Trekking on a new foundation: 2025

This week marks the beginning of 2025. Today was supposed to be our first day back in the office from winter break, however, it snowed over a foot yesterday into this morning, so I am hibernating today. I consider snow days a precious gift, a time of being home I was not going to have. Right now I am sitting in my basement watching a log fire on Netflix while I drink chai tea. Those log fires are really relaxing, if you don’t have netflix try youtube, they are everywhere.

Each December, I review my year and choose a new word for the upcoming year. This year I have chosen……… Foundation as my word for 2025. I am very excited and a little nervous about it. Mainly because it is the first time I have chosen a word that encompasses my entire being. My intentions around this word will impact my career, home, marriage, family, faith, community, etc. Everything. This is a really big word this year especially coming off of a year that was foundation shifting in so many ways. I need a new baseline.

As it is January, my new word has begun. I will say I chose this word in early December so I kind of started working towards it already. I decided that I shouldn’t have to wait until January 1st to make the shift and having the extra month to settle into the word meant I am farther along and more motivated come January. This has not happened in prior years with other words, and it may never happen again, but it happened this year. My plan is to take it slow, very very very slow, and start at the root of myself. How I infuse God into my foundation more deeply. I look forward to sharing more in the coming months on how I am trekking through 2025 on a new foundation. Happy New Year!
