Gleaning The Gold From 2025

As the year comes to a close, there is often a rush to move forward. New goals. New plans. New energy. But before we sprint into the next chapter, there is something deeply powerful about pausing right here.

This moment between years is sacred.

After the holidays it’s easy to slip into the next year without really acknowledging everything you have lived, navigated, healed, and grown through. But this is such a powerful time to harness the energy of celebration and I don’t want you to miss out on it!

Before you call in what is next, let us take a breath together and glean the gold from where you have already been.

Your Mini Joy Review

This is your invitation to slow down and give your wins some room to breathe and shine. Grab a pen, your journal, or simply a quiet moment.

Ask yourself:

• What challenged me the most this year, and what strength did it quietly grow in me?
• What am I genuinely proud of, even if it felt small at the time?
• Which moments felt like me returning to myself?
• What made me laugh, soften, or feel held this year?
• Which part of my story feels like gold now when I hold it with gratitude?
• Where did Joy show up in an unexpected form?

Joy is not always loud. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it surprises us.

Take your time with these questions. Let the answers land without judgment.

Raising the Vibration Through Appreciation

Before moving forward too fast, let us pause here and raise the vibration through appreciation.

I invite you to read the following prompts out loud to yourself. Slowly. Intentionally.

Thank you for the growth that shaped me
Thank you for the resilience that steadied me
Thank you for the people who loved me loudly and quietly
Thank you for the moments that cracked me open and put me back together
Thank you for what worked out better than I expected
Thank you for the strength I can feel now that I couldn’t yet feel then
Thank you for how far I’ve come

Add in your own special thank-you…
Let appreciation be the permission slip to take up space in your own evolution.
