Your 2024 has been delivered 💝

Hi Girlfriend,

As I sit in the New Hampshire house, my daughter is asleep, resting from not feeling well. Today was supposed to be Day 8 of ski training, but her body told us otherwise.

I’m a go-go-go person—stopping is not something I do easily. But sitting here, I realize how little we actually control. So today, I’m taking a moment to remind myself—and you—to pause and give yourself grace.

Enjoy the season you’re in. Love yourself and others just as we are. Be thankful for what we have. Truly see the beauty that surrounds us. Our lives are made up of thousands of todays. Let’s appreciate this one.

As we close out 2024, I’m reflecting on all the moments spent creating confidence and all that’s to come.

This year hasn’t been easy, but I’ve shown up. I’ve pulled myself off the couch, driven through traffic, and put myself in the rooms that future me needs to be in. I’ve volunteered, raised my hand, and made sure I’m part of the conversation because that’s where opportunities begin.

No one said this would be easy, and no one said it would happen overnight. It takes time, self-will, determination, and the overwhelming desire to make things happen. I’m doing this for myself, by myself. No one’s opening doors for me, and no one is cheering me on. I’ve had to believe in myself fully because I know I deserve to get to an even better place than I am today.

And here’s why I’m sharing this: to show you that it can be done.

We all have hopes, dreams, and goals. But here’s the truth: taking action is up to you. Every single day. You go even when you can’t see the finish line or where the road leads. You trust your heart, your will, and that voice that says, “Keep moving.”

So before this year ends, I ask you to pause and ask yourself honestly:

What do you want in life? What makes you happy?

Put that goal right in front of you. Put the blinders on. And do everything in your control to get there.

Here’s a New Year’s Eve question to ask yourself: Do you like what you see? Are you happy where you are? If the answer is no, then do something about it.

Because how many more New Year’s Eves do we get? How many more are you going to make empty resolutions that you’ll never keep? You are the main character in your life. When you look at the end of next year, what do you want to see differently?

Start going there today. It’s NEVER too late.

And as I look ahead to 2025, I’ve been thinking about my word for the year. It’s hard to choose just one because so many resonate, but here are a few that capture where I’m heading:

• Align – Connecting goals, actions, and opportunities into one vision.

• Elevate – Rising to new opportunities and taking confidence to the next level.

• Expand – Pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons.

• Illuminate – Shining a light and inspiring others while leaving a lasting impression.

• Impact – Creating meaningful change through work, relationships, and personal growth.

I’d love to hear your word for 2025—what will guide and inspire you in the year ahead?

So, as I wrap this up, I want to say I love you very much, and we have work to do. Let’s go. The time is today.

Happy Holidays,

Tamara
