Reflections of 2024 And Intentions for 2025 - Reflect - Let Go - Make Room "Show UP"

Every year I do a blog about reflection

REFLECTION: Serious thought or consideration. Looking back and gaining perspective. Life Lessons!

We all go through battles in life, and some years are definitely better than others.

Every year at (years end) I do a reflection and evaluation of my past year. I think about the highs and lows. What did I accomplish and what did not pan out. I take a moment to celebrate my victories, and some silent time to reflect on the disappointments.

Then I set a game plan in motion for the New Year. It is not a resolution, but a list of things I would like to see change and happen in 2025. Then I step into the New Year with a strong positive mindset and get to work! Change does not happen on its own, we must put in our time, patience and energy.

2024 the Year of many struggles -

This past year was a year of many, many struggles for me, and some BIG disappoints for sure. There were things that I wanted to see happen, that just did not go my way. I have felt a bit overlooked in some situations and ignored in others. My goals, wishes and dreams for The Book of Joann did not go where I wanted and needed it to travel. In my personal life, there was some serious struggles, and I had to do a lot of personal work to overcome the countless emotions attached to the situations. It was a very complex year that is for sure, but the good news is “I survived”.

I have now done my reflection, and I am ready to step into 2025 with a fresh perspective. I made peace with my shortcomings and let them go. We cannot dwell on the past if we want to make progress in the future. When we unload what does not serve us purpose any more, we are allowing new adventures to present themselves.

Also, every year I pick a new word or phrase to represent my upcoming year. This year I chose "Show UP". If we want to be a part of something (personal or professional) WE need to show up and be present!

I am ready to take on the world in 2025 - How about you?

Happy 2025 everyone. I hope you all have a blessed New Year filled with great adventures, new experiences and positive outcomes.

Embrace the Journey,

God Bless,
