I've chosen the word abide for this year as I need to learn to sit, not change not control and not run away from uncertainty and uncomfortable situations.

I love your writing and I hope to be inspired by your words as the year unfolds. Welcome to 2025!

Beautiful reflections; I am certainly seeking a slow and gentle approach to the beginning of this new calendar year 🙏🌿✨

Thanks David. Yes, I have to agree. A slow and gentle approach is the only way to go. It totally changes how one feels about things. The pressure subsides, expectations are lower. A much better way start to the year.

Hi Debbie, Happy New Year to you.

I loved reading your recap and hopes for 2025. I am looking forward to your vanlife adventures, as I like vicariously through you! I also really love your word of the year, I think it will serve you well.

Aww thanks Emily 😊

We have an exciting trip planned in a few weeks time for a weekend. In the middle of a woodland, totally off-grid. I cannot wait 😊

Did you manage to persuade hubby to think about hiring a van?

Oh that sounds lovely, I love the idea of off grid, I am sure that will be totally magical.

I am working on it … we are planning some holidays for the year so I will raise it again!

Yes yes yes ..my list for 2025 looks very similar to yours🥰 But my travel to Scotland is in our sailing boat rather than a camper van and my public writing will be focused on my sailing blog when we set off in the summer. Best wishes for 2025 I'll be following your journey and hope I can keep up. It's inspiring to see others striving for the same goals. Thank you for words.
