13, 14 & 20. But most of all, 24. I hope I can remember this, to live this.

Thank you, Rohini. And wishing you a magical, kind, hope-filled 2025.

Love these, Rohini! Resonating so hard with 4, 9, and 14. I am definitely going to do my own version. <3

Thank you for this list. So much resonates, esp. 1, 3, 12 & 15. And I'm going to try 21 this year :) Have a wonderful, creative year ahead!

That was a good list, thank you.

I cannot seem to be able to upgrade to the paid subscription for you. Have done it with others on here. Any advice?

Nice to see you again Rohini. I recently advised a friend to “embrace vulnerability”. It makes you stronger. I prefer it to “fragility”.

But you are of so right about grief and loss. You can’t outrun it. After I lost my dear wife to years of suffering with cancer, at the end of my first session with my wonderful grief counselor, she simply said “Irwin. We can defeat nature.” As Robert Frost said—“The only way out is through.”
