My Christmas was completely different from what I had imagined.
On the first day off, I woke up with a fever and two cold sores, as if it were a harbinger of things to come. And in the afternoon, I watched as the ambulance took my mom to the hospital with a heart attack. She died, but she's a fighter, and after 15 minutes and nine electric shocks, she came back to life.
That day, I realized how proud I am of our family—each of us has been through things that would make for a pretty decent dark novel. Things that other people are afraid to even read about, but we're still here, and even though we may seem fragile and seemingly incapable, we're still fighting. We keep rising from the ground like mythical phoenixes and trying to make amends for everything.
The Year of the Snake is behind us and the Year of the Horse is beginning. Well, I don't know exactly what that means, but I know that I am entering it a little more humble, grateful, and stronger. And I remind myself of André Dé Shields' principles for life:
💫 1. Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you.
It is a great blessing to live in a supportive and safe environment, surrounded by people who want to see you shine. Because only those who have experienced otherwise know how exceptional and precious it is.
💫 2. Slowly - that's the fastest way to get where you want to be.
I call it - gradual small steps. Don't expect miracles overnight. Be patient and persistent. It doesn't matter how big the steps are. The important thing is that they are there!
💫 3. The top of one mountain is the bottom of another.
Never stop dreaming and believing that everything will turn out well in the end. Just keep going on your path and remember that a goal without a plan is just a dream.
With that, I would like to wish you that your 2026 will be exactly what you want it to be.
With love,
