It typically occurs in January when we have a clean slate ahead of us, revealing countless possibilities. We envision all the goals we can achieve, the changes we can implement, and the standards we can aspire to. However, life can throw unexpected events our way—perhaps a simple day-long power outage or something more significant, like the loss of a loved one. Suddenly, we feel the burden of being derailed, the frustration of needing to adjust our timelines, and, at times, we may even give up.

Yet, the beautiful aspect of life is that we always have the opportunity to begin anew. As long as we are here on this earth, we can restart.

That’s my intention in this space: to start writing again, to share more, and to articulate the experiences we encounter in life.

I am excited to reconnect through this medium. Why? Because I believe that by sharing our experiences, thoughts, and questions, we draw ourselves closer to one another. If there’s one thing we all need, it’s the reminder that we can always start over.
