Happy New Year 2025

Happy New Year!

I am finally posting on the blog and hope to be more consistent about it moving forward. Back in November, I impulsively created this blog and have since realized just how much I have to learn about websites, creating content, determining posting frequency, and improving my photography skills. Who knew this would be such a complex endeavor? (Actually, I did—which is probably why it has taken me so long to get started!)

Right now, I have a small list of ideas for posts and hope to build momentum from there. This blog is a way for me to stay productive and learn new skills while navigating unemployment. I’m trying to approach it as a growth opportunity rather than just a distraction from the monotony of job searching.

Here are some things I’m looking forward to in 2025:

1. Exploring New Restaurants: I’m eager to try out some of the amazing eateries in my area and share my experiences with you. Food has always been a passion of mine, and I’m excited to document these culinary adventures.

2. Traveling: I’m hoping to plan some trips this year—whether close to home or far away—and capture those memories to share here. Travel has a way of inspiring creativity and broadening perspectives, and I can’t wait to dive in.

3. Hosting Friends: I realized recently that many of my friends have never visited my home. I bought my place in 2021, and somehow, 4 years have flown by in the blink of an eye! This year, I want to be intentional about inviting people over, cooking for them, and making memories in my space.

I’m excited to see where this year takes me and this blog. Thank you for being here as I learn, experiment, and share along the way. Cheers to new beginnings and a year full of growth, connection, and creativity!
