2024: A Year of Loss, Growth, and Cosmic Wonders

As 2024 draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year that was anything but ordinary. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, milestones, and mysteries—a year that tested me, inspired me, and left me wondering if we’re truly alone in the universe. (Spoiler alert: probably not. More on that later.)

Saying Goodbye to Cherished FriendsThis year, I lost friends to cancer—a reminder of life’s fragility and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with those we love. Each loss was a heavy blow, a void that can never truly be filled. Yet, in my grief, I’ve found gratitude for the memories we shared, the lessons they taught me, and the love they brought into my life. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of everyone they touched, including mine.

New Beginnings and Bold VenturesAmid the challenges, 2024 was also a year of new beginnings. I opened a consulting company, a dream that’s been years in the making. Aurora Spirit Consulting was born out of my passion for cultural preservation and community development. Every project has been a labor of love, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. It’s humbling to step into this new chapter, knowing that my work can make a meaningful impact.

Another Story to TellIn the midst of it all, I found time to author another book—a process that’s as cathartic as it is rewarding. Writing allows me to channel my thoughts and experiences into something tangible, something that hopefully resonates with readers. This latest work feels particularly personal, a reflection of the year’s highs and lows, and I’m excited to see how it’s received.

The Cosmic and the CuriousNow, let’s talk about the really unexpected part of 2024: the UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, for those not in the know), drones, and that eerie fog rolling across North America. It’s been a wild year for skywatchers, and I’ll admit, I’ve caught myself scanning the skies a little more often. Maybe it’s the influence of too many late-night documentaries, but I’m starting to think aliens might actually be among us.
I mean, mysterious lights? Check. Strange weather phenomena? Check. A fog so thick it feels like something out of a sci-fi movie? Triple check. If the little green men are out there, they probably find us endlessly entertaining. And honestly, who could blame them? Humans are pretty weird.

But on a serious note, these moments have reminded me of how vast and mysterious our world—and beyond—really is. There’s so much we don’t know, and that’s both humbling and thrilling.

Gratitude and HopeAs I close out this chapter, I’m profoundly grateful. This year also brought the profound joy of reconnecting with my homeland and my people in the North, deepening my connection to my roots and traditions. Grateful to be alive, to have my health, and to continue pursuing my passions. I’m thankful for the love and support of family, friends, and colleagues who’ve stood by me through it all. And while 2024 was far from easy, it was a year of growth, resilience, and hope.


Looking ahead, I’m optimistic about 2025. It’s a blank page, a new opportunity to create, connect, and continue making a difference. Whether it’s expanding my consulting company, penning another book, or simply appreciating the small joys of everyday life, I’m ready for whatever comes next.


Here’s to the FutureSo here’s to 2025: may it be a year of kindness, discovery, and maybe even a little more clarity about those mysterious lights in the sky. And if the aliens do decide to make formal contact? Well, I’ll be here, ready to offer them a cup of coffee and a warm welcome. After all, life is about embracing the unknown, isn’t it?

To everyone reading this: thank you for being part of my journey. Wishing you all a joyful, peaceful, and wonder-filled New Year.
