2025 - year of the snake

Happy new year! In the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the year of the snake. I was also born in a year of the snake - 1989. The year of the snake represents wisdom, transformation, and intuition. It's also a time for growth, renewal, and creativity. The snake is known for shedding its skin, which symbolizes letting go of the past and embracing the new.

I’m not usually big on formal new years resolutions. However, I have been seeing a lot of snake imagery recently and another friend reminded me it is the year of the snake… I feel the snake has a message for me. I have been reflecting on areas in my life that feel stagnant. Where am I suffering in a loop? What needs to change? What does surrender look like for me at this time?

The last few months I have been practicing slowing down and resting more. I realized I hadn’t been spending as much quiet time with nature. So remember, if you do make a new years resolution, it doesn’t always have to be about doing more; it could be about doing less, or being more. However for those who need to push themselves by doing more, or pushing harder… I also commend you for that. It’s up to us to decide what’s best for us at any given time. And we’re always changing…
