Every year, I choose a theme—a guiding word that shapes my mindset and movements. It’s not just a cute mantra; it’s an anthem. A vibration. A declaration of how I plan to show up in the world. And honey, 2025? She’s giving grit, grace, and a whole lot of get-it-done. This year’s theme came to me not in a moment of clarity, but through a season of heaviness, healing, and divine whispers. So let me tell you how we landed here…

I’ve been sitting with the question: What’s the theme for 2025 that defines my groove lately?After reflecting on the past few months—especially after losing my Grandma—it hit me. I remember choosing to sit in the heaviness. I wanted to stay in bed all day. I wanted to withdraw from the world. I wanted to freeze time, to not have to face another sunrise. I was ready to be a zombie for a while—and for whatever reason, I just… couldn’t.

Let me tell you something: the devil lingers in depression. I knew it when I stayed under the covers, wallowing in the darkness even though I knew I should be getting ready for the day. And then—I heard a voice. It said, "Get up" I can’t even tell you where that voice came from, but I got up. I moved. I slowly started my routine. And as I look back on that moment, it’s just more confirmation of how deeply connected I am to something bigger than me.

Whether it was God, my Grandma, or a divine tag-team—I felt a push I couldn't ignore. I am grateful. Grateful for being the chosen one, even in my grief. That moment became a quiet reminder that I still had life to live—and it was time to do just that.

Since that awakening, something shifted. My walk is different. My pace has purpose. I’ve been honoring my new angel with every step forward. My Grandma showed resilience until her very last breath. And between her and my mom—we come from strong stock. We are not built to fold.

So yes, I’m proud to say it loud:

I’ve been stacking wins through tiny, daily consistencies. I’m learning to love the process of persistence. I’m digging into the how of discipline—not just starting things, but finishing them. Completion is the new vibe and I'm proud to see it through.

This year is about fueling my growth, locking in on goals—even if some of them sound delusional (and that’s okay too!). My routines are evolving, and one of the biggest shifts will be replacing scrolling with living outside the phone. Whether I check in weekly, monthly, or quarterly, I’m committed to staying reflective without being self-critical. Progress isn’t always linear, but Tenacity means we don’t stop.

Less talk, more action. So I’ll leave it at that—for now.
