As we step into a new year and a new season, I can honestly say this: I don’t know exactly what to expect—and for the first time, I’m okay with that.

There was a time when I greeted every new year with excitement, armed with long lists of goals, declarations, and resolutions. I knew what I wanted to change. I knew what I hoped for. I believed this would be the year everything shifted. But after many years of making resolutions I didn’t keep, something in me grew tired. Not bitter—just honest. I stopped making New Year’s resolutions because I wasn’t following through, and I didn’t want to keep promising myself things I wasn’t prepared to sustain.

Instead, I chose a different approach.

December became my month of release.

Rather than pressuring myself to become someone new overnight, I began cleaning out the things I no longer wanted to carry—old habits, unhealthy patterns, limiting beliefs, and emotional clutter. I used December as a reset, a sacred pause, a season of preparation. I began intentionally replacing bad habits with healthy ones, and little by little, I could see the change happening—not just outwardly, but within.

What I’ve learned is this: transformation doesn’t start on January 1st. It starts the moment you decide to let go.

So now, as I stand at the doorway of a new year, I’m not waiting for fireworks or perfection. I’m waiting for growth. I’m waiting to see the seeds I planted in faith begin to rise—seeds in my businesses, seeds in my marriage, seeds in my family. I’m believing for a healthy marriage, joy-filled moments with my children, and a life that doesn’t just look successful, but feels whole.

And the truth is, the work didn’t start in December. It started long before. The prayers, the effort, the uncomfortable changes, the choosing discipline over convenience—it’s all been part of the process. December simply sharpened my focus and reminded me that becoming a better version of myself is a daily decision.

This year, more than anything, I’m open.

Open for God to have His way in my life.
Open for growth I didn’t plan.
Open for blessings I didn’t see coming.
Open for transformation that goes deeper than goals.

If you’re entering this new season unsure of what to expect, know this: you don’t need all the answers. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is show up with faith, obedience, and a willing heart. Let God do the rest.

Here’s to becoming—not through pressure, but through purpose.
Here’s to letting go, planting seeds, and trusting the growth.
