Another calendar year has concluded! Now begins the struggle to correctly date materials, appointments, etc. with '2025'. Last year, I was still writing the date as '2023' into March!
Though my to-do list still includes several tasks remaining from last year (I always wish I had accomplished more than I did), I'm optimistic about the projects and plans scheduled within the next 12 months. If you're already (or ever) feeling overwhelmed, remember that you don't need a holiday or a change in season to perform a soft reset and recalibrate. You can take a breath and modify your approach at any time. Find the methods that work for you!
I'll quote Ralph Waldo Emerson as I did at this time last year, and remind that "life is a journey, not a destination."
I hope your journey this year includes creative expression and personal achievement!
