You did a fine job, Rachel, of walking us through a meaningful process. I used to journal quite heavily as my reflection, and you're quite right, planners and photo archives can be excellent ways to help jog the memory of all the events past. It was actually though my gratitude list that I discovered what my words of the year will be for 2025 ~ Wonder and Play. And I love your word of the year, it really distills what's important like that great Goethe quote. Glad we connected here, too. Happy holidays, Rachel! xo
Thank you, Lani! Yes, that's the way, reflections and gratitudes to guide us to our word/phrase. :) wonder and play sound so much fun! Happy holidays, too and here's to deeper connections.
I loved reading your list, and so honoured to be mentioned on it. I'm very grateful for our connection on here too! :) i'm really drawn to your idea of noticing patterns in the lists we make - I haven't made mine yet but the idea of finding patterns is definitely motivating me to!
I love this reflection process, and am very grateful to have connected with you here! I am sitting with "presence" as my word of the year for now, and digging through journals and my calendar to get ready to reflect on 2024.
I absolutely love this idea of making a gratitude list to end the year! I always set goals for myself for the year to come, but as life has it, the year doesn’t end up going how I planned. A gratitude list is a brilliant replacement for New Year’s resolutions! And thank you for the mention. I’m really grateful for the connection we made this year 🤗

It can be a rewarding and insightful exercise. Try it and let me know! :)
What a deeply profound piece, Rachel! Wishing you season's greetings and a joyous 2025!
Thank you Sharmila! Happy new year to you!

Presence sounds perfect! I find reflecting wraps up a year nicely and is like see through mirror to next year.

I am glad to connect with you too! Look out for my next practice, which might help you in your goal setting for the year to come :)

Thanks :) yes, so glad we connected and it was a good year!
