As 2024 comes to a close, I would like to say goodbye to this incredible year and embrace 2025 by sharing a short memory from 2024.
2024 has been a year full of experiences and adventures. Among the many, one of the most unforgettable was a week in Hawaii 🏝️, between my MDRT TOT Annual Meeting and my Mexico MDRT Day speech (so grateful to MDRT 🙏). With just one week to spare, I decided to make it an adventure—and what an adventure it was!
I traveled alone, something many people don’t realize is an incredible gift, because if you want to truly hear your own voice, you will need to spend time with yourself. Alone.
So often, our minds dwell in the past or race toward the future, but rarely do we sit in the present moment 🌟.
I chose not to plan this trip. We already have so many schedules filling our calendars… I remember checking out of my hotel, sitting in the lobby, and realizing I needed to decide where to fly next before heading to Mexico. I booked a flight to Maui and reserved a hotel room right at the airport. How did it feel to step into the unknown? It was indeed something new and uncomfortable—but life always finds a way to arrange things.
I arrived on the island with no set plans, but without asking him, my Uber driver handed me three maps and shared amazing tips for my whole stay. I drove along the Hana Highway (and even figured out how to fuel up in the USA—haha!) but had to turn back halfway. Still, it was the most beautiful road I’ve ever driven.
One day, I returned to my apartment to find the door open—a little scary, but nothing disappeared. I was late for a Sunset Sailing Trip, but the waves that evening were calm 🌊 for the first time. Finally, I was able to swim in the ocean and watch a breathtaking sunset from the beach 🌅.
Spending time alone gave me the space to truly listen to myself. It’s in these moments you realize what no longer serves you, what you truly want to change, and who you want to become.
2025, I can’t wait to transform and fulfill all my dreams and plans! I wish the same for everyone—may this new year bring you growth, joy, and fulfillment. 💫
