Yesterday, we gathered at the Pasadena Senior Center for a joyful walk filled with connection, encouragement, and movement.
These moments remind us how powerful it is to come together in a safe, non-judgmental space where women can support one another and enjoy being active—together.
Our meetups are about more than walking. They’re about building confidence, creating friendships, and taking time for yourself in a welcoming community of women.

As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself filled with deep gratitude and quiet pride. This year was one of steady growth, meaningful connection, and moments—both large and small—that reminded me why service, community, and lifelong learning matter so much to me.
Throughout 2025, I was blessed with the opportunity to stay active and engaged—physically, intellectually, and socially. From leading and supporting our walking communities, to welcoming new faces and strengthening long-standing friendships, each gathering reinforced the power of showing up for one another. Movement was more than exercise this year; it was a shared commitment to health, resilience, and joy.
I was also honored to continue serving in civic and heritage-focused organizations, contributing my time and energy in ways that felt both purposeful and deeply personal. Whether assisting at events, supporting committees, or celebrating our shared history, these experiences reminded me how important it is to give back and preserve what connects us.
Creatively and personally, 2025 allowed space for reflection and expression. Through writing, storytelling, and documenting milestones, I was able to look back on how far the journey has come—from my lifelong love of reading to my professional path and community leadership. Each chapter continues to build on the last.
Most of all, 2025 reaffirmed something I hold close: gratitude transforms effort into meaning. I am thankful for the people who walked beside me, encouraged me, inspired me, and trusted me to lead and serve.
Here’s to honoring the past year—and embracing all that lies ahead.
As I step into 2026, I do so with optimism, purpose, and an open heart. I look forward to new opportunities, continued growth, and more moments that remind us how powerful community, kindness, and commitment truly are.
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and hope turns each new year into possibility.”
As I look back on 2025, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all that this year brought — the miles, the memories, the challenges, and the triumphs. Running continues to be one of my greatest teachers, reminding me daily of the power of persistence, community, and belief in what’s possible at every stage of life.
This year was filled with special highlights that I will carry with me for a long time. Competing in the 2025 Des Moines, Iowa Senior Olympics was a true honor, as was participating in other Senior Olympic events that celebrate strength, longevity, and fearless movement. Each race was a reminder that age is not a limitation — it’s a badge of experience and resilience.
Another unforgettable moment was the Every Woman’s Marathon in Scottsdale, Arizona. Being surrounded by so many determined, inspiring women was incredibly uplifting. The energy, encouragement, and shared purpose made every step meaningful and reaffirmed why I love this sport so deeply.
One of the most affirming moments of the year came in a quieter way — seeing my Adidas year-end recap, which captured the consistency, dedication, and accomplishments that often pass unnoticed in the day-to-day grind. It was a powerful reminder that showing up matters, and that all those early mornings and steady miles add up.
Like any meaningful journey, this year wasn’t without its challenges. Dealing with a locked-up right glute and hip tested my patience and resolve, but I’m grateful to say I’m feeling better, stronger, and back to running my daily 10K. Healing reminded me to listen to my body, honor rest when needed, and trust the process.
As I look ahead to 2026, I do so with excitement, optimism, and an open heart. I’m thankful for the ability to run, for the community that supports and inspires me, and for the opportunity to keep moving forward — one step, one mile, one year at a time.
Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May it be filled with movement, courage, and joy
