I sat down to (finally) put together my vision board for the year, but nothing felt authentic to me. I looked at others for inspiration, but the goals envisioned within them were too lofty for me. I'm not looking to be a girl boss or travel the world in 2025. I do want to prioritize health and wellness, but that looks different on a 36-year-old mother-of-three than what Pinterest keeps recommending to me. After scrolling endlessly looking for the perfect quotes and images I had to put my phone down. I wasn't feeling excited about 2025 anymore.
I'm quite a nostalgic person. Nostalgia has been a recurrent theme here on my blog as you may have noticed, Reader. I love looking back on my years of growing up and experiencing what I can of them again, even more so with my own kids. We watch a lot of movies and television series from the 90's and early 2000's. I tell them stories about growing up with their Aunt Ashley and Uncle Don. I teach them lessons based on my past mistakes. I can only try my best to make my kids have a childhood that they will look back fondly on one day. And that's when I decided the theme for my 2025 vision board would be about bringing back the magic into life again.
My imagination used to be one of my favorite traits. Growing up, I didn't have the world at my fingertips so I had to exercise my imagination regularly and frequently. Little Kendra wouldn't want grown-up Kendra to live in a world void of magic. There's still so much that I can accomplish even if it took me 36 years to get started.
In 2025 I am going to:
/ focus on God, goals, growing, and glowing /
/ write a new story /
/ live as a beloved daughter of God /
/ consume less and create more /
/ pray about it, pray over it, pray through it /
/ focus on God's ability, not my inability /
/ be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger /
/ stop putting my life on hold because of how I feel about my body /
/ allow God to restore what has been broken /
/ dream as much as possible /
I am smart, worthy, strong, beautiful, and enough. I have all I need, my life is special, and I do have time to do amazing things! Good things are coming, Reader!
