Reflecting on Growth: Embracing the New Year

Happy New Year All!  

As we move forward into 2025, I am encouraging you (and me!) to take a moment and reflect on the personal growth you experienced in 2024 and the growth you would like to see in 2025.

To stimulate our thinking, I found some inspiring quotes to share and added some thought-provoking questions:

Sarah Ban Breathnach encourages us to… "Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing." 

Which leads us to these questions, were there moments in 2024 when you stepped out of your comfort zone? What lessons did those leaps teach you?

C.S. Lewis reminds us that "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."

What dreams did you nurture in 2024. What dreams will you pursue in 2025?

When Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year." I believe he was reminding us of the power of our passion. What were daily joys for you in 2024?  How can you carry this gratitude and optimism into and through 2025?

And lastly, this quote from Plato rings the bell of the new year best…"The beginning is the most important part of the work."

I hope you’ll take time this month to journal your thoughts. And reflect on the challenges you overcame and the strength they revealed, and the achievements you celebrated and the lessons you learned.

Then shift your focus to 2025 and consider… What qualities do you want to nurture? How will you create space for growth and joy? And, what intentions will align your actions with your dreams?

With gratitude for the past and hope for the future, I hope you will step boldly into 2025 with me, knowing each day holds potential for growth and transformation!

Love,

Donna
