A week in…2025

It has been a week into 2025 and it has been quiet. Not much fanfare welcoming 2025 as I was sick and we were up in the Dolomites mountains freezing our asses off welcoming the new year. We literally just left the hotel and made our way to the town centre piazza at Campitello about 20 minutes before and by 20 minutes later we were back in our rooms and under the covers. Quite a contrast to last years’ new year celebrations where we were in Slovenia holed up in our room as it was raining cats and dogs out. It was also too cold and not worth getting ourselves all drenched just for a 10 minutes welcome of the new year.

So far, for me 2025 is going to be one of the best year yet. Not only do I believe so, I know so. Also, I am manifesting for it to be one of the best yet and out of this world amazing year. For manifesting to work I also need to have it written down in black and white and reminding myself daily like a mantra. Sending the vibes out to the universe and wait for it to come back to me with an answer.

I also always think it is more of a mind over matter thing. Which is why I believe it is and will be a great year. I have always felt that I am lucky and have been blessed in my life. Being a mostly positive person, sure helps matters. Even the worst year in recent times, definitely referring to the dreaded COVID-19 times, I felt that it was a blessing in disguise in many ways. Of course, financially it wasn’t a great year or even a good few years after but what came out of that time for me personally was a moment of discovery and personal growth that otherwise wouldn’t have happened.

Planning on continuing the journey on personal growth, I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for me. With the few things that we have already planned, I believe it is going to be one hell of a ride and I am going to enjoy riding the wave of 2025!

Happy New Year to you peeps and sending you positive vibes for a great 2025!!

Toodeloos!

A Tribute To Genoa

This video was sent to me in a WhatsApp group. I couldn’t help but tear up when I was listening to this. *Sniff*

Genoa is genuinely crippled by this disaster. The city is literally divided in 2. So many areas are closed and so many families have been evacuated and so many businesses affected. Even giants like IKEA are feeling the pinch in just 20 days from the collapse of the bridge. You can only imagine the damage to smaller businesses.

Some big companies had to layoff or rather suspend some personnel indefinitely as well some parts of their building is right underneath the bridge so it is not safe for them to work.

Now the city is also at almost a standstill especially during peak hours as traffic that usually passes by the city via the highway has now got to go through the city and back onto the highway. Good thing is that highway is free for now. Even the Telco companies are waiving this month’s bill in solidarity to businesses within the vicinity of the bridge. Our business is one of them.

Some places are so dead…it is disconcerting and sad.

I hope we bounce back soon. I hope that the displaced families will have everything sorted before winter comes.

I ❤️ Genoa!!
