Here's my annual year-end recap! 2025 was a fun and trying year!
🎉 We adopted our 3 foster kitties Acorn, Maple, and Autumn bringing our menagerie up to 5 cats.
🎉 We expanded Flourish Skin Therapy and have been renovating it, painting, and decorating every spare moment since July. We are FINALLY almost done! This seriously took most of our energy this year. I have a whole new appreciation for this kind of work! Phew!
🎉 Purchased ALL the esthetics equipment needed for my first employee to get started in the new year and it's all paid off! 👏
🎉 Took my first riding lesson in 13 years with James River Stables, LLC and look forward to riding with them regularly in 2026 now that they have moved closer to me! Yay!
🎉 Made many fun memories with my awesome friends!
🎉 Learned how to bake my own bread!
🎉 Journaled every day focusing on 3 things every day that I am grateful for. I can't tell you how much this daily habit has changed my life!
🎉 We got our awesome garden shed that we designed and we LOVE it!
🎉 Celebrated each turn of the wheel this year. I really connected to nature and what each season offers us.
🎉 Made a lot of fun crafts and crocheted some of my best blankets ever!
Next year I want to ride horses more, plant our garden, clear our land for horses, stay off my phone when I'm "bored" and instead pick up a book, travel, expand Flourish, learn more about native plants, and be present.
Here's to a happy and healthy 2026! 😊
