EMBRACE THE NEW YEAR

As the new year approaches, like many other people I am thinking of what I want to accomplish in 2025. These last few days of 2024 are the perfect time to make your plans so you can begin working toward your goals right on January 1. 

I know professionally I have set a few goals for myself. None of them will be easy for me to accomplish, but I am excited to put in the work and see the results. Here are three of my goals:

1 - Get the world speaking the language of flowers

2 - Have the first draft of my second book finished by June 30, 2025

3 - Attend another conference with friends from the ‘writing world’ for continued learning, some good times, and memory-making moments, too!

A suggestion for you starting in January, is to make 2025 a ‘flower-filled’ year. This can include having flowers in your own home, gifting flowers to others, or perhaps starting your very own flower garden (even if that means pots on your patio). (Excerpt from ‘A Bouquet of Words’.)

There are many benefits to having flowers in your life including the mood-boosting impact they have (just a hint to what book #2 will be about!).

So let’s embrace this new year! It’s full of new beginnings (daffodil). Make sure you keep your life balanced (hellebore), and stay dedicated (hyacinth) to obtaining your hopes (snowdrop) and wishes (dandelion).

Wishing you a happy life (peony).
