               •             Personal Development:

  • Officially received my marriage counselling certification—a journey that began 15 years ago and was finally completed this year. Despite the delay, I’m proud of this milestone.
  • Launched my marriage counselling website and had a smoother-than-expected start to this venture.

               •             Creative Pursuits:

  • Received high praise from a renowned painting mentor, who noted the soul and vitality in my portraits.

               •             Lifestyle & Self-Identity:

  • Curated a wardrobe that reflects my personal style and essence, favouring timeless elegance over fleeting trends.

Highlights & Lessons:

               •             Biggest Achievement:

Discovering consulting as my true calling. While I’m still exploring how to balance corporate, project, and personal consulting, the career shift has brought me closer to aligning my work with my purpose.

               •             Greatest Validation:

Receiving trust and recognition from clients, whether individuals or organisations, has been deeply rewarding.

               •             Gratitude:

The love and support of my family, as well as our collective health, remain my greatest blessings.

               •             Favourite Exercise:

Circuit training has become my go-to for staying fit and focused.

               •             Habits to Continue:

  • Listening to audiobooks and podcasts—a growing habit for me, a usual visual learner.
  • Journaling small, meaningful moments.
  • Continuing art and regular exercise.

               •             Biggest Realisation:

Personality and mindset shape destiny. Most people unknowingly live in repetitive patterns. We can’t truly change someone’s life unless they awaken to their own need for transformation.

I’m proud and pleasantly surprised by all that I’ve achieved in 2024. I truly hope to continue building on these successes—staying active and healthy, meeting inspiring people, and making progress on my projects in 2025. Wishing myself and all my friends abundant health, success, and happiness in the coming year!
