I know that many of you are taking this week off from the usual routines and to-dos. Perhaps you're taking stock of the past year and assessing the path you have walked. Remember that you've accomplished a lot. Even if it doesn't feel like it. Remember, you are worthy of love. You are worthy of appreciation. And are WORTHY of feeling like you've done enough. Take time for yourself and celebrate how far you've come. No matter where you are. 💜 Dessi xo

As I write this Wednesday Wisdom, I want to pause and acknowledge you—this incredible community who keeps showing up, even when it isn’t easy. I want to acknowledge you for staying open to love, connection, and growth—especially after years of being single. That takes courage. It’s not easy to keep believing when you’ve tried, dated, hoped, and been disappointed more than once. I want to acknowledge you for continuing to put yourself out there. Whether that meant online dating, coming to events, having brave conversations, or simply saying “yes” when part of you wanted to stay home, you showed up. I want to acknowledge you for the impact you’ve had on others in this community. A kind word, a shared story, a knowing smile, these things matter more than you realize. I want to acknowledge you for trying something new this year. Joining a new community. Dating again. Healing old patterns. Setting boundaries. Choosing differently. Any new step risks rejection, but you did it anyway. That’s powerful. I want to acknowledge you for letting go of something—or someone—that no longer served you. Old relationships, old beliefs, old versions of yourself. That kind of release takes bravery and self-respect. I want to acknowledge you for betting on yourself. For deciding that you are worth love, companionship, joy, and fulfillment—at any age. I want to acknowledge your uniqueness. Being fully you is not a liability in dating—it’s the whole point. I want to acknowledge that this chapter of life can be challenging. Navigating love, independence, loss, hope, and reinvention is real work. There is no “right” timeline, only the one that feels aligned for you. And finally, I want to acknowledge you for making it through 2025 with your sanity intact. It was a challenging year for many, emotionally, personally, and relationally. You’re still here. Still growing. Still open to possibility. I’m proud of you. And I’m grateful to walk this journey with you. 💛 Dessi
