Looking Ahead, Looking Back

As I woke up from a long winter’s nap during the school’s recent Winter Break, I realized it was time to turn the page, or swipe the screen, on another busy and exciting year at W+H. While I’m always trying to live in the present and eager to look ahead to the future, I also enjoy reflecting on the past and celebrating accomplishments and milestones.

Every year, we run a countdown of the Top 10 Stories of the Year on our social media channels during the Winter Break. Since some members of our community decide to unplug a bit during the break and others are not social media followers, I like to dedicate my first blog of the new year to sharing the list.

Since it’s still January, I will wish you all a Happy New Year filled with health, happiness and prosperity as we look ahead to 2026. Let’s take one more look back at the W+H Top 10 Stories of 2025:
