Vol. 2 - Celebration & Reflection

Is it just me or did this month FLY by?! Honestly, I think the entire year did. But here we are, about to close the door on 2022 and ready to welcome in 2023. It’s a time for celebration and reflection- which also happens to be the theme for this month’s Cocktails & Mindset Newsletter! Let’s dive in, shall we??

Cocktail- Celebration!?

The Classic Champagne Cocktail:

This is one of my absolute favorite drinks around the holidays. It brings me back to one of my favorite places in Bozeman, Montana; Boodles. If you know, you know. It was this absolutely magical little gem that truly felt like you stepped into another time and place once you walked through the front door. And that magic was definitely amplified this time of year. Fifteen years ago, you would have found me on one of the beautiful velvet bar stools with a champagne cocktail in hand.

Here’s the recipe:

One sugar cube

2-5 dashes of Angostura bitters (adjust to your preference!)

Squeezed lemon peel

Champagne

Lemon twist to garnish

Place your sugar cube in the bottom of your champagne glass.?

Dash the Angostura bitters on top of your sugar cube.?

Pour your champagne over the bitters soaked sugar cube.?

Take a slice of lemon peel and squeeze those delicious lemon oils into your glass and then run it around the rim of your glass.?

Garnish with a long lemon twist. You can give it a little curl by wrapping it around your finger to make it look extra stunning.?

This can be served with a splash of Cognac instead of lemon, but this is how I drink them and it’s truly delightful! It feels like a celebration in a glass.?

Mindset Time- Reflection!?

The end of December is a beautiful time for reflection! It’s an incredible tool and often highly underutilized. And truthfully, oftentimes I see my clients reflecting on things that could have gone better, how they should have done more, what they would have done differently.?

Shoulda, coulda, woulda’s will get you nowhere… Looking backwards with that mindset will create a lovely pile of … anxiety, comparison, doubt and regret. And I know that’s not what you want. And when we are talking about your energy from a manifestation/co-creation perspective; those feelings are DEFINITELY not what you want to be leaning into as you close out the year.?

So for this month’s mindset work, I want you to try to lean into your higher self while you give yourself grace and compassion and work through these journal prompts.?

What did you learn about yourself this year?

How did you start this year? How did you end it??

Are there things you’re holding onto from this past year that you need to let go of? Why are you holding on to those things??

Pick one word to describe your past year. Why that word?

Let’s set some intentions for 2023!?

If you could have an ideal year, what would it look like? Take a moment and describe it with as much detail as you can.?

Now pick a word for this coming year! Maybe a word that connects to that ideal year you described.?

How can you show up in your life and career to move closer to this ideal year and embody the word of 2023?

Suggested Reading:

I just hosted a fun Books & Booze White Elephant party with some girlfriends this past weekend and had a great time! But it also reminded me that I read so much for work and don’t always dedicate enough time to just read for fun. With that in mind, I wanted to pick a book to include that I really enjoyed reading this past year AND connected with the theme of reflection.?

My pick: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I LOVED this book. I thought it was beautiful, but also a fun, slightly sci-fi-ish book. Stay with me if that’s not your normal category. It was all about reflecting on the regrets in life and all those coulda, shoulda, woulda’s.?
