I learned last week that this is the year of the horse. To really appreciate this, you have to know that 2025 was the year of the snake. Last year was a year of shedding. I don’t know about you, but I did a lot of shedding. I learned a lot about why I am the way I am, I was curious, and I shed many past hurts.

I am now ready for the year of the horse. This is the year for independence and social expression. This is the year for us to figure out what has been burning inside of us and bring it forth for the betterment of our communities.

Please do not misunderstand when I say independence. This does not always mean singledome. It can mean any myriad of things. Personally, I have had goals for over 20 years that I have never had the courage to put forth and they are coming to fruition this year (More details coming later).

When I think of a horse, I think of a strong, majestic being. This is us, moms. We have survived heartbreak, we battle every day (the kids, their fears, their struggles). We are strong. We are majestic. Put on your capes. Live up to your year. Take care of yourself so that you can be the best for those kiddos. I am here, cheering you on!
