🌿 My 2025 Year Review

Now that December is here again and a full year has passed, I’ve taken stock of this year.
I believe it’s important to look back – not as self-punishment, but to see how much learning and strength can emerge even from the most difficult years.
And to recognize what was actually a success, even if it looked different than we imagined.

For a long time, I thought this year was a failure.
That I didn’t move forward in my life.
That I “wasted” or “messed up” the year. 😔

But as I listed this year’s events, I can now see:
this year wasn’t about growth, but about survival and re-organization.
And perhaps about laying the foundation for the next year. 🌱

Maybe such a year is necessary too.

💔 This was a year when I experienced multiple losses at once…

The death of one of my best friends shook me deeply.
25 years of true friendship.
A person who was here one day, gone the next.
(I’m still processing this…)

This experience brought the fragility and impermanence of life very close,
and it also showed me how important it is to truly be present.

Another former colleague and dear friend passed away in a similar way, also at a young age.
For me, these are silent layers that affect the nervous system for a long time.

🧠 This year was clearly the year of my nervous system’s limits…

I got tired.
Emotionally exhausted.
I felt disappointment in relationships, in people.

In this state, I couldn’t build.
I could only try to hold myself together.

And I did that.
And that is also strength. 💪

💼 Work & business – “why didn’t I progress?”

Yes, there was almost zero active business building in Forever this year.
My online presence was minimal, and that hurt.

But now I see it clearly:
it wasn’t laziness – it was exhaustion.

Meanwhile:

✅ I worked full-time throughout the year
✅ I had my Airbnb season with lovely guests
✅ I regularly hosted dogs through my pet-sitting business
✅ I had wonderful massage and exchange treatments
✅ I was present in the lives of my true friends

This is not “nothing.”
This was maintenance – and this was also progress. 🤍

Sometimes the Universe teaches us in mysterious ways... 🌊✨

When my phone broke down in early August on my way to Hungary, I panicked at first.
But now I know — this wasn't bad luck or an accident, it was a true gift! 🎁💫

I managed to capture the truly important moments — yoga camp, adventures with friends, and at the class reunion, others took plenty of photos, so all precious memories were saved.
Then I realized: in many situations, I didn't miss my phone at all! 🧘‍♀️📸

I discovered that EVERYTHING works — just differently! ⭐

💆‍♀️ Massage appointments via landline
🏡 Airbnb bookings through email
💚 Forever business through personal meetings
📊 Council work became even more efficient

But the greatest gift wasn't even this... 🌸

It was being TRULY present in my life:

🌊 Watching the waves instead of my screen
📚 Reading books before bed instead of scrolling Instagram
🎯 ADHD symptoms significantly decreased, my focus improved
🤍 Finally seeing my relationships clearly

It was amazing to experience:

🍃 Toxic people naturally faded away
✨ Those who matter stayed
🦋 Those who left needed to go
💭 My thoughts became clearer
💫 My presence stronger

This phone detox (not a complete digital detox!) taught me something:

👉 You don't need to be online 24/7 to be SUCCESSFUL! 🌟

In fact, this period helped me see more clearly:

💝 Who and what truly matters in my life
💪 How my businesses REALLY work
🌈 And yes — how amazing the life is that I'm building!

Now I know — this wasn't an accident or bad luck.
This was the Universe's gift! 🙏

💫 Helped me rediscover myself
🤍 Return to my true self
✨ And emerge as an even stronger WOMAN 👑

Sometimes we need to disappear from social media
to truly find ourselves... 🦋

When was the last time YOU dared to "disappear" for a while? 😊
Tag someone who needs this reminder! 💝

And if you're curious about how I manage multiple businesses while staying present and balanced,
DM me with "BALANCE" — I'd love to share my journey with you! 🦋

The journey of transformation sometimes starts with a simple drive... ✨

As I sit behind the wheel, watching the English countryside unfold before me, I can't help but smile. 🌸 This isn't just another road trip - this is MY journey, MY freedom. 💫

Passing by the mystical Stonehenge, crossing the Channel, feeling that incredible sense of independence...

