A New Year, a New Roadmap to 2026 ! ... and the Tradition Lives On

Another year, another challenge, another adventure… another roadmap.

What started years ago will not stop today, it continues, clearer in purpose and stronger in faith. 2025 Roadmap

I want to take a few minutes to pause with you and reflect on this year’s journey.


 Looking back, this year was nothing but a blessing on so many levels. It wasn’t an easy year by any measure. Lebanon passed through war, uncertainty, and deeply difficult times. Yet, despite the weight of it all, we managed to survive. Survival itself became an act of courage, resilience, and belief that tomorrow can still be better than today. And here we are: standing at the edge of new challenges, but also new possibilities.

One of the most powerful and unforgettable moments of the year was the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Lebanon. Covering this historic visit was more than a professional milestone; it was a deeply human and emotional experience. For a brief but meaningful moment, Lebanon was once again placed on the world map, not through crisis or conflict, but through hope, faith, and unity.

The Pope’s presence reminded us, and reminded the world, that Lebanon is a land of dialogue, coexistence, and peace. It reignited a collective hope that peace in Lebanon is not just a dream, but a possibility worth holding onto.

On a personal level, this year brought growth that cannot be measured by numbers or titles. Growth in knowledge, in experience, and in self-awareness. Perhaps the most valuable lesson of all was learning who truly stands by you: Recognizing genuine friendships and distinguishing them from the temporary and the superficial. This clarity is not always comfortable, but it is necessary. It shapes you, grounds you, and prepares you for the road ahead.

As we look forward, this year’s roadmap is built on clear and simple, yet powerful, foundations:

·        Health comes first. Without it, nothing else can truly stand. Taking care of the body and the mind is no longer optional, it is a priority.

·        Family remains the anchor. In times of chaos, family is the constant that offers strength, grounding, and unconditional support.

·        Embrace and empathy are essential. The world has endured enough division; choosing understanding, kindness, and compassion is a daily responsibility.

·        Growth on all levels: Personal, professional, emotional, and spiritual. Standing still is not an option; evolution is a choice we make every day.

·        Always stay thirsty for knowledge: Learning keeps us humble, relevant, and open to new horizons. The moment we stop learning is the moment we stop growing.

This roadmap is not about perfection, it’s about intention. It’s about moving forward with purpose, gratitude, and courage. What began years ago continues today, shaped by lessons learned, strengthened by challenges faced, and guided by hope. The journey goes on and the best chapters may still be ahead.
