My Wanderluster Intro

Hello, loves!

So happy you are here.  I hope you enjoy reading my content

Meet Cathy

As the sun sets on 2024, I can’t help but reflect on the journey this past year brought me. It was a year filled with moments of joy, growth, and challenges that shaped me in unexpected ways. 🌟

The Good:
2024 was a year of gratitude—treasured moments with family, adventures that broadened our horizons, and new connections that added meaning to my days. 2024 was definitely a year of transitions. I closed one business, moved into a new house and my 2nd born left for his freshman year in college. This is such a blessing and I am so proud of him, which has my mama heart both exploding with joy and breaking with sadness. When transitions with my kids come to pass, it makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Happy in the human they are becoming. Happy in the adventures that await them. Happy in knowing that I raised them to be independent enough to leave the nest and fly on their own. But then my heart breaks a little to know that it is another life transition and another new normal we have to get used to. They will not be under my roof for dinner every night or in their room at home every night. But I do know they will call me everyday! I love my relationship with my children and so proud of each and every one of them in every stage of their lives.

The Challenges:
No year comes without its hurdles, and 2024 was no exception. There were moments that tested my patience, pushed me to reassess, and reminded me of the strength I hold. These challenges became lessons, and for that, I’m grateful. It’s always challenging when life throws you curveballs that you are not prepared to hit. A lot of challenges in health, career, finances and more. As I look back on the challenges of 2024, I am trying to see the ways that it has pushed me forward and look at the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Most of the time, challenges are ways to push you out of your comfort zone, wake you up so that you can reevaluate yourself, situation etc. To that I’m thankful for challenges and for having the positive attitude to work through them.

I look forward to all of experiences 2025 will bring. Above all, I want to make my open to opportunities and things that come my way. Spend as much time with family as I can together and experience new adventures together.

Looking Ahead to 2025:
This year, I want to:
✨ Manifest abundance in all forms—love, health, creativity, and opportunities.
✨ Push beyond my comfort zone, embrace change, and take risks worth taking.
✨ Explore more places with my family, learning and growing together.
✨ Say “yes” to experiences that inspire wonder and leave us with stories to tell.
✨ Prioritize growth—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Here’s to a year of learning, living, and loving boldly. May 2025 bring all of us peace, purpose, and a little bit of magic! 🌍💫
