As the holiday season sparkles around us, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, healthy New Year!
This season carries a little extra meaning. Earlier this week marked the first anniversary of my dad’s passing, just three short months after mom’s, and while last Christmas was a blur of shock and numbness, this year I feel something different. Gratitude. Presence. Love in abundance.
I feel my parents close this season through the memories they gave us. Music around the piano, carols and church services, long fireside conversations, gathering with friends and family, tables full of food, laughter, and connection. Christmas was something they made magical, and that spirit lives on.
I’m also quietly celebrating a professional milestone. This month marks six years since I passed my licensing exam, and I’m about to step into my seventh year as a fully licensed REALTOR®. When I include my earlier years assisting the team, I’ve been in this industry for nearly a decade. This year also marks ten years since I came home to Vancouver Island, something I’m deeply grateful for.
So here’s a toast to the season. To home, to connection, to love in abundance, and to a bright 2026! 🍷
