Happy New Year!
For those who aren't subscribed to my newsletters, I've decided I don't want you to miss out on my musings and although the special offers, pictures and some other insights remain for those who receive my email, I'd love to still keep you in the loop.
I know for most of the people I spoke to, last year was a year of change, pressure and pushing forward to get through the year. I know my 2025 was filled with change, some good, none bad but certainly different. The older I get the more I realise that things do happen for a reason and the tapestry of life is woven by chance encounters, taking the wrong turn but ending up in the place you need to be. To be fair, it's hard to see it or reflect while you're in the flux of change.
In October I moved to South Australia to complete a portion of my study and have been calling it home since. Now don't get me wrong, there have been teething issues and they centre around missing my friends and the vibrant city that doesn't require you to plan ahead like Adelaide does. On the other hand, I have been enjoying the downtime of a slower city and having even easier access to nature - I love being amongst the trees and flowers. I guess it's duality or learning balance but i'm feeling calmer and more connected than ever.
Another joyous thing about 2025 has been meeting more peers and getting the chance to become better friends with them.
So how would I Sum up 2025?
In my work life....
I dub 2025 the year of the threesome! Well, perhaps more accurately 2025 the year of group sex, as it was certainly full of more than 3 people in the bedroom at multiple times.
In my personal life....
2025 was the year of change, calmness and becoming more centred. I've become more organised and reduced consumption of social media which has resulted in me being more present in all areas of my life.
What will 2026 bring?
From it being only 5 days in, I see it being the year of travel, focus, goal achieving and lots more sensual and fun encounters (I hope you'll be one of them!).
I already have many overseas travel plans and before the end of June (if world politics allows) I will have visited 6 countries, 4 of them new. Now if you don't know me yet, I love travelling, meeting new people and learning about different cultures and ways of life. I always have an open heart and curiosity to soak in as much as possible.
Highlights of 2025

Final thoughts...
All in all, I hope 2026 brings you the things you need. I hope you can take some time out to reflect on all of the things you've done in 2025 and the years prior and be proud of how you're doing and what you've achieved and the progress you're making.
Till next time, kisses,
Genevieve
