Goodbye 2025

Today is New Year’s Eve, the last day of 2025. It is just after 5 AM, and I’m enjoying a cup of coffee as the dryer hums in the background, and the dim light in my office casts a golden glow.

My thoughts are of goodbyes and hellos, past versions of myself meeting new ones, letting go and grabbing hold…once again, Nagori.  I don’t understand why, but my soul sings during the in between.

Maybe part of it is that I’m learning how to wait on God, learning how to sit quietly and listen, to not force things, to let go, to rest in him. To trust. Faith is fascinating and beautiful, confusing, ethereal, individual.

Perhaps my heart finds happiness in this space because times of transition invite reflection and deeper thinking, demanding silence and solitude so that the mind can catch up to time. Briefly, the world slows down, and details often lost to busyness suddenly reveal themselves. Nagori.

Today I say goodbye to what is and was, and hello to what is and what will be.

I fully honor the ending year, the blessings, the difficulties, all those beautiful moments strung together through time. Memories.

Grounded, mindful, aware, I hold space for time as it unfolds. Fully present. In the moment. Here.

There is an air of peace I hope to hold onto throughout the year to come. I whisper, prayerfully asking, seeking, believing. It’s not about my expectation for the year, but my faith in God to provide, to comfort, to make a way.

Goodbye. Hello.
