Hi, friend! Happy New Year’s Eve! Tonight, my husband will likely have to wake me up to cheers our Martinelli’s at midnight. Turns out, toddlers don’t understand NYE and still wake up at the crack of dawn.
I love New Year’s because it’s such a lovely and valid excuse to reflect. Whip out that journal and spend a few minutes reflecting on your year in 2024—how did it go? What are your wins? Then, look ahead to 2025—what are you most excited about? What new chapter will you write in your story?
Launching Write My Story, a newsletter about the craft of writing personal stories & living a life worth remembering, has been a highlight of my 2024. I’ve loved following the creative energy to dive head first into this project! And, of course, I’m buzzing with excitement about my book launch in 2025!
There’s so much that I can’t wait to share with you in the new year. Eek! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everyone who has supported me on this wild journey. If you’re looking for a way to directly support my book launch, please consider becoming a paid subscriber—it helps me continue to do this important work.
