This year I invite you to decide what matters most to you by choosing one word to focus on. I started this tradition for myself back in 2006 and it truly has reminded me of the power of our thoughts and focus. Change, kindness, mindfulness, grace, and force are some of the focuses I have chosen through the last 18 years. Try and take 10 minutes or so in the early morning before the house becomes busy for yourself (if your baby or toddler hasn’t woken up multiple times in the night) to savor a cup of coffee (without having to reheat it 3x) and decide what your focus will be in 2025. Use the powerful tools of manifestation and inspired action. Acknowledge that there will be many detours (think potential traffic on 80 East while headed to Tahoe). The only thing you can control is your response. Take risks, examine your ego/blindspots, show gratitude, and relish in what is while you dream up what is next. Delight in curiosity for this next year of your life.
