Welcoming 2025
2024 was a year of contrasts, filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Yet, through it all, I find myself deeply grateful for every moment and everyone who was part of the journey. As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to reflect on the lessons learned, the challenges faced, and the joy discovered along the way. From life-changing opportunities to quiet, often-overlooked victories, each experience has added depth and meaning to this chapter. Gratitude feels like the perfect way to honor the year that was while embracing 2025 with open arms. Let’s move forward with positivity, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The start of a new year is a chance to reset and realign with what truly matters. As you step into 2025, take a moment to reflect on your goals and values. What brings you joy? What challenges will you embrace to grow? Setting small, achievable intentions can make all the difference. Whether it’s journaling, creating a vision board, or simply taking a workout class to clear your mind, start with clarity. Keep in mind that the progress you make along the way is just as valuable as reaching your goals, and each step forward deserves recognition.
If you are looking to ring in the New Year in Miami, consider spending the evening at The Standard Spa, where you can enjoy a serene waterfront setting with live music and delicious cocktails, or head to Little River for an intimate celebration at Lagniappe, known for its laid-back vibe and fantastic wine selection. In NYC, skip Times Square and head to a cozy speakeasy like Please Don’t Tell in the East Village for craft cocktails, or celebrate with a midnight toast at the rooftop bar of The William Vale in Williamsburg, which offers stunning views minus the chaos. Both cities have endless options for ringing in the new year in a way that feels personal, festive, and meaningful.
As always, love and gratitude for all of those around me who inspire me daily to live the biggest life that I could create. As the saying goes, it’s not how you start but how you finish. I am endlessly grateful for the strength, love and peace that I feel ending 2024 and beginning anew in 2025. Cheers to the New Year!
