Gratitude for a Beautiful Year
A Year of Rising Together
2025 was an extraordinary year, one filled with writing, launching, sharing, teaching, and connecting. Each of you played a special part in this journey, and I carry deep gratitude for the support you showed as RISE: Living Life Over Cancer made its way into the world.
Thankful for the Journey
2025 was filled with moments that lifted my heart. Thank you to everyone who supported me through the writing and launch of RISE: Living Life Over Cancer. Your messages, encouragement, and presence at signings and events carried me through this meaningful year.
I am grateful to those who joined me in workshops, wellness sessions, and keynotes. Each gathering brought connection, courage, and hope. Your willingness to reflect, learn, and rise into healthier ways of living has been truly inspiring.
As the year comes to a close, I am especially blessed to celebrate the birth of my grandson. Holding him, singing to him, and watching him settle into our family has filled this season with joy, love, and a sense of renewal.
Thank you for walking beside me. I look forward to rising with you again in 2026.
