A nod to 2024 and tips for 2025

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Friends! 2024 has been a wonderful year and I am grateful for all the wonderful moments I was able to collect with my husband, family, and friends throughout.

Thank you for reading Life Noticed. The posts I share here are among my favorite works I share out into the world, and your readership matters to me a great deal. Sharing about habits and mindset and keeping an illustrated journal and nature journal have added so much more life and meaning to these many moments, and sharing these moments with you...and in turn, hearing from you, has been a joy.

As we head into the last week of 2024, I am preparing for the year ahead with lots of reflection, writing, meditation, and planning.

Many of us enjoy making plans for the new year, setting goals, and declaring New Year's resolutions. Here are a few articles I've written on the subject of goals and habits which might be of use to you as you set your own goals for the year ahead:
