OMG Katie, thank you for writing & sharing this with us! This is the heart space where I'm at too right now. Your 2025 is beautifully SHAMELESS. Mine? What I've keenly felt growing up as a child and was MADE to feel ashamed about: STUBBORN Maybe it'll change but for now this sits just right with me. To be stubborn and just create and dream and love and celebrate myself & others and share... ❤️

Wow, STUBBORN is a beautiful word for 2025! I got called "stubborn" a lot as a kid too. Funny though, because I think fair synonyms for stubborn include tenacious, dedicated, willful, determined, and persistent. All incredible things to be!! Here's to a SHAMELESS and STUBBORN 2025 ❤️

I have reread this multiple times and have forwarded it to friends. You are so right. Such a waste of energy to hold on to those negative thoughts
