2025 Intention Setting

I have a friend who annually announces the cut-off for saying “Happy New Year”. This year it was January 12th, so I guess I’m a little late and instead will ask How are you, REALLY?

I’ve been quiet and reflective. I’ve been sad, fearful, angry and tired but also excited, clear, filled with laughter, curiosity and gratitude - there has been a lot of AND and BOTH. You too?

In November & December, I intentionally practiced feeling present, connected, cozy and sparkly (which inspired a challenge to wear more sequins💖). It was amazing, often feeling like the scene from Inside Out 2 with Nostalgia being sent back in the closet - “it’s not time for you yet” was my motto.

With the new year, I want to bring that practice of presence & connection, writing & creating to really feel all those emotions. To use the Inside Out 2 analogies, I want to embrace all those feelings at the control desk, prioritize relationships and tackle hard things lightly. I’m looking forward to 2025 being filled with more in person adventures, building community, sharing, climbing mountains, surfing, creating, playing & wearing lots of sequins! 💖

How do you want to feel in 2025? What is lighting you up right now? What are you looking forward to or excited about? Do you have any challenges, scary or hard things on the calendar?

If you have any questions about making your plans for 2025, tackling a hard challenge or practicing feeling lighter I’m always here to help ! I live for chatting about HOW to bring more light, joy, calm confidence and gratitude into life.

Oh, and because I believe you are exactly where you are meant to be and it’s never too late, Happy New Year!

PS - I thought it could be helpful to share the message I sent to Light 56 Circle members this morning to share a little more about HOW I’m intentionally adding extra light to the world this week. If you are curious about learning more feel free to grab a 1:1 at the link below so we can connect 💕

One of my favorite quotes is:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

So, in honor of MLK day today, my weekly question is how are you bringing light into the world and your life this week?

As always, take what you need & leave what you don’t.

Here are a few things that I have planned, you’ll see they fit nicely with a bunch of upcoming and recorded sessions in Light 56 Circle!

• Create more than consume (art, memories and writing)

• Connect - it was so great to connect with many of you last week/planned for this week

• I’m also putting some dates on the calendar for in person connections if you are local to Seattle! I would encourage you to read this article about the benefit of doing nothing with friends 🥰

• I’d love to bring Bindi back for another watercolor session, if you are interested, please let me know so we can find a time that works for people to attend live.

• Sending physical mail. I’m not going to lie I hate shipping, but I love sending things to connect at a distance so I’ll be putting a bunch of packages in the mail this week

• Notice the little things (the stars & moon have been spectacular the past week ✨). If you want some tips for noticing without judging check out the recording of Rebecca’s session here.

• Move my body (29029 Whistler is 30 weeks away so I’m going to be putting my training into high gear. I really loved my walk & talk last week so would love to do more of these - let me know if you ever want to do your 1:1 as a walk & talk!

• Get ready for my first 56-day challenge of 2025. Starting on the first New Moon of 2025 (Jan 29) I’m going to start my first 56-day challenge. I’ve been experimenting with a couple of habits to decide what I want to focus on during this time. Would love for you to join me! RSVP for the kick-off & Part 2 of Planning 2025.

• I like to do mini 5ish day challenges between my 56-day challenges. These are little sprints or times to experiment with habits or make progress on projects. I have a 5-day challenge that a few of you have done and I’m working on revamping it to make it simpler. If you would like to try it out let me know and I’ll add you to the pilot list!

Share below your intentions for bringing light into the world this week below so we can cheer you on & help support you!
