My end of year reflections

Another year has slipped by, seeming to move even faster than the last—a sensation I distinctly remember pondering this time last year.

Though rapid, the passage of time prompts me to reflect deeply on my life and set intentions.

What truly matters to me? What do I want? How can I simplify my life to focus on what is most precious? How can I make the most of these fleeting moments I’ve been gifted?

This year has been one of deep lessons and growth. I’ve learned to value my health and care for myself in more intentional ways—discovering what works for me in terms of diet and exercise.

I’ve embraced the power of saying “no” to people and experiences that don’t align with where I am right now and, just as importantly, saying “yes” to new opportunities and new relationships.

I’ve created something from nothing, spoken up even when it was hard, allowed myself to cry openly in the presence of others, and supported others in their grief—without trying to change or fix anything.

Of course, growth isn’t linear. I’ve noticed myself slipping into old patterns, like making rushed decisions without checking in with myself, looking for answers outside of me, saying things when I was emotional, feeling responsible and wanting to help others when they are going through challenges. But I’m learning, we all make mistakes and learn from them and life- much like a flower, unfolds in its own time. If we force the petals to open before they’re ready, the flower loses its strength and beauty. Similarly, I’m learning to trust the natural timing of my own journey and those of others.

A significant facet of my journey has been reflecting on my spiritual path and understanding how my work as a tantric masseuse intertwines with it. Moments of questioning have led to moments of clarity, thanks to the beautiful souls in my life whose support I cherish. As layers of outdated belief peel away—some still clinging stubbornly—I find myself reconnecting with a profound sense of faith and trust. This personal connection is now aligned with my body, mind, and heart, bringing me closer to something higher, beyond comprehension, yet deeply right. My commitment to my work has never been stronger.

I've experienced out of this world moments of pure connection within my sessions or outside, feeling the pure joy of raw human interactions. I felt like a child rediscovering the world with innocence and wonder, like a princes dancing in a ball room, like a queen totally aware of her power and strenght, like a mother to my lovely pets, like a trusted friend, opening myself more to be seen and felt. I felt more like myself than the year before and I hope more is to unfold and discover within myself and as a part of the Universe.

As I reflect on this year, I feel a deep sense of gratitude. I see how much wisdom and depth these experiences have brought into my life and my work as a tantric masseuse. The more I understand the complexities of human experiences and emotions within myself, the more I can meet others with presence, love, and kindness.

Wishing you a beautiful festive season—may you spend it in a way that feels true to you.

With love,
