Day 301 of 2025- A Bit Excited

 Hi Friends,

Yesterday I was thinking about how there are only 65 days left in the year and today, that number feels completely different. Instead of pressure, I’m feeling excitement. Because 65 days doesn’t just mean the year is winding down… it also means the best parts are coming up.

The cozy months. The lights. The get-togethers. The food that tastes better because it’s shared. The quiet mornings that feel slower. The reflection that comes more naturally when everything outside starts to pause, too.

There’s something about this stretch of the year that shifts the mood. It’s not about sprinting to the finish line it’s about leaning into warmth, laughter, and celebration. About remembering that joy isn’t something we have to earn; it’s something we can let in, right now.

So yes, there are 65 days left but that also means 65 chances to make a memory, to reconnect, to rest, to have fun.

Because if the year’s going to fly by, we might as well fill the days with the people and moments that make it worth remembering.

What are you most looking forward to in these final 65 days the pause, the people, or the celebration?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 300 of 2025- 65 Days

 Hi Friends,

Today marks day 300 of 365 which means there are just 65 days left in the year. Every time I say that number out loud, I feel a mix of awe and urgency. How did we get here so fast?

If I’m honest, I’m feeling a bit nervous. There’s still so much I want to do projects to complete, habits to strengthen, time I want to spend with people who matter. It’s easy to look at the calendar and feel like there’s not enough time. But then I remind myself: 65 days is still plenty of time to create meaning, to follow through, and to end the year feeling proud of how I showed up.

These last two months are a chance to be intentional, not just about finishing strong, but about finishing well. About moving with purpose instead of panic. About resting when needed, and being fully present for the moments that will soon become memories.

So here are a few questions I’m holding:

• What do I want the final 65 days to feel like?

• What would make me proud to say I did this year?

• What joy, connection, or rest do I want to make room for?

The clock is moving, yes but there’s still time to make it count.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 299 of 2025-Recharged

 Hi Friends,

Woke up today feeling tired and sluggish one of those mornings where I almost talked myself out of going to the gym. But an hour later, everything felt different. My body woke up, my mind cleared, and my whole energy shifted.

It’s wild how showing up, even when you don’t feel like it, can change the tone of your day. Sometimes momentum creates motivation not the other way around.

What’s one small thing that reliably shifts your energy when you’re running on empty?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 298 of 2025- Feeling Recharged

 Hi Friends,

I spent time today with old friends and a few new ones and left feeling completely recharged. There’s something about being around people who see you, who make you laugh, who remind you that connection isn’t complicated. It’s just real.

It struck me how energizing good company can be. You don’t have to perform, prove, or polish anything. You can just be and somehow that’s enough.

Maybe that’s what we all need more of: spaces and people that lift us up without asking us to be anyone but ourselves.

Who in your life leaves you feeling lighter after you’ve spent time together?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 297 of 2025- Work Of Art

 Hi Friends,

I keep thinking about the phrase “work of art” from Camus’s quote that I shared yesterday. As I transition into a new role, learning new responsibilities and meeting new people, I find myself wondering how can I view this as a work of art? I want my work to shine, to make an impact, and for this transition to unfold smoothly. But maybe that’s exactly what makes it art, the process, not the perfection.

Starting over, in any role or at any stage, is truly a creative act. It takes patience, courage, and a willingness to embrace the unknown. Every mistake, every small win, every moment of doubt, they’re all brushstrokes on the canvas of becoming.

So here’s to the art of starting again to learning, evolving, and finding beauty in the unfinished.

How can you see your own season of change as a work of art in progress?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 296 of 2025- Thursday Transition Motivation

 Hi Friends,

Albert Camus once said, "It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about." I love this reminder that living isn't something to rush through. We spend so much energy chasing goals, ticking boxes, and trying to "get somewhere," that we forget life itself is the art we're creating.

Yesterday, I shared about stepping into my new role, the nerves, the excitement, the swirl of emotions that come with any big transition. And today, Camus's words feel like the perfect companion to that vulnerability. Because here's what I know from experience: transitions are messy. They're uncertain. And they take time.

Life needs pauses, reflection, and intention. You can't rush and expect beauty. The same is true for career shifts, new responsibilities, and personal growth. I can't expect to have all the answers on day one and that's okay. As a CSO, I've learned that confidence isn't about knowing everything; it's about trusting the process and giving yourself permission to evolve.

So if you're in transition too starting something new, navigating uncertainty, or simply trying to figure out your next move, remember this: you're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be. Living well means slowing down enough to notice your own story unfolding, to think, feel, and truly be present, even when it's uncomfortable.

Take a moment today to breathe, to think, and to appreciate the masterpiece you're quietly building. Life isn't a sprint to the end, it's a work of art in progress. And sometimes, the most beautiful parts are the ones we didn't plan.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 295 of 2025- Navigating The Transition

 Hi Friends,

Yesterday, I wrote about how I’ve been feeling with the change in my job, and as the days get closer to my actual move, I can already sense more emotions surfacing. It’s completely natural to feel a mix of excitement, anxiety, and uncertainty before starting something new and I want to normalize that.

I know it will be okay. Once I settle into the role, I’ll find my rhythm, learn the ins and outs, and create systems that make my work flow more smoothly. One thing I’ve learned as a leader and CSO is that you can trust yourself to manage, adapt, and grow through change.

As I transition, I’m also allowing myself to dream about new possibilities and take some time to do what truly brings me joy.

Here’s to embracing change, trusting the process, and giving ourselves grace along the way.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
