A year ago, I envisioned a life filled with growth, stability, and perhaps a clearer sense of direction. Some of those aspirations have come to fruition—small victories that I am genuinely proud of. Yet, as life often does, it also brought unexpected challenges that I hadn’t planned for or even imagined.

The truth is, life seldom unfolds exactly as we picture it. But amidst the twists and turns, it has a way of teaching us, shaping us, and sometimes surprising us with moments we never even contemplated.

As I reflect, I am grateful for the progress I’ve made, resilient through the battles I’ve faced, and thankful for the moments that turned out far better than I could have envisioned.

How about you? Does your life today mirror the vision you had in mind a year ago? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
