In these in between days, you might be tempted to lament what didn’t happen in your writing career in 2025. It’s okay to reflect, but I also want you to be proud of all the ways you fought and got through. Every action is a “marble in your jar” and one day that jar will be full.
Just keep moving forward! And if you throw enough stuff against the wall (spaghetti rule from my workshop 😂) something’s bound to stick! 🍝
Don’t forget the fullness you have now. 💖Reflect on the million graces and the joy you’ve experienced in 2025.
I’m thankful for every conversation I’ve had with YOU. I’ve loved hearing about your dreams and your stories. I’m excited to see where the road takes you!
Yes, continuing to hope can be hard, but this journey is worth it. I’m seeing true friendships being made, and that’s one of the biggest blessings of the writing road.
I ponder a lot over early and late night tea. Often, I’m thinking of many of you. Just wanted you to know that I see you and I regularly pray for you all. Thank you for being a part of this community! You are not alone!
Last night I was even doing a bit of dreaming. One day I just might do an in person retreat. Who knows where we might find ourselves. But hey—Charleston, SC has some amazing houses that we could rent right on the beach. 🌊🐠🦀🐙🐬Time will tell! 🕰️
What are you feeling as 2025 comes to a close? What are you hoping for in 2026?
