A year of growth, gratitude, and global love
Wow. Truly wow. As this year comes to an end, I’m sitting here with the biggest sense of gratitude and a heart that feels very, very full 💛 What started as a small idea — almost a quiet experiment — turned into something I never could’ve imagined.
This year taught me so much: about consistency, courage, patience, and believing in myself even when things felt uncertain. This blog became more than a website — it became a space for learning, sharing, and connecting 🤍

The beginning of it all 🌱 — April 9
On April 9, I officially opened this blog with my very first post:
“Women in ICT Day 2025: How To Empower Women in Tech.”
That moment still feels special. That post wasn’t just content — it was intention. It marked the start of a journey focused on empowerment, growth, and giving women in tech the visibility and encouragement they deserve 💻✨ I’m so proud that this was how it all began.

When support crossed borders 🌍💫
What started as a personal project quickly became something much bigger than me. With every post, share, and read, this space turned into a global conversation. The support didn’t stay local — it traveled across borders, cultures, and time zones, reminding me that ideas truly have no limits.
From Europe —
Kosovo, Ireland, Portugal, Albania, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Romania, Russia, the Netherlands, Montenegro, the U.K., Ukraine, Poland, Austria —
to Asia —
Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Iraq, Singapore, Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Syria, Iran —
to Africa —
Morocco, Ethiopia, South Africa, Egypt —
and all the way to the Americas —
The U.S., Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Seeing my work reach all these places honestly leaves me speechless 🥹🌎 Thank you to every single person who clicked, read, shared, and supported — you mean more to me than you know.

8 milestones that shaped my year 🚀✨
This year gave me moments I’ll always carry with me:
Launching my blog and committing to my voice ✍️
Publishing my first official post and standing by my message
Reaching readers across four continents 🌍
Growing more confident with every post
Staying consistent even when it was hard
Identifying my blog with a logo, description and a translation bar (to help everyone who isn't an English-speaker read in their native language) 🔠
Building a community rooted in support and learning 🤍
Becoming a junior front-end developer 💻🔥
Yes — that last one still feels unreal. Stepping into tech, learning front-end development, and officially becoming a junior front-end developer is something I worked toward with patience, late nights, and a lot of belief in myself. Proof that growth doesn’t always scream — sometimes it builds quietly and then shows up big ✨

Almost one year of this journey 🤍🎉
We’re also getting close to this blog’s first anniversary, and that alone feels like such a milestone. One year of showing up. One year of learning out loud. One year of progress, mistakes, courage, and growth.
To everyone who supported me — loudly or silently — thank you. You are part of this journey more than you know 💛

Looking ahead to 2026 ✨🌟
As we step into 2026, I’m carrying gratitude, curiosity, and big dreams with me. I hope this new year brings you growth, clarity, health, and opportunities that feel aligned with who you are becoming.
May 2026 be full of wins, lessons, and moments that make you proud of how far you’ve come 🥂✨

Happy New Year 2026 🤍
With so much love and gratitude,
Roneda Osmani
