January Blog Post - 2024 in Review and Looking Ahead to 2025

It’s hard to believe 2024 is officially on the books now. It’s the first year in a while that, to me at least, feels like it flew by. I have to work hard to remind myself of all the things I was blessed to do and be a part of this year.

Are you feeling that too, or was 2024 a long year for you? (It’s interesting how some years can fly by while others seem to drag on…which one was 2024 for you?)

This past year (2024), taught me a lot, not the least of which is:

• If I am not doing big, scary things, I am not growing.
• I can do big, scary things, and the growth that comes from it is exciting.
• I am just getting started.
• I am worthy of great things!
• In order for me to truly grow I have to be honest with myself.
• Connection and relationships are everything!
• Kindness, honesty, and integrity – three things I will always look for in the people I let into my inner circle.
• Surrounding yourself with people who are doing what you want to be doing is a genius move.

Powerful lessons from 2024. And now it’s time to focus on the new year ahead. What will 2025 hold for you? Will you finish something you have been working toward? Reach a milestone in some area of your life? Stick to the promises you made to yourself throughout the year? Take a big, scary step in some area of your life? Take time just for yourself this year to relax and/or rejuvenate?

If you haven’t taken some time to ponder what you might like out of 2025, now is the time to do it. All you need is a little quiet time to think to yourself about where you are in the various aspects of life (personal, professional, social, financial, spiritual, physical, mental, etc.) vs where you want to be. Then you can start to identify the things you want to do to bridge any gaps between where you are and where you want to be. Whether you do this activity on your own or in a group (i.e. with a group of friends or with your family) it is an important step to ensure you get the most out of 2025.

If you prefer to have a community of supportive individuals who are also on this goal setting journey in 2025, join us for the Women’s One-Day Renewal Retreat on January 18th where we will work to identify our most important goals in 2025 and on how to achieve them. For more information on the day, click here and read over the details. It is always an amazing event and we would love to have you join us this year. Space is limited so register early. The goodie bag alone is worth the price of admission and then some! 😊

However, we each may choose to tackle 2025, let’s work to make it our best year yet! Namaste.
