My word for 2025

Trust.

My word for 2025.

As I sit here on the last day of 2024, 

I reflect on the beauty

The lessons

The growth

The love

That I experienced.

2024 brought me into myself in new and beautiful ways. I moved into my own place, I learned more about single parenting, I fell fiercely in love. I felt more embodied & present in my own life than I ever have been before. I will never regret putting all of myself out there, whatever the result. I want to look back when I’m 90, and know that I never held anything back. I fully lived.

2025 is going to require endless amounts of trust. Mostly, trust in myself, trust in the process of things unfolding. I’m taking some massive risks to pursue a professional dream this year, and while I feel ready, it’s still going to feel scary and overwhelming at times. But this is my one wild and precious life, and it’s up to me to pursue my Big Dreams.

My friends, I wish for you on this New Years,

Peace

Joy

Courage

And a newfound seed of excitement, of What Could Be.

May you chase after that with all that you have. 

Happy 2025 one and all!
