As we arrive at the final pages of 2025, this Christmas edition feels both tender and collective. It is a pause between what has been and what is quietly becoming. A season of warmth, reflection, and honest stock taking, wrapped in the familiar comfort of family, memory, and hope.
This issue is about finishing well. Not with noise or perfection, but with intention. Across these pages, we explore purpose, resilience, womanhood, healing, and the quiet power of choosing peace in a world that constantly demands performance.
Being the cover star of this final issue is not about visibility, but responsibility. It is about holding space for reflection and renewal, and reminding ourselves that growth often arrives softly. In wisdom earned,
boundaries honoured, and rest finally embraced.
As the year closes, I hope this edition meets you gently. Whether you are celebrating milestones, sitting with loss, or rebuilding in silence, remember this, finishing strong is not about how the year looked, but how you choose to step forward.
Here is to light, intention, and the courage to begin again. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a great New Year
