I was thinking about 2025 as it was ending. The year was incredibly challenging, and yet, fill dwith so much goodness. Not all of it was bad.

I met some amazing women in person @_straysteph_, @didadawn84, @edlinmarie20.
Some virtually. @lvngdead_girl, @death_by_dumpling_, @eating.tacos.in.my.activewear, @justabandanna.
Some friendships survived.
Some didn’t.
All for a reason.
Saw Stray Kids, up close.
Made impact (hush Steph).
Stopped hiding and found my people.
Got a new job.
Let things go.
And these are just the things off the top of my head.

Every single day, I can find little joys.
I just have to look.

So here’s my project for 2026.
Every day, I will post to my stories one thing that brought me joy, and then add it to a highlight. So that when the year ends, I will have 365 beautiful moments to look back on.

My momma said I could be anything, so I became a problem.

It takes a strong and exceptional soul

to say, I’ll go down

I know I will forget what heaven’s like

all I’ll remember is how to love

and because of that

everything will hurt a lot more

but still

I’ll go taken in Chicago, Illinois by @zavi.zu

“A Woman in harmony with her spirit
is like a river flowing.
She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination
prepared to be herself
and only herself ”

It’s ok

If you take it one day… heck, one moment at a time

If your family drives you crazy and you’re about to lose your marbles

If you need to lock yourself in the bathroom to get a few minutes alone, so that you catch your breath and find it in yourself to keep going

If you’re anything like me, you keep trying to find a rhythm. But the moment you find anything that resembles it, things change again and you’re thrown for a loop.

And it’s ok if you don’t have the answers yet… even though you’re trying your damnest to find them.

I’m with you there.

With love. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @zavi.zu

Every day you’re with us is a gift.

When mom and dad left for United States, but my sister and I stayed in Poland, you stepped in and filled the void.

Even though grandpa was battling leukemia and you could have used his good days to enjoy the time you had left with him. You knew the bad days would come eventually.

You were my solid ground, when everything else was falling apart.

And even though I fought you every step of the way, because my 15 year old mind didn’t comprehend what was going on (and let’s face it, I wasn’t inclined to see past my own nose), you were both a grandmother, and both parents, and those were big shoes to fill.

You knew I needed you, and you did the best you could to keep my rebellious self alive and well.

It all turned out well, Babciu. I just wish you could have been able to hold my boys when they were little.

Wish you could see them.

Happy 97th Birthday, Nana! Wish I could hug and kiss you today… even though I hear you sleep most of the time.

I love you. taken in Poland by @zavi.zu

It’s ok if your road doesn’t look like anything you’ve imagined.

Doesn’t mean you’re not on the right path.

Keep going.

One step at a time.

And keep your eyes on your path.

Your journey is your own.
