...my phrase for 2025.
To say 2024 has been a challenging year understates the reality by a gazillion squared, so I knew that my phrase for 2025 would need to really pack a punch.
I studied for years with a spiritual mentor who was one of the most loving people I’ve known, and taught me about the real meaning of love. It’s definitely not always about being kind; she was hard-core, and a proponent of tough love. She spoke the truth, as she saw it, to others in all circumstances. She made a habit of practicing love in all its forms – love for others, love for self (although she did admit that loving oneself was a difficult thing and sometimes the most one could do there was a grudging acceptance), and love for the situation one found oneself in (another tough one). The thing she spoke most to, though, was the fact that our responses to others, ourselves and situations was a matter of choice.
My phrase for 2025 is, then, 'Choose Love'.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your word or phrase for 2025. What have you chosen?
A great choice Win, and always the perfect choice. And I can honestly say that you, my friend are a person who choses to do just that. And that is why I am so proud to call you my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove is the answer to most all the problems in our world.
Your cards are beautiful, I especially like the last one. May I have your permission to make a copy for my desk?
As for myself as I have gotten older it is harder to find joy in things. It's like life has become one long round of been there done that. So my phrase for 2025 is "Find the Joy".
I wish you a healthy, happy, joyful New Year filled with the love of friends and family. Lots of love from here, Deann
Thanks so much, as always, Deann. And of course you have permissions to use the last for your desk.
DeleteI love your phrase for 2025. Finding the joy is such a strong focus for a year, especially when one is feeling someone ho-hum about life. I just know you'll find miracles in every moment with that one.
Thanks, too, for all your wishes for the coming year. May they rebound and multiply in your own life, for you know I wish you all that and more. Sending love and joy your way, my friend. 💖💗💝
Nice thoughts Win. This year has been a bit trying and though it worries me how fast time passes I will be happy to see an end to this year. I might need some help to decide on a phrase but for now "Think Positive" xXx

ReplyDeleteThere is certainly clarity in the phrase - the challenge will be in making the right choice in each moment. I look forward to hearing your final choice for 2025. 💌
DeleteOh, I (choose) love this! Choosing love is always the right decision. And the fact that you then put little reminders everywhere is just great.
ReplyDeleteI haven't chosen a word or phrase yet - following on from my year of feeling like I'm working hard to just keep up.
I'm hoping that your choice for 2025 includes a great deal of rest and calm in your life, Tracy. That feeling of struggling to keep up with things is truly a challenging one, and you could certainly use a quieter time for peace and reflection. xo 💓
DeleteSuch a great choose for 2025 Win. There is so much power in this phrase and combined with all of your beautiful artwork reminders, it is going to be an awesome guide for you! "Choose Love!" Here's to 2025. 🥳
