Grateful for the Year in Retrospect 🌸✨

 

2025 was a magical year.

For me, it was one of the most loving years so far.

 

In January, I watched films that moved my core and made my fingertips tingle. This is where the fairy tale began.

 In February, I filmed the most beautiful clips in one of the most magical forests I have seen so far and enjoyed heartfelt conversations with the trees.

 In March, I sang, danced, restructured, recalibrated, and journaled to encourage my entire self to grow steadily in my desired direction.

 In April, I was still singing, but I also listened more closely to the trees while writing – making meaning and merging the pieces that were still there.

 In May, I walked barefoot in several ancient, welcoming forests, recorded my first song, filmed a commercial, and wrote down the lines of poetry the trees whispered to me while I sat with them.

 In June, I was making mandalas and polishing BLOOM! until I released it.

 In July, I travelled, held my daily talks with the ocean, and shape-shifted through new revelations. I also wrote a poem about a Valerian plant who smiled to me.

 In August, I was cocooned, growing more deeply into my truth, and joiked to a bunch of a wild cats that all listened patiently.

 In September, I bathed in poetry in a way that I never had before that led me to a heart full of healing songs that washed over me like singing tides.

In October, I wrote and read, tightly in a bud, quietly observing the world within and around me, while Life suddenly connected me to the corner of the world where I feel home.

 In November, I was swept by love like never before.

 In December,  (I savoured the fullness of the year).

 

𝐿𝑜𝑜𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀,

I am thankful for how present I allowed myself to be in every single moment.

I am thankful for the rewiring I have done to choose love – always.

I am thankful for those who stepped into my life and for those who left; when you don’t fight for anything, you align with what is truly, divinely yours.

I am deeply thankful for my journey with my brothers in song, Isaac & Thorald – thank you for helping me meet my song. Only the Universe knows how long it had been waiting for me out there!

I am thankful for the time spent healing with music and song.

I am thankful for the time spent creating mandala art.

I am thankful for the time spent writing and reading.

I am thankful for the thousands of eyes reading my posts.

I am thankful for the first true time spent with myself.

And most of all, I am so deeply grateful for the time spent with my forest, with my plants, with my heron, with my squirrels, with my blueberries, with my dragonflies, with my elks, deer, and badgers, with the starry sky over my home, with the waterlily islands, and with my beloved lake.

𝐼 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈.

 

I love this year – it has been absolutely magnificent.

 

I hope your year has also been empowering, soul-cleansing, heart-purifying, and warm, because you chose more love and less fear.

 

I hope your year has been magical, unfolding new paths and revealing new routes within.

I hope your year has been healing and kind, helping you release the threads of life that no longer align with the tapestry you wish your life to be.

 

I hope your year has helped you choose honesty, sincerity, truth – the truth that feels light in your heart, inspires and elevates, connects, and grows. The kind of truth that generates beauty, joy, abundance, love, and harmony.

 

And most of all, I hope your year has given you glimpses into the wholeness and holiness of living – moments where you have felt flow – the merging with life and everything around you.

 

May the upcoming year be

even more magical,

even more loving, and

even more inspiring.

Grateful for the Flower

 

Dear rose,

if there is one flower in particular that has changed my world and helped me to unfold on every level, it is you.

 

I am grateful beyond words for your magic and wisdom, which I began to implement into my daily schedule from the very beginning of this year, as your wisdom entered my life through books and the miraculous messages of the oracle. From that moment, I learned so much from you, and felt something deep within me quietly shift.

 

Then, 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒾𝓃𝓋𝒾𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝓂𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝒾𝓉 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊. Just sit and listen. I kept bringing you home from the flower shops, a bouquet after a bouquet, and sat with you in the early mornings, making space for your wisdom and medicine to speak. You truly are a wise flower, offering far more than beauty alone.

