2025: IN'S and OUT'S

and reflections and dreams

the concept of New Years is delicious and romantic to me. I love any opportunity to reflect, shift, make lists, renew. I have a lot to be grateful for and hopeful for. most of all I think I like marking time in such a strong way because I think in exact dates and seasons when I think about my life. , so this is a new era. odd years of my life are usually more fun than even ones, I hope that’s still true
