Chapter 1: Reflecting on the Past Year

As we transition into a new year, it's the perfect moment to reflect on the remarkable journey of 2023. It was a year filled with peaks and valleys, marked by technological advancements and new possibilities. I find myself feeling immense gratitude for every experience, including those that tested my resilience.

Some personal milestones include:

• Personal Growth: Delving deeper into my trauma healing journey, confronting significant challenges related to C-PTSD that unexpectedly affected my health.
• Cherished Memories: Taking Craig and my two youngest children back to California to revisit the enchanting Redwoods, a beloved place from my childhood.
• Mentorship: Engaging a new business mentor who ultimately reconnected me with my previous mentor, profoundly altering my mindset and approach to business in ways I never anticipated.

And this is just the beginning.

Chapter 2: Anticipating the New Year

As we step into 2024, I am filled with excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead:

• Facilitation: Reigniting my passion for leading workshops, events, and VIP days after a hiatus of several years.
• Publishing Dreams: Bringing my children's book series to fruition and sharing it with the world!
• Adventure Awaits: My travel plans are ambitious this year, as I look forward to exploring new destinations with my youngest children.

At the end of each year, I take time to reflect: Did I meet my goals? What strategies worked? What didn’t? What aspirations do I hold for the coming year? I encourage you to take a moment for this reflection as well.

Now, here's my perspective on New Year’s resolutions: I’ve never found them effective.

Why is that?

Statistics show that fewer than 10% of individuals who set resolutions actually follow through. I believe that if you aspire to transform your life, the time for action is now—neither on a Monday nor January 1st, but in this very moment.

Imagine your life one year from now. If everything remains unchanged—your job, relationships, daily habits, finances—how would that feel?

For many, even if they seem content, stagnation can breed unhappiness or a sense of failure. Our intrinsic need for growth is undeniable, and you've likely heard the saying, "If you’re not growing, you’re dying."

So, how does the thought of remaining static resonate with you?

I genuinely believe that each of us is destined for greater things.

Please feel free to share your reflections in the comments!

If the prospect of being in the same situation a year from now fills you with anxiety or despair, consider what steps you can take today to forge a different path.

The journey toward a brighter future begins in the present. Let’s not delay our growth and transformation!

As we usher in the New Year, there's no better time to initiate change.

I want you to know that I’m here to support you in 2024 and beyond.

Wishing you a Happy New Year! Let's make 2024 a year of fulfilling our dreams because everything we desire is within reach.

With love always,
