Happy New Year! Ideally everyone reading this Substack woke up today a Hotter, Richer, Smarter and Happier version of whoever they were in 2023. I hope you’re all in a far away land with minimal WiFi, wearing, drinking and eating something fabulous.
Reflecting on a year is always weird. It’s no secret that growth is never linear. My own pattern of broadening my horizons is typically 2 steps forward, 3 steps back, a few sleepless nights, followed by some sort of realization that for a split second gets me out of my own head- rinse and repeat until one day I wake up somehow launched into a new reality with a fresh set of agendas and obstacles to tackle. I’ll speak for myself, but between the economy, the internet, and my own unrealistic expectations, I often feel tremendous amount of pressure to do more, more and MORE…whatever that means.
Earlier this week I reread a list of goals I wrote last year around this time, all things I wanted to accomplish over the next 365 days. Of the 20+ tabulation I had only crossed off a few. For a second I felt like shit, before realizing that I am in no way the same person who wrote that list 365 days ago. You can analyze this a million different ways, but to me I go back to one of my favorite quotes: ‘The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.’
Of the many things I learned this one year, the one thing that held true is how much I love writing this newsletter. It is my Northstar when everything else feels in my life feels diabolical. Thank you so much for subscribing and believing in my writing- it means the world.
Wishing you all a beautiful New Year. 2025…Let’s get this BREAD!
Xx,
Grace
