1st post of 2025 - Gratitude
Hello inspirations! Happy New Year! I feel like today is the last day I can say that since we are officially a week in. I hope you have had a good start to 2025, and if you haven’t I really hope it gets better from today.
As I look at the date of the last post on this blog, today is EXACTLY six months since I last shared anything - this is long overdue. Making time has been difficult whilst studying, working, and trying to handle the different challenges life has thrown my way, and escaping on social media, which I am now no longer doing since I am off Instagram & TikTok for a year. Though there was a lot to lament about in 2024, I am also grateful for so much. I am grateful for life, friends, family, and opportunities that have come my way.
On the PURSUE:INSPIRE front, I have had some productive fun behind the scenes. Here are 5 things I express gratitude to God for - queue Brandon Lake - Gratitude (the live version):
Three episodes of “Predominantly Prayer… and other things” were released. I would have loved more, but I am thankful for the ones that were recorded and released!
The “Hi Inspirations/Inspirational People” reels - they were fun to do, and glad they were encouraging to some!
Friends who helped me refine some of the language of the new website - thank you!
Photographer extraordinaire and good friend Glenda Robinson helped me really think about the core values of PURSUE:INSPIRE, which fed into the style of photos you can see dotted around this site. From receiving the pictures, which I just love, I was inspired to change the look of the previous logos to the current ones. If you need photos done, click here to see her rates, and also see here for more pictures which I will release slowly as I continue to share on here in the coming months (I have more that aren’t on this page hehe).
The mailing list sign-ups! If you’re here from the mailing list, heeeeeey! Thank you so much for joining the community. If you would like to join, click here.
I am currently working on a rhythm for posting as I want to delve more into the vision for this space, and also incorporate Music Mondays and Style Saturdays on here, talk more about Predominantly Prayer and get back to some people contributing posts on here too as I used to do previously. So much I would like to do, but I must be smart with my time. Keep me in your prayers ha!
I feel like I am waffling a bit now so I’m going to end this post here. Thank you for reading! God bless :)
P.s. let me know what you are grateful for in 2024 and what you are looking to in 2025 in the comments!
