When Mama and I first visited the building, we found a family of cats already settling in. The place is pet-friendly and community cats-friendly. 😻 There's a woman who gives them food. Maybe she also gave them their name tags.

This was from last year, when I was not yet busy with work. I took time to go on relaxing and calming walks. When the new job came in, I struggled to balance the personal and professional activities.

We had some coaching lessons which enlightened me:

• It's not just that I am over-working. I am passionate about the work I do. Nobody's forcing me to do these things.
• My friend Justin once said that I should make time for the things I love. That still stands true. Earlier in 2025, I was able to catch up on the creative passion projects that I was not able to do in the last few years. Given the major change in having new work (new schedule, new environment), I had difficulties adjusting. I gave most of my time to work again.

It is a privilege to be overwhelmed by new opportunities I prayed for. I am truly grateful. But if there's one major lesson that God taught me in the past two years, it is to slow down and trust Him. Refrain from overthinking; just do it. God will align me to His Will and redirect me as needed. God will provide for my needs because He is loving and merciful.

This year, I am going to be still and know that He is God. Expect more mini adventures. ♥️
