As We Lay 2024 Down…

unfiltered heart. messy bedhead. forever practicing courage.

Dear friend,

As ​the year slips softly into memory, I imagine you standing in the threshold between what has been and what will be, a heart full of tender aches and resilient hopes.

This past year has stretched you, illuminated so much, and, at times, perhaps, left you breathless with both wonder and weariness. But here you are, a mosaic of strength and fragility, courage and doubt, piecing yourself together one deliberate moment at a time.

There is a beauty in your longing—for health, wealth, love, and joy. These desires are not greedy whispers but soul echoes of what you were always meant to claim, dear friend.

Abundance is your birthright, though it sometimes hides beneath layers of belief, circumstance, or hesitation. You’ve walked through the darkened woods of uncertainty and arrived here — ready to listen, to shed, to rise.

As the year ahead unfurls, may you allow yourself to soften into your worth. Your health will bloom in the spaces where you choose rest and self-connection as much as effort and productivity.

Wealth will find its way to you when you align your values with your vision. Love—unshakeable & infinite—will expand wherever you plant seeds of authenticity. And joy, the sweet taste of joy, will ripple out from the smallest moments of gratitude and laughter.

I hope you know this: every step you take toward abundance is an act of courage. It’s not about striving, but about opening. Not about proving, but about trusting. This new year is yours to receive, to savor, to believe in.

And when the days ahead feel heavy, please remember: even in the dimmest hours, you are still moving forward. Let this be the year you hold all parts of yourself with the deepest tenderness, knowing that life isn’t asking you to be perfect—only present, only willing.

From my heart to yours,

I believe in you.

Reflection Practice: Closing the Year & Opening the Next

1. What lessons from this year have shaped you most and how will they inform who you want to become in the year ahead?

2. Where have you shown resilience and courage in ways you didn’t think possible?

3. What parts of yourself are you ready to leave behind, and what parts are you ready to reclaim and amplify?

Practice Prompts: Creating Abundance in the New Year

1. Write a vision letter to yourself from one year in the future, detailing what has transformed in your health, wealth, love, and joy. Be as vivid and bold as you dare.

2. Begin each morning by naming three ways you can embody your values today—through acts of self-care, connection, generosity, or gratitude.

3. Create a “joy altar” in your favorite space—a small space filled with objects, photos, or quotes that remind you of the abundance you already possess and the joy you’re inviting in. It can even be on your phone if you desire.

Grounding Practices for the Challenging Seasons

1. Pause and breathe deeply, grounding yourself and caring for your inner child: “This is temporary. I am capable. I’ve got you — I will take care of you.” Write it down and carry it with you if needed.

2. Identify one supportive action—small but meaningful—you can take to shift your energy when experiencing big feelings — whether it’s a walk, a voice memo to yourself, or reaching out to someone you trust.

3. Keep a “resilience jar” on hand: add written reminders of your strengths, past triumphs, and reasons you can trust yourself to navigate tough moments and keep them in a glass jar to reference when you feel far from your courage.

This next year holds infinite possibility. Step into it with all the grace and grit you’ve already shown—you are more ready than you know.
