2025 was a difficult year in many ways. But it also had its bright spots. I am grateful for what I managed to accomplish, and the support and connections I had along the way. I'm very glad to be done with school, excited to have finally launched my first hiking patch program, and happiest to have made some progress on my land.
I really have no idea what 2026 has in store. All I can do is try to navigate the changes as they come, while focusing on new goals.
