The Power of Intentions: Awakening and Thriving Together

This week, I feel inspired to share something deeply personal with all of you—my word for the year:?Awakening.

Every morning, I reflect on these words to ground myself:

"I am the phoenix, rising from the ashes with renewed strength, clarity, and purpose. Each day, I awaken to my limitless potential, embrace transformation, and boldly step into my greatness."

Awakening?is my rebirth. Right now, I am rising, fully alive and aligned with my highest purpose. From the ashes of my past, I am reborn—stronger, wiser, and more powerful than ever before. The fire within me burns brightly, transforming every challenge into fuel for stepping into my greatness and inspiring others to do the same.

In this moment, I am shedding what no longer serves me and stepping boldly into the life I am creating. I see clearly, act decisively, and embrace the infinite possibilities before me. With each breath, I am renewed. With each step, I rise higher. Rebirth is not a single event—it is the essence of my awakening, a constant evolution into my greatest self.

Awakening?is my call to action—to rise, ignite, and be reborn. It is time. All I need is within me now. I have the power!

Amen!?

I was moved to share my word for the year after receiving an inspiring message from one of my team members. She reflected on her journey through 2024—a year of profound challenges and growth—and chose?Thrive?as her word for 2025. She spoke of building a firm foundation in 2024, planting roots of stability, and now feeling poised to grow, learn, and experience more in the coming year.?

Her words reminded me of the significance of setting intentional themes for our lives. Just as she is ready to?Thrive, embracing the light and standing in the "sunlight of the Spirit," I am embracing my?Awakening, ready to rise and step into my greatness.?

I encourage each of you to consider choosing your own word for 2025 if you haven’t already. Here's how you can make it meaningful:

1. Reflect on Your Journey: Look back on the past year. What lessons have you learned? What challenges have you overcome? Use these reflections to guide your choice.
2. Choose a Word That Resonates: Select a word that embodies your aspirations for the coming year. It could be?Growth,?Courage,?Balance, or anything that speaks to you.
3. Give It Substance: Write down what this word means to you. How does it apply to your life? In what ways will it guide your actions and decisions?
4. Create a Personal Mantra: Craft a phrase or affirmation that encapsulates your word. Repeat it daily to keep your intentions at the forefront.
5. Add a Visual Representation: Find or create an image that symbolizes your word. This could be a sunrise, a phoenix, a tree with new growth, or anything that resonates with your word’s meaning. Use it as a screensaver for your laptop or phone, or display it on your bathroom mirror or desk. Let it serve as a constant reminder of your aspirations and who you are becoming.
6. Share and Inspire: Feel free to share your word with others. You never know who might be inspired by your journey.

Let's embrace this practice together, supporting one another as we each embark on our own paths of Personal & professional growth and fulfillment in 2025.

Remember, we all have the power within us to ignite change and pursue our greatest selves. I look forward to witnessing how each of you will?Awaken?or?Thrive?in your own unique ways this year.
