I posted this before my birthday last February 11th, 2025.
Sharing it here for memories…..

As I sit here writing this, I realize that today is the last day of my 52nd year—mamaya lang, 53 na ako! 🤣 Time truly flies, and looking back, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for everything that has happened over the past year.

No joke, this year has been nothing short of amazing. There have been countless blessings, unforgettable moments with family and friends, and new opportunities that have pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined. Of course, there were also some not-so-good moments, but that’s life! We take the highs with the lows, learn from the setbacks, and keep moving forward.

A Year of Learning, Growth, and New Beginnings

One of the biggest highlights of my 52nd year was how much I learned and grew. I embraced new knowledge like never before—diving into ChatGPT, Doorloop, Odoo, and so many other platforms that helped me improve both personally and professionally.

I also took a big step in my career by joining The Freelance Movement Tribe, where I met some of the most incredible bookkeepers and entrepreneurs who share the same passion as me. This community has been a game-changer, giving me fresh insights, support, and motivation to keep pushing forward.

This year, I have:
✔️ Learned a lot
✔️ Earned a lot

✔️ Shared a lot
✔️ Lost a lot, too

But through it all, I held onto one truth—I will never stop until God says it’s time to rest.

Love, Purpose, and God’s Grace

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned this year is the power of giving. My love, Bong, has taught me to give more, and I’ve realized that the more I give, the more doors open. It’s a beautiful cycle of kindness, abundance, and purpose, and I truly believe Papa God continues to bless me (us) because of it.

Looking at my children, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and gratitude. They have grown into such wonderful, independent, and kind-hearted individuals. As a mother, what more could I ask for? I must have done something right to see them thrive.

And maybe I must have done something right, too, to deserve the love I have in my life today. ❤️

Life Isn’t Perfect, But It’s Beautiful

Of course, life isn’t perfect. There will always be challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But one thing I have learned is that as long as we have faith, love, and the right people beside us, everything will always work out in the end. 😍

As I step into 53, I do so with a grateful heart—for the lessons, the love, the experiences, and the people who have made this journey so fulfilling. Most of all, I thank Papa God for His continuous guidance, provision, and love.

So here’s to another year of growth, resilience, love, and blessings! Thank You, Lord, for everything. 🙏
