Closing out 2025: Take a well-deserved pause

2025 is on the way out and it has truly flown by, but at times felt like a slog and each week felt as though it was a month long. But thank goodness the sun rises and sets without fail, and each day follows with its own fresh perspective and new opportunities. The year has had its share of hardships and disappointments, but also some tremendous successes!

For December, I invite you to pause. Pausing gives time and space that is so scarce these days. That space allows for reflection on the past, as well as allowing you to spend time thinking about what you’d like to do next. Pausing gives you room to breathe and the ability to focus on the present moment. In a world that is so focused on what is coming next, be sure to take a moment to just breathe, to be thankful for where you are, where you’ve come from, and for the potential of the future.

Thanks for your work in so many areas this year. Celebrate yourself and each other. 2026 will come with unique challenges but additional opportunities and you are the right team at the right time to see us through to the other side. Enjoy your friends and family and some well-deserved rest this holiday season.
