I loved reading this glimpse into your year, Kayla! I feel like so many annual recaps I've read were written as brief lists, but taking the same to really share and illustrate the important parts of your year is a beautiful practice. Your Sabbath Fridays sound so restorative and necessary as a busy business owner and creative. Here's to a restorative start to 2025 – I hope you're feeling great about it 🤍

I love this, Kayla! I started reflecting more on the small “good things” in 2024 and I want to carry that into the new year—even if it’s as small as chili on a rainy day or having a meal plan in place for the week.

Kayla! This recap was such an encouragement to me. I love how even though it was a hard year, you chose to reflect on 2024’s blessings. I’m also excited to hear more about your Sabbath Fridays in future essays ❤️ And by the way, there’s no shame with having The Office on repeat! 😉

I'm so glad! It takes a lot of conscious effort not to dwell in hardships, but gratitude always helps us reframe our greatest challenges. I hope you're able to continue reflecting throughout the next few months on everything you've conquered with Christ in the last year. I admire your strength and courage so much. I can't wait to share about my Sabbath Fridays soon, and thank you for understanding my love for The Office!
