2025 is here, and boy, what a letdown! But hey, the anxiety it stirs up might just steal the spotlight from all that disappointment! I've heard that depression stems from worrying about the past, while stress arises from concerns about the future. I promise you, the pressure's as real as your morning coffee! If someone insists, they're cool as a cucumber, don’t buy it; the thoughts definitely popped into their heads! I've always thought of time as that elusive treasure you can never get back—once it's gone, poof!
My New Year’s Day plans were disrupted by tragic news from my hometown, New Orleans. The shock felt overwhelming, and I struggled to breathe upon hearing the details. After watching the footage, I went to bed, only feeling relief when I confirmed my loved ones were safe. It's astonishing and surreal that such a tragedy occurred where I could have been close to the disaster, leaving me in shock.

As if life wasn't already a wild rollercoaster, here comes another twist: the California Fires on January 7, 2025! We all saw it unfold, and it hit home for me because my brothers, you may know them from the 90's New Jack Swing Era, The Real Seduction live right in the thick of it. Talk about a personal front-row seat to chaos! My heart's doing the cha-cha, and not in a good way. They’re dancing dangerously close to those flames but, phew, not in them! It’s a double whammy of worry since they’re twins—double the shenanigans, double the heartbeats, and definitely double the heart-stopping moments!
That was just the kickoff week! Then, bam! A snow blizzard decided to crash the party in Louisiana. Talk about a winter wonderland! We rarely see snow, so you can imagine the joyful chaos that ensued. Spoiler alert: we were total snow newbies! It was chilly and a blast, especially for Marley, my pup, who frolicked like a snow-loving pro. After weeks of recovering from the snowstorm madness, I'm finally back on track and pumped for this year's triumphs. Oh, and just so you know, winter and I are not on speaking terms!
