Happy 2025! We are a month in - how are YOU feeling?
It’s been the longest month but also - how is it the last day of January!?
At the beginning of the month I was thinking about what my 2025 word, or what my power word of the year should be. Last year, it was CLARITY and I was really tempted to continue using this word for 2025 because I didn’t end 2024 with full clarity and no other words felt quite right… But then I saw a post on Instagram that really connected with me and instantly I knew what my word was. I knew it was ACTION. So, I committed to my word. I wrote it down. I added a daily phone reminder and was ready.
A week or so later I was going through some of my notes and I came across one thing I jotted down that a speaker named Edwin Chung said at Platform Social (the event I did a sticker activation for Pinterest last October). Most of the event I was busy running my sticker station, but I did get to listen to a few of the speakers and I wrote down literally one note. I completely forgot about it and I opened up this note and it said: “Take action before clarity” - it was one of those magical moments where everything just made sense and I knew I chose the right power word going into 2025. Even though I do not have full clarity yet, I am taking action this year!
So here we are… above is my first collage of 2025, my JANUARY MOOD(board).
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN, ACTION - instead of being stuck in in planning mode, I am taking action this year. and taking action sooner than maybe I’d like or am comfortable with. and adding a little sparkle while doing it.
… and now here are a few specific things I am really into right now:
What I’m reading …
The Let Them Theory
Right now I am reading (well listening - I always listen to non-fiction books) to The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. I feel like everyone is talking about this one… I’ve listened to many of her Podcasts and I’m not sure I’ll get through the whole book but I’ll report back! BUT if you’re more into fiction books, you can see my round up of the books I read in 2024 here:
Part I
Part II
I’m watching…
Matilda in Concert
I went for the first time to TSO (Toronto Symphony Orchestra) and saw Matilda. What an amazing experience! Matilda to this day is one of my favourite movies and it was extra special because 80 year old Danny DeVito narrated the performance while the TSO played the music live! If you closed your eyes you would have never known it was live - spot on! I would recommend checking out the In Concert shows … Encanto is coming up next!