⭐️ There's something magical about driving through the night, just me and the open road.

The summer sky painting endless colors above me, from golden sunsets to starlit nights - nature's own light show guiding my way through this 24-hour adventure. 🌅

With each mile, with each sip of my FAB (because a woman running multiple businesses knows how to stay energized! 😉💫), I feel more alive, more ME. This is what freedom feels like - choosing your own path, following your own rhythm. 🦋

I can feel it in my heart and soul - magical things are about to unfold. 💝
The Universe has its own perfect timing, and right now, it's whispering: 'You're ready for what comes next.' 🌟

And I am. Ready to embrace the magic. Ready to transform. Ready to shine. 💫✨

🌊 Something has shifted since March... and for the first time, I feel ready to write about it.

You know how sometimes life doesn't just open a new chapter, but starts writing a completely new book with us? 📖
That's exactly what's been happening these past months.

Right now, I'm living inward. 🧘‍♀️
Things are happening within me that are hard to put into words. It's as if everything is being rewritten inside — quietly, layer by layer. 🪷

I'm working, running my businesses, but meanwhile, something much deeper is happening. I'm quieter. And for the first time... I'm letting this be okay. 💫

I'm allowing. Observing. Breathing. Transforming. 🌿

For a long time, I didn't understand why I was slowing down. Why something was pulling me inward, why "living outward" wasn't flowing. But now I'm starting to see: This isn't weakness, it's realignment. 🦋

It feels like something much bigger is working through all of us right now. Some call it energy, others call it the stars aligning, some might just say: these are strange times. ✨ All I know is that I deeply feel it and live it.

And I keep receiving signs that seem to guide me, reminding me: there is no getting lost.
Only transformation. 🌙

One moment you're standing in the light... the next you're quietly transforming. 🌞 Right now, I'm healing.
Dissolving, letting go, rebuilding. 🌸

From the outside, there might be silence, but inside, everything is in motion. ⭐️ Day by day, I feel something new forming within me – even if I can't fully articulate it yet.

I haven't disappeared. This is a time of deep transformation. And if you're feeling this way lately: know that you're not alone. 🕊️

This isn't the time for struggle. This is the time for surrender, for coming home to ourselves. 🌺

How are you feeling lately? Does this resonate with you? 🤍

I live 10 minutes from the sea in Devon, and sometimes I still can't believe it. ✨ Especially when I remember that girl who was once afraid to leave her room... 🌊

I've had panic attacks since I was little. In the 90s, it was so unknown that I had to research my symptoms online and tell my psychologist what I thought it might be... She just kept taking notes. 📝 At age 11, the endless testing of medications began - I felt like a guinea pig. 🐰

At 17, came Xanax. I became dependent on it for about 1.5-2 years. If it was up to the doctor, I'd still be taking it - like that lady next to me at the hospital who had been on it for 15 years. 😔 When I heard that, I knew I had to make a change! 💪

The panic attacks varied in intensity - sometimes lasting "only" an hour, but often torturing me for 6-8 hours. Every possible symptom would come one after another... My parents thought it was just "attention-seeking" and told me to "just stop it..." Well, I wish I could have... 💔 If I didn't take the medication on time, withdrawal symptoms kicked in. I thought this would be my life forever... But it wasn't! 🌟

Important note: this is my personal story, my journey. I'm not suggesting others should do the same - everyone's path to healing is different, and some people need medication. I just want to share that there is a way out of rock bottom. ⭐

Today, I am running multiple businesses: I'm a qualified massage therapist 💆‍♀️ helping others find harmony through personalized treatments, Forever Living business owner to help others with high quality wellbeing products 🌿, have an Airbnb room 🏡, do pet sitting 🐕, work for the council, and yes, I'm even a part-time waitress! 💫 Every day is different, and I love it! ✨

This is just the beginning of my transformation journey to become the fittest, most confident version of myself. And if you're struggling right now, know this: there is a way out. Sometimes rock bottom is where the real journey begins. 🦋

One of my favourite books, 'The Little Prince', holds so many treasures of wisdom.

