Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

As the year winds down, I always find myself noticing the quiet in those last few days - the space after the busyness, before everything starts again. I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to rush straight into “what’s next” without pausing to check in with ourselves.

This space matters the most!

Before any resolutions or plans take over, I want to invite you to do something a little different with me this year - something simple, human, and honest.

Before you rush ahead, take a moment to write your truth to 2025. Not as a list of goals, not as a plan, but as a letter to 2025, from your heart.

So much of our creative and personal life is spent responding to expectations, timelines, roles we’ve outgrown and so much more.

This moment, right before the year turns, is an invitation to pause and speak intentionally.

Not from what you think you should want, but from what’s been quietly asking for space in your life, your work and creativity.

Writing a letter to 2025 is powerful because it bypasses strategy and goes straight to the soul.

​

The Takeaway

You don’t need a perfect vision for the year ahead, you just need an honest conversation with it. It's time to reflect and release.

Something to Try

This week, Write a letter to 2025

Let it be personal, messy and real.
You might write about:

• How you want your life and work to feel - the energy, flow, and tone of your days
• What you’re ready to leave behind - habits, thoughts, relationships, or expectations that no longer serve you
• How you felt about the past year - your wins, struggles, surprises, and growth
• Deep reflections you’ve gained - lessons you’ve learned about yourself, your creativity, and your resilience
• Moments when you felt fully alive or connected - and what made those moments possible
• What fears or doubts you’re ready to release, and what courage you’re ready to claim

There’s no right way to do this just BE PRESENT.

I appreciate you!

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx
