Moments and Musings /004

These reflections on the year past and the promise ahead emerged slowly over four days, like stars appearing at twilight...

Happy New Year! It feels like both an eternity and mere moments since we last spoke—these early January days have a curious way of bending time. The transition back to ordinary rhythms after the festive whirlwind feels simultaneously endless and lightning-fast, caught in that dreamy space between celebrations and schedules. I hope you've been able to settle softly into 2025, and that these first days of the year have been full of promise. For the past six years, each January found me carefully penning resolutions, leaving behind a paper constellation of dreams and intentions. But this year feels different. Not because those meticulously penned lists failed me, but rather, I've found myself listening to a deeper rhythm, one that no longer requires the familiar structure of written resolutions. This edition of Moments and Musings is filled with new year’s thoughts and reflections on what I’ve learned and discovered in the year we leave behind, and my hopes and plans for the new year ahead.