Today, this quote speaks directly to my heart 📖💫

"It's madness to hate all roses because of one thorn 🌹, to give up all dreams because one didn't come true 🌙, to abandon every try because of a single failure 🚪...

It's madness to condemn every friendship because one betrayed you 🤝, to stop believing in love because someone was unfaithful 💔, to throw away every chance to be happy just because something broke 🚫.

There's always another chance 🔄, another friend 🤗, another love ❤️, another strength 💪.

Every ending holds the seed of a new beginning 🌱'

Here in Devon, the sea has become my greatest teacher 🌊✨
As I watch the waves gently caress the shore and seagulls soar freely, the endless horizon reminds me of infinite possibilities 🕊️
The ocean has this magical way of cleansing our souls, giving us energy, and healing our hearts 💫

As I stand here, watching the waves embrace the shore, I feel nature's gentle reminder: we are meant to grow through our experiences, not be broken by them 🦋

Sometimes the hardest thing is to keep our hearts open... but just like the sea never stops its eternal dance with the shore, we must never stop believing in new possibilities 💝

Every wave brings a new beginning, every sunset promises a fresh start ✨
Nature knows best - we just need to trust its rhythm and flow 🌅

❤️ ❤️

✨ Found this heart-shaped stone on Lyme Regis beach the other day...

A gentle reminder from nature that sometimes the most precious gifts come in the simplest forms. 🍃

It made me think of these beautiful words:
🤍

"And one day, you realise it was never about the big things.
You realise it's actually about the little moments that feel like magic ✨
It's about the simplest of seconds that make you smile 🌟
It's about the genuine experiences that fill your heart with joy 💫
It's about the conversations that make you believe in kindness and compassion 🕊️
It's about the hugs you want to hold for that little bit longer 🤗
It's about surrounding yourself with people that feel like sunshine ☀️
It's about the moments of peace and stillness that prove how beautiful the world can be 🌸
It was never about the big things."
— .allyislia
💫

These words remind me that real magic often hides in the quietest corners of life:
a warm hug 🤗, a kind word 💬, a soft morning light 🌅, someone who feels like home 🏡✨

Living by the Jurassic coast has taught me this truth...
Real magic lives in beach walks, in unexpected finds like this stone,
in genuine smiles and warm hugs,
in quiet moments when your heart feels at peace. 🌾

Sometimes, the smallest moments are the ones that heal us the most. 🌸

You know that magical moment at dawn when the world is still asleep, but your soul is already dancing... 🌅✨

I woke up at 4 AM today, and while reading in bed, I suddenly felt it: the sea was calling. 🌊
Without thinking, I jumped in my car and went. (Yes, this is possible too! 😊💫)

Standing on the beach early morning, the sun was already warmly caressing my skin, the breeze playfully tousling my hair, and the waves were whispering so gently, as if they were telling stories just for me. 🌞 And then it hit me: this is true freedom! 🦋

That I can just go to the beach whenever I want.
That I can choose. That I can breathe. 🌈

As I watched the horizon and listened to the gentle murmur of the waves, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness. 🙏✨

You know what?
This is exactly what I couldn't even dream of as a teenager, when anxiety kept me housebound for a year... But now... now I'm standing here before this endless blue, and every wave whispers: 'You did it!' ⭐️

Life is really like this morning beach sometimes 🏖- it has its high and low tides, sometimes calm, sometimes wild, but the sun always rises and always brings something magical.☀️✨️

Like yesterday's unexpected orchid from a dear friend...💕 or this spontaneous dawn adventure with myself. 🌸

