Before we dive in, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for rocking with this column all year long — for reading, sharing, reflecting, and letting these little monthly edits become part of your rhythm. Creating Elevate & Illuminate has been one of my greatest joys, and knowing you return each month to journey with me means more than words can hold. As we close out 2025 together, I hope this final edit feels like a soft exhale, a gentle celebration, and a reminder that you are never walking your path alone.
