January 2025


Rachel Writes


Spending time with family over the holidays reminded me of the beauty of embracing the basics. Sharing stories, laughter, and simple moments together brought a sense of grounding and joy. A recent New York Times article captured this idea, emphasizing the importance of grounding ourselves in what truly matters—simplifying, prioritizing, and making space for what’s meaningful.


This year, let’s embrace the power of getting back to basics. Whether strengthening relationships, honing core skills, or simply carving out time for rest and reflection, focusing on essentials can bring clarity and momentum. Starting from this foundation opens the door to more purposeful growth and genuine progress.


Here’s to a year of simplicity, focus, and meaningful strides forward—together, one intentional step at a time.



Warmly,

Rachel
