A Rewarding New Year


Welcome to 2025! I can hardly believe it! Only God knows what will happen this year, but it doesn't mean you stop planning for your life.

Making a few little changes can make a BIG difference.

Here are some suggestions that can turn 2025 into a Rewarding New Year!

Routines - Developing routines can help your family stay on track. According to the National PTA (Parent Teacher Association) having a shared family calendar where you identify schedules, appointments or meetings can help everyone know what they are supposed to be doing.

Reach out - Everyone feels overwhelmed sometimes. When life seems to be out of control, ask for help. Be honest with your emotions. Speak with your partner, a parent, counselor or pastor or a trusted friend. If you feel you may harm yourself or others, please call The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 for help. It's available 24/7.

Retreat - We hear it all they time, "Take Time for Self-Care". How many of us really do it? There is nothing wrong with taking time for yourself. It may be going on a solo weekend trip to relax; enjoying dinner with your Girlfriends to laugh. Even taking a bubble bath, with music and your favorite beverage can be soothing.  Don't forget to lock the door so the family won't interrupt you. Ask your partner to watch the kids for a couple of hours so you can unwind.

Discover what will make 2025 the very best year for you!
