For the tenth year, I am inviting you to say goodbye to the current year in a positive and creative way and plan the next with Honouring Your Story. 

As you know, here, we don't analyse our mistakes, errors of judgement or missed opportunities. I believe that a review should be a celebration, an opportunity to raise our self-esteem, not beat ourselves up (we do it often enough!). 

Every year at this time, I reflect on the fact that I am not the same person as I was a year before. it doesn't matter how old one is, one never stops evolving. The 'hush' is this sacred time between Christmas and New Year's Day which is best spent reflecting, resting and being quiet.

Each year, there is one prompt from the workbook that has more significance so if you think that it is always the same prompts, I would encourage you to consider what resonates with you more this year and focus on that. If you only do one prompt or two, that’s alright as it is what you need right now. For me this year, I will be focus on Prompt 3, Prompt 5, Prompt 8 and page 15. I am also curious to see what comes out of Prompt 1 as I have not taken many pictures. I used to send many pictures to my mum and this year, whenever I wanted to take one, I would think there was no point, which surprised me to be honest. Instead, I have many screenshots and those will tell me about my 2024 self.

This year, I will not have a Word of the Year but a motto:

I am here for a good time, not a long time. 

A good time is whatever it is that brings me joy or peace.

I  have attached the workbook for Honouring Your Story 2024/25.

I will be running my free 7-Day Challenge again — New Year, Fresh Start — to further help you start 2025 strong. It will be on Substack. Look out for the emails starting December 30th. Don’t miss these activities! 

Let's pray that the slow return to light brings a brighter year for the world and ourselves! I am sending much love and encouragement. I believe in you.