 

As I came to know your medicine a little better and grew familiar with our conversations, I began to invite you into my meditation. You seeped gently into my breathwork practices – and soon, instead of breathing through my heart, I breathed through a rose at the centre of my heart. 𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒷𝓇𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓅𝑒𝒶𝒸𝑒. And so I started to plant roses everywhere within me, breathing through them, which in the long run created so much space and such deep clarity.

 

Dear rose, I let you in. I allowed you to become a part of me, a part of my way of living.

 

In return, you taught me to surrender – and along with that, to forgive and to love more deeply. You taught me to give away my troubles by saying: I hand over this trouble of mine, trusting that it will be taken care of for me in the best possible way. That moment became a turning point. 𝒮𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝒻𝓉𝑒𝒹, 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝑒𝒹. I was recalibrated breath by breath, step by step. The boundaries were widened, letting in more love and more understanding. There was more room for co-creation, and more peace for self-awareness to thrive.

 

Dear rose, what a beautiful gift you have been to me. I cannot thank you enough. I have held you at the centre of my heart throughout this entire year, learning from you and living by your truth, your beauty, and your wisdom. I have learned to know and trust your ways more deeply. Thank you for showing me what else is possible. Thank you for showing me how good it can possibly get. Thank you for teaching me how to love better, every single day.

 

There is always a place for you in my home.

 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒾𝓈 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒶 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒾𝓃 𝓂𝓎 𝑔𝒶𝓇𝒹𝑒𝓃.

 

I love you, dear rose.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

 

Dear friend,

just a quick note, a gentle reminder. 

It’s okay to not be okay every day. Life, after all, is not a straight path – it’s messy, winding, and full of unexpected turns. There will be moments of doubt, frustration, and heaviness, and that is entirely human. Yet even in the mess, your heart remains your compass. Trust it. It knows the way forward, even when the mind is clouded or weary.

Change begins with gratitude – not just the easy kind, but the deep, accepting kind. The kind that allows you to say “This is my life as it is, right now,” and still choose not to be defined by it. It is the gentle recognition of reality paired with the courage to keep going, to build and create a home within yourself first, before expecting the world to mirror it.

If there’s one truth I’ve learned from life, it’s this: 𝒷𝓊𝒾𝓁𝒹 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻 𝒶 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃. When you are at peace with yourself – when you are in good terms with your own heart, kind, understanding, and loving – you carry home wherever you go. The inner world always shapes the outer; the calm, love, and acceptance within you are reflected back in the world around you.

𝒫𝑒𝒶𝒸𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 – 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔. 𝒜𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒷𝑒𝑔𝒾𝓃 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃.

Make peace with yourself. You are your home. You are the constant presence in your life, the one who never leaves, the one who carries you through each day. You are the garden that feeds you, the sanctuary that shelters you. So treat yourself with the care, gentleness, and patience you would offer to someone you love dearly.

This is why change doesn’t require elaborate plans, endless preparations, or complicated methods. True change begins now, in this very moment, with a simple, determined decision to adjust your present based on what feels nourishing, true, and right for you. Not by trying to restructure the world outside, but by reshaping the story in your mind. By retelling your own narrative in a way that brings relief, peace, and love.

Not because you are pretending, not because you are waiting for others to act differently, but because you are willing to show up fully for yourself. To hold yourself, guide yourself, and nurture yourself with a wholehearted presence you may never have given before. It may feel unfamiliar, even difficult, at first – but anything worth having always requires patience, courage, and persistence. And just as you wouldn’t know peace without first experiencing its absence, you also wouldn’t know the beauty of self-compassion without first learning to cultivate it.

So bloom where you are planted. Start where you are. Trust the process. Trust yourself. The roots you grow today will nourish the flowers of tomorrow. 𝒮𝑜 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓈𝒽 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒷𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓇𝑜𝑜𝓉𝓈 𝓌𝒽𝒾𝓁𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓊𝓃𝒻𝑜𝓁𝒹.

Here is your gentle reminder.
