I don’t do traditional resolutions because they’re rigid, disconnected from real life, and often lead to burnout. Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Life changes too quickly for one-size-fits-all goals. A word gives me flexibility. It allows space for creativity, grace, and growth across seasons that don’t stay the same for long. My word for 2025 was ROOTED, and it showed up everywhere — in my health, my faith, my consistency, and my decision to finally build systems that support my life instead of fighting against it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/cb5cd9a8-110d-4bad-a9df-153a14acd748/%E2%80%9CRooted+Notes+%5BBlog+Title%5D+%2810%29.png The Rooted Journal - The Power of a Word: Letting a Theme Shape Your Year - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/39e6550a-899c-4dc7-af55-42de23021cdd/Quote+1+%2821%29.png The Rooted Journal - The Power of a Word: Letting a Theme Shape Your Year - January of 2025 marked yet another attempt at prioritizing my health — but this time was different. I hired a personal trainer who listened. I was honest about years of yo-yo dieting, health complications, and the reality of trying to care for a body that had been through a lot. Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Since 2014, my body has carried me through pregnancy, nursing, cancer, major surgeries, chemotherapy, and recovery. I don’t share that to dwell on it — I share it because in October of 2026, I’ll celebrate nine years in remission, and that perspective changes everything. https://www.confidentlyrooted.com/confidentlyrootednotes/3-things-im-letting-go-of-this-holiday-season-and-maybe-you-need-to-too monthly 0.5 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/4c962542-0726-4f4b-838e-ace68b0fa6bd/Quote+1+%286%29.png The Rooted Journal - 3 Things I’m Letting Go of This Holiday Season (And Maybe You Need To, Too) - 2.

So this year, I’m choosing something different— a slower pace, a deeper breath, and a reset that actually feels doable. Not perfect. Not intense. Not “new year, new pressure.” Just rooted. For me, that looks like: checking in with myself morning and night drinking my collagen choosing small habits instead of giant expectations setting boundaries before the month gets loud reading my Bible with intention taking care of my skin even when I’m tired choosing joy on purpose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/df3d99ca-f14c-44b0-b3a9-3677cfca0986/December+Blog+1.png The Rooted Journal - The Calm Before the Holiday Chaos: Why I’m Resetting Now Instead of January - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.confidentlyrooted.com/confidentlyrootednotes/when-life-doesnt-go-as-planned-and-why-im-not-quitting-my-reset monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/60d9151e-b53a-4bb9-9643-525cd38b9a02/%E2%80%9CRooted+Notes+%5BBlog+Title%5D+%282%29.png The Rooted Journal - When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned (and Why I’m Not Quitting My Reset) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.confidentlyrooted.com/confidentlyrootednotes/my-90-day-reset-why-i-started-and-whats-changing monthly 0.5 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e792a38740be70ce0e3419/bd5ebe8c-b8b1-4f02-8db2-0381de68ea32/Quote+1+%282%29.png The Rooted Journal - My 90-Day Reset: Why I Started and What’s Changing - What’s Changing?
