Hey there,

Looking back and moving forward…

2024 is coming to a close, making it the perfect time to pause and reflect on the last 365 days. What did 2024 look like for you? Did you do the things you said you were going to do? Did you make progress toward your goals and prioritize what matters most to you? What obstacles have you overcome? What moments made your heart soar with joy, and what lessons did you learn from the tougher days? Looking back, are you proud?

Taking the time to recognize and celebrate these moments is a powerful act of self-love, growth, and gratitude. Day to day, it may not seem like much is changing, but sometimes, when you look back a year later, you see that so much has changed.

Growth isn’t always linear, and progress isn’t always obvious. But if you look closely, you’ll see the strength you’ve gained, the fears you’ve faced, and the ways you’ve grown into a better version of yourself—step by step, day by day.

No matter what this year was filled with - challenges, triumphs, lessons, opportunities - it has all shaped who you are today and who you are becoming as we walk toward 2025.

As we prepare to welcome the new year, I encourage you to set aside some time to reflect on this past year and dream big about what’s ahead. What do you want to create, achieve, or feel in 2025? What areas of your life do you want to nurture, transform, or explore? Let your imagination run wild, and dare to believe in your power to make it all happen.

Here are a few prompts to guide your reflection and goal-setting:

1. What am I most proud of accomplishing this year?

2. What lessons from this year will I carry forward into the new one?

3. What do I want to leave behind as I step into 2025?

4. What’s one bold goal I want to set for myself in the new year?

Remember, you are the author of your story, and every day is a new page. Let’s close this chapter with gratitude and begin the next with intention and purpose. Also, remember that endings make for beautiful beginnings.

I’m so proud of you for all you’ve accomplished this year, and I can’t wait to see all the magic you create in the next.

See you next year.

Until then, keep going and keep growing.
