Every year, in the week between Christmas and New Year's, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the year ahead. This ritual of looking back—of naming what has happened and feeling the weight of its impact, and dreaming big about the new season, can bring freedom if you let it. Whether you are longing to escape a year that left you battered and bruised, or if you’re ending it with a sense of deep gladness, possibility, and hope, the act of reflecting can help you move forward in the new year with purpose. This book is a culmination of reflections, rituals, and open-ended questions you can use to help look back and look ahead in the new year. It is a vulnerable yet brave invitation to you, dear friend, to head into this coming year with vulnerability and bravery.
