2025 has been quite a year, eh? I have learnt and processed so much, despite having believed that my brain was full. So, I thought it fitting to dub 2025 as "Epiphany"... there has just been so much positivity and realisation; my two cents wants me to believe that it's what acquiring wisdom is. Do you think it could be so?
The last half has been a manic but positive one for me, which has resulted in an unanticipated gap in my blog. However, I miss this space. The Blockchain still and always has a dear spot in my heart, and I'm desirous of reconnecting with the tribe in the coming year, so don't be fucking strangers now, ok?
I have so much to share. My draft box has been full, sitting in limbo, but as soon as I find my rhythm, I'll dance publish them all. I promise not to bloody bore you!
Have you had the chance to reflect on the year as yet? I hope you'll do so, on both the negative and positive aspects, because that's how we learn and identify our shortcomings, as well as realise just how far you've come, despite feeling like you're treading still waters.
I'm feeling grateful and always appreciative of having the free space on the blockchain, with people from every corner of the globe, where I delight in sharing my daily nuances and life, and I'm looking forward to actively reading and learning more from you all.
... But before we bow out of 2025 (the year of the Wood Snake, of shedding old skin) into 2026 (the year of the Fire Horse, where I hope to grow in all aspects of my life), I leave these five virtues (my moral compass), which I trust will have a positive impact on your lives throughout 2026 and beyond.
Wisdom to know your path
Benevolence to lead with a kind heart
Sincerity to stay true to your spirit
Courage to embrace the new
Patience to let your energy bloom in its own time
As I said, 2025 was a year of epiphany – where the more I learnt, the more I felt like I knew nothing, and it gave me inspiration to keep exploring different avenues and the courage to detour from places and things that no longer aligned. An epiphany of connecting dots and solving life puzzles that subconsciously shaped me... back to my authentic self.
I don't do resolutions, but I think it's a good idea to set your "intention" for 2026, and I'm keen to know what's leading you.
I find myself leaning into "patience", dismissing the "giddy-up" mindset, because it's the virtue that allows the best things to grow at their own pace, and I'm going to need a lot of it for some projects that I'm working on for 2026 and beyond.
Happy New Year, 2026!
Irie Love!
Milly ❤️

Dear Milly! Happy New Year to you. You're one of the last people I'm writing to in 2025, but I'm glad it's you, especially because of the reflection you wrote, which perfectly matches my feelings. Yes, Epiphany would be the name for 2025. I don't know if it's because of my age or my experiences, but I had a rebirth, and I'm at peace with myself, even though December was a little crazy. I've made progress with the first four virtues you share here, and I think for the new year I need to practice patience; it seems that's where I tend to stumble over the same obstacle. I hope to read you more often when you have a chance to return. I always find inspiration on your blog. Hugs!!!

Hey Jesus!
Wow! It's so good to hear you owning your power. I think that when we put a lot of work into ourselves, it's only right to take a moment and personally acknowledge and thank ourselves for believing in ourselves.
Those are strong virtues that I close my Qigong practice with. Each holds merit, and you'll be even stronger once you exercise patience with yourself and trust the timing. We all want to see results and sometimes miss out on the little things that really add to our overall growth.
I'm pleased you find value in my blogs, and it's great to be back here.
All the best for 2026!
Hey @millycf1976 friend!😀👋 It's so good to hear from you! 🙏... Beautiful post, very thoughtful and full of good vibes!... My "intention" for 2026 is "discipline" because I think I'm very disorganized in my life routines! 🤷♂ I hope I can overcome that!... I send my best wishes to you and those around you in this new year!... I'll be waiting for you here on #Hive ♦️ with all that new stuff you have in drafts! 😀👍

Hello, Jesus! Thanks for the warm welcome.
Wow! That's a powerful one to not only identify as lacking but also take on.
Somehow, that's an innate strength of mine, and I can be quite a disciplinarian too, when the need arises. 🙃
You are soulful, so I don't think that it will be too difficult a virtue for you to implement in your daily life.
I wish you and the ones around you a lovely new year.
... and yes, I'll try to stay on top of my blog and, moreover, catch up with others in this space. 😄
This really speaks to me. “Epiphany” is a great name for 2025. It sounds like a year of real growth and learning. I love the virtues you shared, especially patience. I am glad you are back, welcome back, your space is still here, and I’m glad you’re returning with full energy.
Thank you for the warm welcome. It's great to be back. I've never had a specific schedule or done frequent posting because I go with where my energy takes me. However, I won't wait so long to check in again.
This is a big compliment that I'll reflect on throughout the year, to use as an anchor when navigating through low-energy periods.
Wishing you a lovely start to the new year and a great year ahead. :)
beautifully said !LADY
I love your focus on intention over resolution, especially patience. It’s something I’m also leaning into after years of rushing my own timelines.
Goodluck!
Wow, Jane! Thank you for your beautiful message.
You made me smile.
