January 1, 2025

Hello my beautiful humans! Long time no chat! Miss me? Oh, how I’ve missed you! HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR! You thought I’d miss out on my favorite opportunity? THE FRESHEST FRESH START THERE IS - January 1 of 2025?! HA, I would never.

Thank you for allowing me to take time away from my quotes and my blog. I needed some space to process, to recharge, and to focus on navigating a year that brought its fair share of challenges and lessons. Sometimes stepping back is the only way to move forward, and I’m so grateful for your understanding. This year was a tough one for me, as I know it was for many others. I saw you. You were not alone. We took it day by day, and guess what? We made it to 2025. That’s gotta mean something, right?! This brings me to the quote:

“This time last year, life looked so different. This time next year, it will have changed again. Where you are today is just a moment in your journey, not your destination. Trust in the process, you can’t even imagine the incredible things ahead.” - Elle Louise Mcbride

Let that sink in for a second. Whether 2024 was the best year of your life or one of the toughest, I hope there were glimmers of light. Moments that reminded you what life is truly about. It’s all about balance. There will always be ups and downs, moments of hardship and beauty - sometimes so intertwined you can barely tell them apart. But that’s the thing about life: it’s a ride, and every twist and turn matters.

I haven’t been as active on my blog or social media lately, but trust me when I say I’ve seen you. I’ve seen you celebrating promotions, engagements, starting new journeys, and pushing through challenges. I’ve watched as you supported each other and shared moments of joy, big and small. Your resilience and strength have been nothing short of inspiring. I’ve celebrated your wins from afar and admired your resilience. I’m so proud of you. Yes, you! Whether you crushed it in 2024 or just simply survived, that is enough. You are enough. And I’m always here, rooting for you, and cheering you on.

So, here we are at the start of 2025. I’m excited for a year filled with possibility, growth, and connection. Personally, I’m hoping to spend more time on my creative projects (Tiona Lynn Blog/social media) and focus on getting to know myself again. What about you? What dreams and goals are lighting you up for 2025? It’s another chance to keep going, to try our best, to embrace the process. Yes… even when it’s messy, unpredictable, or downright hard. You don’t need to have it all figured out. None of us do. Just take it one day at a time, one step at a time. That’s all anyone can ask for.

Let’s make a pact: this year, we’ll celebrate the little victories, find the light in the dark moments, and keep showing up. For ourselves, for each other. Because the best is yet to come, and you deserve every bit of it.

Trust your journey. Rest your soul. Always leave people better than you found them, and have a restful day and a productive weekend ahead! 👽🫶🏻🧿
