DECEMBER 2025 – Reflections and Gratitude at Year’s End

Looking Back on 2025

And here we are at the end of another year! It feels as though we only recently welcomed in 2025, and yet the months have flown by with remarkable speed. This year has been one of the swiftest I have ever experienced, filled with both achievements and important lessons. As we step into December, it is an ideal time to pause and reflect on all that has transpired over the past 11 months.

Taking Stock and Embracing Stillness

If you, like me, still have a few unfinished tasks on your list of ‘Things to do in 2025,’ which you may have written around this time last December, consider taking a moment to pause. Allow yourself a deep breath, or two, and enter into a still, mindful awareness of the present moment. In these pauses, we create space for the extraordinary—whether you call it miracles, coincidences, or simply blessings. The act of stepping back and being present can often lead to wonderful and unexpected outcomes.

Celebrating Accomplishments and Practising Gratitude

While there may still be tasks waiting to be completed, it is important first to appreciate all that you have accomplished so far this year. Recognise the privilege of what you have been able to do and experience. For a change, perhaps just this once, let go of thoughts about anything you are not grateful for. Instead, focus on the people, moments, places, and experiences for which you feel true gratitude. When you dwell on these, you will discover an abundance of good and wonderful things to reflect upon.

Allow your thoughts and feelings to linger in gratitude throughout the rest of today, and carry this same sense of thankfulness into each day left in 2025. By embracing a space of gratitude, you open yourself to more—more of everything that matters. Gratitude is the key to unlocking success, health, peace, joy, life-expanding relationships, healing, and hopefulness. Let this attitude accompany you as the year draws to a close and welcome all the possibilities that gratitude brings.

A PRAYER FOR 2018

When we think that we have been denied, abused, ill-treated, taken for granted, then, we either go low or set an intention to rise above.

When we go low we allow toxins to build up and multiply inside our system, clogging the arteries and shutting out the light, we lose our spark and illness ensue.

Whilst in our rising high, we invite the good endorphins to activate, sending messages across our systems to wake up, we become alert and highly motivated.

Steer your course to excel, to stay afloat, to stay awake.

Extend the wings of your imagination, the doorway to the heavenly realms of infinite possibilities. And step out into the open portal of self-forgiveness, and feel into the healing falls of divine grace and beauty, allowing it to bathe your senses.

That this is all there really is, and here, surrender into this truth by letting go. Risk joy, it is possible. Risk rest, It is possible too.

Inhale deeply, and with your consciousness, of every fibre of your being, hold that breath in gratitude, for as long as you can, then, on your exhale feel yourself rise. Now say, “and so it is” – and so it is. Amen.
