Gratituesday 12.30.25 -Where Did the Year Go?

In the fall of every year there are usually lots of repetition of “where did the year go?” However this year, we did monthly Year Compass check-ins, so there was no surprise. With a small group, we talked about how the year was going and created large and small goals every month. Therefore, I didn’t feel like the year went super fast like in years past. There was more intentionality and productivity. I am looking to do more ritual in my life (and work), so I did guide this Winter Solstice ritual at my last dinner party. I’d also like to do some journaling and affirmations tomorrow. But more than anything I’m excited to let go of the things that didn’t serve me in 2025, and get a clean slate in 2026. Who’s with me? Here’s one more installment of my Lists. (Notice that I didn’t say Weekly Lists…because who am I kidding??!!) The comment section is always open to add your own Gratitudes, Celebrations and Desires. I’ll start!
