Transitions, turning points, and the quiet spaces in between. Reflections on growth, letting go, and the ways life keeps unfolding — even when we’re not quite ready.

  • 2026 Rabbit horoscope: growth and challenges ahead.

    Gung Hee Fat Choy! Kung Hei Fat Choy! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

    Earlier this year, I posted about the Year of the Horse and how this year would pan out for rabbits like me.

    For Rabbits in the fiery Year of the Horse (2026), it’s a dynamic period of growth and challenges; expect strong career prospects, potential love breakthroughs, and increased energy, but balance this with caution against impulsiveness, overspending, and health neglect, embracing change for personal development while staying grounded with patience and self-care.

    Who am I to doubt generations of wisdom?

    What will this year bring for you?

  • Year of the Horse.

    According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Fire Horse will be an exceptionally good one for those born under the Rabbit like me. I have included the predictions here for future reference (and to see how things pan out for me in 2026).

    For Rabbits in the fiery Year of the Horse (2026), it’s a dynamic period of growth and challenges; expect strong career prospects, potential love breakthroughs, and increased energy, but balance this with caution against impulsiveness, overspending, and health neglect, embracing change for personal development while staying grounded with patience and self-care.

    Overall Energy

    • Action-Oriented: The Fire Horse year demands action, urging Rabbits to step out of comfort zones for significant growth, but this energy needs mindful channeling to avoid chaos.
    • Mixed Luck: You’ll see strong potential in career and love, but hidden obstacles and overcommitment require careful navigation. 

    Career & Wealth

    • Success & Authority: Expect a boost in career success, with leadership opportunities and prosperous investments, especially later in the year.
    • Action & Caution: Take charge and experiment, but don’t get carried away by the fast pace; patience is key. 

    Love & Relationships

    • Spontaneity: A great year to express affection, bring spontaneity to romance, and nurture relationships.
    • Tolerance: Conflict may arise, so be tolerant and nurturing to loved ones. 

    Health & Wellbeing

    • Vigilance Needed: Pay close attention to your health to avoid accidents or illness, as the high energy can be draining. 

    Tips for Rabbits in 2026

    • Embrace Change: Accept new challenges for personal and professional achievement.
    • Balance Action & Calm: Channel the Horse’s fiery energy with the Rabbit’s inherent thoughtfulness.
    • Lucky Colors/Numbers: Focus on pink and red, and numbers 3 and 4 for good fortune.
    • Avoid Overextension: Be mindful of overspending and overcommitting. 

  • Happy New Year!

    My intention for 2026: Leading with curiosity.

    It is easy to provide a solution, even when the situation doesn’t call for one. I have opinions about how something should have happened or how the waiter could have told me about this or the other thing before I ordered it.

    But this year, I want to stop and ponder, understand the why, or at the very least, be curious. Ask (the right) questions. And then shut up.

  • New chapter.

    After six years leading the recruitment and employment team for the Department, it’s time for a change. Taking care of my health has become my priority now.

    This is bittersweet. I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished together—systemic changes that once seemed impossible, results that exceeded every expectation. These achievements are now woven into the fabric of our team. Working alongside this group made it all worthwhile, and I’ll carry these memories with me always.

    Today, I start a new adventure—maybe my last as a change agent for the Department. I’m just as excited about this next chapter, only with a lot less stress on my body.

  • Itwusnme.

    I had a blog, a long time ago. It was called itwusnme and it had over ten years of my thoughts shared on the internet. I think there were more posts there than I had made on any social media platform of its time.

    Today, that blog is gone.

    Although many of my years since have been shared on social media, I found the noise there so overwhelming that I longed for a quiet place to be with my thoughts and feelings. And so here we are.

    “Finding Koji” is where I write about what it means to notice, to create, and to belong — wherever life happens to take me. Some parts are reflections, others are fragments. All are small attempts at meaning.

    You are welcome to stick around and join me on this journey, to start a conversation, to watch from afar.

    This is the home of my new blog. Built slowly, with care.
