Where Grit Meets Grace

What's shakin' my friend!

Wow, and here I had high hopes that all the crap from 2024 wouldn't cross the line into the new year... And yet today we are all glued to our TV's watching the fires in California.

​

Sometimes I just can't help but ask why... Why does all of this bad stuff have to happen? Can't life just be good?

​

So, with no answers to those big questions about life, I'll just stick to worrying about right now.

​

With that said, believe it or not, but we are indeed cruising right on our merry way into 2025! And before you or me get too far down the highway of life, I felt we could all use a little extra help to insure this year is better than the last.

​

And that is where today's newsletter intersects with the two podcast episodes published this week on Grit, Grace, & Inspiration!

​

🌟 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: If you listen to the podcast on your favorite app rather than here online, you will get to see that the podcast got a facelift this week! Yes, new artwork is in place! Definitely hit reply on this email and let me know what you think!

12 Monthly Motivations: Your Roadmap to an Epic 2025

You know how we all start the year with big dreams, but sometimes they fizzle out? Well, I've got a strategy that's gonna change the game for you:

​

• Instead of one big New Year's resolution, let's rock 12 monthly motivations!
• Each month, we focus on one area of our lives to level up
• It's like having 12 fresh starts throughout the year - how cool is that?

​

Imagine tackling things like fitness, relationships, career goals, and personal growth, one month at a time. It's way less overwhelming and way more fun!

​

Now, here's the kicker: by breaking it down, we're setting ourselves up for success. Small wins lead to big victories, my friend. And trust me, as someone who had to relearn life after losing my sight at 17, I know a thing or two about taking it one step at a time.

The Reverse Bucket List: Shedding the Weight of 2024

Now, here's something that's gonna blow your mind - the Reverse Bucket List. But it's not what you might think:

​

• It's about acknowledging all the tough stuff from 2024
• We're talking mistakes, failures, breakups, and all the not-so-great moments
• Most importantly, The Reverse Bucket List is a powerful way to shed the weight of last year and make room for the awesomeness of 2025

​

Here's how it works:

1. Looking back over the year that was 2024, write down every negative experience or feeling that the year brought into your life. Using one of those sticky pads with the little yellow square pieces of paper would be perfect for this!
2. One by one, toss each piece of paper into your "bucket" of choice. This symbolic act is you literally taking the weight off your shoulders)
3. Then, the fun part - either toss it in the trash on garbage day or send it all up in smoke while sitting around a bonfire on Saturday night.

​

This isn't about dwelling on the negative. It's about recognizing it, learning from it, and then letting it go. It's like decluttering your soul to make space for all the amazing things coming your way in 2025!

​

Let's make 2025 our best year yet!

With tons of inspiration and a big virtual hug,
