I think most of us are ready to leave 2025 behind and leap into a fresh chapter.
But before we do that, I want to ask you something:
What if this year actually has gifts you haven’t received yet?
What if the pain, the unpredictability, the challenges you moved through are holding wisdom, strength, and clarity that your future self needs?
2025 hasn’t been a light year.
For many, it’s been full. Messy. Tender.
A year of endings, identity shifts, uncomfortable growth, and deep internal restructuring.
In numerology, 2025 is a 9 year, the final chapter before a new cycle.
In Chinese astrology, it’s the Year of the Snake, a year of shedding and letting go of skins that no longer fit.
And whether you noticed it or not…
many of us have been grieving,
shedding,
releasing versions of ourselves we once depended on.
That deserves to be honored.
But if we don’t slow down, we miss the wisdom, the patterns, the gifts we earned through this lived experience.
I personally am taking as much introvert time as I can this week to journal and reflect. This poem really resonated with me perhaps the line…now that the leaves have fallen also symbolizing not that Christmas is over and the year in nearing end:
"Now the leaves have fallen.
The trees have pulled their aliveness
back in from their branches,
down into their fortress trunks
and the dark, subterranean closeness
of their roots.
Every year they let go of
exactly what everyone says
is most beautiful about them
to save their own lives.
The time will come
when you, too, have to drop
all the ways you’ve made yourself
worth loving,
and finally learn how
to sit quietly
right in the center
of your own small life.
Only there can you cry the tears
your life depends on.
Only there will you find
the tiny seed
that holds the whole mystery of you
and cradle it
in the warmth of your body
until the spring."
James A. Pearson
I invite you to spend some time this week journaling with me:
• Look back at this year across every layer of life
- relationships, finances, health, dreams, failures, achievements
• See patterns and themes we couldn’t see at the time
• Honor the lessons and who we became through the challenges
• Grieve what needs grieving
• And end with a Baltimore Breathwork session with you on Januray 4th to somatically clear space
This is how we complete a year. Not by zipping past it, but by integrating what it gave us.
And then we begin 2026
Because 2026 is not just another year on a calendar (it is a 1 year in numerology) the beginning of a brand-new nine-year cycle.
It is a threshold year.
A reset point.
A blank canvas.
This is the moment where you decide:
Who am I going to be for the next chapter of my life?
This is why our New Year journaling is not about asking:
“What do I want to achieve?” but instead: “Who am I becoming?” and “What wants to express itself through me in 2026?”
Because when identity shifts, your entire life reorganizes to match it.
On Sunday, January 4th from 2:15–3:30pm , we will gather again to:
• clarify the version of you that is ready to emerge in 2026
• identify the values, desires, and truths that will guide your year
• create a vision that feels alive, embodied, and deeply aligned
• choose habits that support your nervous system and expansion
• experience Baltimore Breathwork to anchor this identity at the level of body, spirit, and energy, not just thought
This class is about stepping into the frequency of who you truly are and letting life meet you there.