Because sometimes this is exactly what we need - to just let go of control, set out on a journey and let our hearts lead the way. 💫

How do you recharge? Is there a place that means as much to you? 💕

About unexpected flowers and true friendship... ✨

You know those moments when your heart feels heavy,
when trust seems like a distant memory,
and when you're questioning everything? 💭

And then...
Someone shows up at your door with an orchid in glass,
just because they know you love them,
just because they know you need a reminder that beauty still exists. 🌸

No questions asked.
No explanations needed.
Just pure, simple love. 💝

It's funny how life works sometimes:

While we're healing from people who left,
we often forget to celebrate those who stay.
Those who show up.
Those who remember your favorite flowers.
Those who bring light to your dark days.
Just because. ✨

These friendships are rare gems in our lives. 💎
The ones where:

🦋 You can be completely yourself
🤍 No judgment, just understanding
💫 They remember the little things
🌸 They show up on random Monday afternoons
💝 They hold space for both your tears and laughter
✨ Distance doesn't matter
💫 Time doesn't change anything

To my friend Esther, who knew exactly what my soul needed:

Thank you for being you.🩷
Thank you for showing me that sometimes the most precious kind of love🪻
isn't the romantic kind –
it's the quiet, consistent kind🙏
that shows up with orchids and carries hope in glass vases. 🌺

And to all my supporting friends and to anyone reading this:

Cherish these friendships. 💫
Nurture them. 🌱
Celebrate them. 💝
Because while some people walk away,
true friends walk in with flowers and love,
exactly when you need them most. 💕

About midnight revelations... ✨

Last night, unable to sleep, I found an old book dedication:
"Know that you have more strength than you think." 📖✨

Funny how messages find us exactly when we need them most:
💭 When our heart is heavy
🤍 When someone's silence speaks louder than words
✨ When connections that felt eternal... suddenly vanish

They say some people come into our lives to awaken something within us, then leave without explanation. 🦋
Not because we weren't enough,
but because they weren't ready for the reflection they saw in our eyes. 🪞

And yes, it hurts:
• The unanswered messages 💌
• The unexplained distance
• The stories left unfinished

But then...
🚂 A stranger helps with your luggage on a train
💫 A random conversation brings unexpected wisdom
📖 An old book dedication reminds you of your strength

And slowly you realize:
🌅 Every ending is also a new beginning
💫 Every pain is also an awakening
✨ Every silence is also an answer

Because sometimes people choose:
• comfort over growth 🌱
• silence over truth
• running over rising
And that's okay. 🤍

The truth is:
No matter how much love you give,
No matter how much space you hold,
Some people aren't ready to meet you where you are.

Sometimes it's not about you not being enough...
It's about you being too much for the version of themselves they're comfortable staying in. 🦋

It's not your job to shrink yourself to fit into spaces where growth isn't welcome.
Your boundaries aren't rejection.
Your clarity isn't criticism.
Your strength isn't a threat.

Your only job is to stay open:
💫 To new connections
✨ To unexpected signs
🤍 To the whispers of the Universe telling you that you're exactly where you need to be

Even if it hurts right now.
Especially if it hurts right now. 🕊️

Because pain isn't just about breaking –
it's about breaking OPEN.
And in that openness, we find our true strength. 💫

Weekend tranquility and gratitude 🧘‍♀️✨

After a super busy but successful week of checking off all my to-dos, it feels amazing to slow down and recharge! 🌿

Time for self-care rituals: herbal tea, pure water, light nourishing meals, and of course: YOGA! 🧘‍♀️🫖💫

Rolling out my mat today, I instantly felt that magical Bali energy from Kata's amazing Yogasectrets workshop (still grateful I manifested winning it last year! 🙏✨️🧘‍♀️)

Post-yoga feels: harmony, balance, pure energy flowing... and yes, I'm full of dreams and goals - already taking action on them! ⭐️

All in, Baby! 🩷 ✨️

How are you spending your weekend? 💕
