It’s time to wrap up the year. Some great experiences made 2025 really special. It’s going to be a tough one to say good-bye to. Luckily, I got to make beautiful memories with the people I love, and this entry is a testament to everything that left a mark.
Here’s my 20 things:
- The miracle that it is to see my son grow. This year he started pre-school!
- Seeing my husband accomplish great things in many ways.
- Hello Meteor. This musician composes ethereal songs. You may close your eyes while listening and find yourself in another dimension. Here’s a playlist I made in case you’re curious.
- Finally putting all the links of the content I create on linktree. Something that stood out this particular year: I’ve talked more openly about my book on TikTok.
- Reading Leviathan by Paul Auster. I can’t believe I had not read this author before.
- Janet Jackson’s music. Simply. Mindblowing. Also, realizing that I’ve loved Fleetwood Mac’s music all my life. The album “Rumours” is one of my favourites now.
- Travelling to Victoria, BC for the first time with my family.
- Tasting the best poutine ever at Garrick’s Head Pub, in downtown Victoria, BC.
- Celebrating five years of running my e-newsletter.
- Going out more often. I got to meet a wonderful author, Samara Knight.
- Songs I didn’t know I was going to like: Out of my Body by Brain Tan. Pink + White by Frank Ocean. Hysteria by Def Leppard.
- Travelling to Seattle, Washington
- Going to Lumen Field to support the Seattle Seahawks.
- Being delighted with coffee and pastries at Storyville and Freya Bakery & Cafe in Seattle.
- Visiting Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle.
- Visiting the Funko store in Everett, Washington.
- Reading more of Isabel Allende’s work.
- Staying in contact with my best friends throughout the year.
- Coming across Bon Chic on YouTube.
- Learning that, according to the yearly Spotify wrap-up, I’m 53 years old. I’m currently 37.
