Welcome 2025!
I'm grateful for another New Year, a blank slate to try and make a difference in the world. Here are three thoughts as we begin again:
1. A Tradition I Keep Every New Year's Eve
I grew up in the Philippines and every New Year's Eve, we always assembled a fruit bowl of at least 12 round fruits. They symbolize abundance and wholeness and aren't these the things we wish for the New year to be?
Now that I live in the U.S., I keep the tradition and I have enough fruit to start the year with healthy eating...TADA!
How about you, what are some of your New Year's Eve traditions?
2. A New Journal
As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, I use a Bullet Journal for productivity, list making, and recording memories.
This year, I have a new one:
It's a logbook of the books I've read...TADA! It's a Muji Notebook and the cover is made of scrapbook paper and an embroidery stencil kit.
I write the year on top of the page and make a list of titles and authors. Of course, I could gild the lily by rating the books using stamps like this one and this one.
It encourages me to track the books I've read and include reading in my daily schedule...TADA!
3. A Prayer to Start the Year
Whether or not you practice your faith, here is a blessing that I'd like to share:
May we be steadfast during the ups and downs that this year will bring and may our positive attitude turn our blahs to TADAs!
