Messy, Marvelous, and Moving Forward: Cheers to 2025

 As the clock winds down on 2024, I can’t help but laugh a little at how this year felt like a chaotic sitcom starring yours truly. Between trying to "live my best life" and Googling how to be a functional adult at 30-something, I’m honestly just proud we made it through without accidentally subscribing to something cringe-worthy… again.

Let’s be real, though—2024 was a mixed bag. There were the anxiety-filled sleepless nights (you know, the ones where your brain replays that awkward thing you said in 2012), but also those unexpected bursts of joy that reminded me life doesn’t always have to be so serious. Like when I wore mismatched undies to an important occasions and somehow still nailed it. Or when I finally said "no" to things that drained me and "yes" to that double chocolate cupcake because of priorities.

And then there’s the big lesson: growth doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes it’s messy, like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions. But hey, even when life feels like it's falling apart, it’s just reassembling into something better—hopefully with fewer leftover screws.

As 2025 tiptoes in (with polite optimism, please), I’m not planning any grand resolutions. No "new year, new me" nonsense. Just more moments of grace for myself. More dancing to random songs in my living room. More embracing this anxious, happy-go-lucky, positive ball of energy that I am—messy hair, mismatched socks, and all.

So here’s to us, navigating another year of plot twists, awkward moments, and unexpected joy. Let’s keep showing up, taking deep breaths, and finding love in the little things. And if 2025 throws us curveballs? We’ll just laugh, cry, and keep moving forward—


With love, 


Chits. ❤️

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
