"A New Year of Hope, Dreams, and Courage"

I recently came across Neil Gaiman’s New Year’s wishes, and I couldn’t have found better words. 

As Mr. Husband calls it just another day, the turn of the calendar does bring a fresh set of wishes, dreams, hopes, apprehensions, and concerns.


2024 has been a truly unique year. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions and experiences. It has been one of growth and loss, learning, and moving forward.

Amma left us in just two days, and her absence feels like an ever-growing void. Yet, amidst this grief, I find peace and fulfillment. My work in special needs world has been valued and recognized in ways that reaffirm my purpose and passion.


As we step into this new year, I wish for everyone a spark of hope and the courage to dream big. I wish for moments of joyful craziness and happy madness. I hope you find the right words to express yourself, even when it feels difficult.


May everyone find people who truly understand, respect, and love them for who they are. I wish for everyone to have someone who walks beside them, holds their hand, and dreams with them—someone who fuels your fire, laughs at your silly jokes, find melody in your tunes, trusts in your instincts, believes in your aspirations, supports you in turning those dreams into reality and walks into fire for you and climbs the hills to be with you.


May you find the strength to chase after what truly matters, the courage to leave behind the pain of the past, and the resilience to move forward toward a brighter, better tomorrow.


Here’s to hope, dreams, and the courage to live them fully. If you feel alone please know you are being seen.

As I wrap up my first day of 2025, I am determined to follow some routine and structure, tried some today. Including having dinner with my first support system.having friends over was such a great start of the new year. I cleaned the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher and now time to call it a day.
