fill your heart. May you take time to marvel at how far you've come, have faith in how far you have yet to go and draw strength from knowing how far we can journey together. Much love, and may 2025 bring the fresh start your heart desires. |
