As the year draws to a close, I feel a natural invitation to reflect on the months that have passed. Not to plan ahead just yet, not to set intentions or make lists, but simply to look back with softness. To notice what this year asked of me, what it gave me, and what it quietly taught me along the way.
Much of this year revolved around The Guide. I worked toward its launch for months, and in September it finally stepped into the world. Writing a book is an intimate process; releasing it is an act of trust. Celebrating its arrival with beautiful lunches in Paris, London, Düsseldorf, and Amsterdam felt both grounding and surreal. Moments of connection, presence, and deep gratitude. The response to The Guide has truly been the cherry on top, and I am incredibly grateful to be able to inspire so many women with my photography and words.
In July, I turned 50. A number that carries weight, not because it marks an ending, but because it deepens perspective. It invited me to reflect on time, how quickly it moves, how precious it is, and how important it feels to live consciously. Less rushing forward, more arriving fully where I am. Honestly, time has flown by. Especially the years between 40 and 50. There are moments when it feels like I was 25 just yesterday, and at the same time, it often feels like a lifetime ago.
