What the Heck Am I Even Talking About?!!?

Well life, obviously. You didn’t pick up on that?

Before we get too far, because let’s face it. You might just read the first two lines and peace out. There are two newsletter posts from 2024 that I think may be the most important. (though one of them has a link to another most important one so it’s sort of like 3 for the price of two. Except this is all for free? “Okay, scatted Tim, reel it in! Reel. It. In.”)

Let’s share those two at the bottom because if I share them here, you might just click over and never come back. The two important ones though, maybe you remember them? Being a thermostat and gardening.

Wow, scatter brained this morning. Lack of sleep, too many directions. Let’s bring it back around.

In today’s newsletter you will find my hopes for you in 2025 (don’t worry, they aren’t that you get hit by a moose running across the street), a free coloring download from a mandala I created, and the links to those two newsletters. That’s all for this one.

Sometimes power comes in small packages?

My 2025 Wish For Each One Of You

Make 2025 the Year of “More”

As we all step into the new year, this place of 2025, I want to share my heartfelt hope for you, from my soul to yours - that 2025 becomes a year of “more.”

Not the hurried “more” of to-do lists and obligations, but a year of deeper, more meaningful experiences that fill your days with purpose and joy. Let this be the year you make room for what truly matters.

Especially since there’s a looming reality that more and more people are beginning to realize, if you don’t find joy for yourself, no one else will because that harsh reality is that those other people, outside of your side kicks, they really don’t give a shit about your happiness. That one hurts but in an attempt to get this across to you, stop and think about the last time “they” did something to make sure you found peace and or joy? Heck, I don’t even know you but I’m here hoping for you to find it.

Anyway, I digress.

So how can we do this. How can you do this?

Let us start by embracing more movement. Whether it’s a brisk walk along scenic trails, an energizing yoga session, or simply dancing around your living room, movement fuels your body and uplifts your spirit. Pair that with more laughter—those moments of joy that connect us and remind us not to take life too seriously. Heck, yesterday it was cold and I was struggling mentally to want to be outside. So we went and walked around the mall for 40 minutes just talking and popping in and out of shops.

Next, let’s also cultivate more empathy. A kind word or a simple gesture can make a world of difference, not only to those around you but also to yourself. Spend more time in nature, breathing deeply and finding calm in the beauty of your surroundings, your landscapes, whether it’s the quiet of a forest trail or the sparkle of a riverbank, or even a quiet side street where you can sit on a bench and just be.

I will also encourage you to embrace more gratitude, taking a moment each day to reflect on life’s blessings. Side note, I hate the lists “write down 5 things you’re grateful for today”… Don’t pressure me for that. Let me just live in those moments and that’s that… List or not though, let’s embrace the gratitude?!?!

Let us nourish our bodies with more whole foods—the vibrant, delicious, and wholesome ingredients that sustain and energize. I am currently on a new mission to take more processed “crap” out of my days. (I will surely cheat at this but we can cook and bake things which will not only fuel our bodies in a healthier way, cooking and baking can be a great form of creating and hanging with your people) 

With that, let us reconnect with your neighbors and loved ones, building more community through shared moments and collective care. This seems to be organically happening for us already and I am excited to see where more of 2025 takes that!

Finally, in a world so often dominated by screens and notifications, take more time offline.

Be present. Soak in the moments that matter most, untethered from distractions, and rediscover the richness of face-to-face connection and quiet reflection. Be around good people, give love to others, have joy, be joy, Be YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF!

Heal, grow, explore… Gosh, I truly hope you can work toward your best year. You deserve it!

Here’s to making 2025 a year of intention, growth, and fulfillment. Together, let’s fill this year with more of the good things that make life extraordinary. Cheers to a year of “more”! 🌟
