This morning, I received a call that made my heart sink. My evening client—someone who had become more like family—was admitted to the hospital. His body is rejecting his second stem cell transplant, and the outlook is grim.

I was scrolling through social media the other day when I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks. It said:

Last night, as I was driving home alone, a realization hit me—I had been reparenting myself earlier in the evening.

I might be the only weird one who finds comfort in astrology, but honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me. Until this past year, I had no idea how much insight my birth chart could provide. I always thought astrology was just about sun signs and daily horoscopes—fun but not necessarily deep. But once I started diving into my birth chart, I realized it could actually help me understand and process the lessons and challenges life throws my way.

Life has a way of teaching us lessons, whether we’re ready for them or not. Recently, I found myself asking the universe for clarity. With all the challenges I’ve been facing, I felt like I was missing the lesson buried within them. I needed direction—something I could grasp to make sense of the chaos.

Sometimes, we don’t realize what we’re missing until we finally have it. For so much of my life, I felt like I was navigating the world alone. I grew up surrounded by people, but no one who truly understood me—not the way I longed for. I dreamed of having a sister, someone I could confide in, lean on, and call my own. It wasn’t until years later that life gave me something even better than I had imagined: the sister I had always needed.

What Was My Breaking Point?

As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on all that I’ve accomplished in 2024. While the milestones I’ve reached might not seem monumental to everyone, they represent years of struggle, perseverance, and healing for me. This has been a year of reclaiming my independence, finding peace, and learning to thrive after enduring so much.
