Reflections: A Year of Planting Seeds and Learning / Reflexiones: Un Año de Siembras y Aprendizajes
2024 was a year of achievements and learning, but above all, it was a year for planting seeds. Every project, every idea, every step I took felt like planting a seed, hoping it would one day sprout and flourish. However, the year didn’t end as I had envisioned.
Looking back, I find myself filled with a mix of emotions: pride in what we accomplished, yes, but also frustration. We always want to see the fruits of our labor quickly, and the reality is that many of those seeds have yet to show any signs of growth. I ended the year feeling a bit confused, tired, and with that hollow feeling of waiting for results that still haven’t come.
The challenge of looking toward the future
Refocusing hasn’t been easy. Looking back at those goals we set at the beginning of the journey—those that remain pending—requires patience and faith. And it’s not always easy to have faith when things don’t happen as quickly as you’d hoped.
But I understand that every great dream needs time, consistent effort, and perseverance. This process has not only tested me as a designer and entrepreneur but also as a mother, a leader, and a human being. Part of this journey isn’t just about doing but about reflecting, rethinking, and questioning myself constantly. And I believe it’s precisely in those moments of doubt that we find the keys to move forward and improve.
Lessons from planting
This year taught me something fundamental: it’s not just about harvesting but about trusting the process. Every seed planted takes its time, and the fact that I haven’t seen immediate results doesn’t mean the work was in vain. On the contrary, every step, every decision, and every effort is a piece being placed in the right spot for a future we can’t yet see.
Moreover, 2024 brought wonderful blessings. We had beautiful collaborations, spectacular windows of opportunity opened, and in every step of the journey, there were moments that reminded me it’s all worth it.
A heart full of gratitude
After all the steps I’ve taken, there is one feeling that rises above all the others: gratitude. Despite the doubts, the waiting, and the challenges, I am profoundly grateful to God and the universe for every opportunity, every lesson, every tear, and every triumph.
Today, I close this year with gratitude in my heart. I am thankful for the doors that opened, for the people who believed in me, for the moments that taught me to be stronger, and for the opportunities yet to come. With this gratitude, I want to keep walking, cherishing every blessing and trusting that the future holds the best.
To everyone who has been with me on this journey: thank you. Thank you for being part of this dream, for believing in my vision, and for giving me the strength to move forward.
With faith, patience, and gratitude, we keep planting seeds.
El 2024 fue un año de logros y aprendizajes, pero, más que nada, fue un año para sembrar. Cada proyecto, cada idea, cada paso que di fue como plantar una semilla con la esperanza de que algún día germine y florezca. Sin embargo, cerrar el año no fue como lo imaginaba.
