As we arrive in December, I find myself reflecting on the guiding intention that shaped my 2025 workbook: Elevating 2025—Energy, Growth, and Becoming More. When I launched this guide back in January, my message was simple yet powerful: If it is to be, it is up to me. This became my compass throughout the year, a reminder that who we become is built not in grand gestures, but in daily decisions, habits, and MO’ments rooted in purpose.

This year invited us to elevate our energy, stretch our growth, and step boldly into the process of becoming more—not because a calendar told us to, but because our potential called us forward. The workbook encouraged you to look at your life, your health, your learning, and your leadership through a lens of possibility. To choose vitality, embrace challenge, and honour the person you are becoming.

Now, as 2025 winds down, I want to remind you of something essential:

There is nothing magical about January 1st.
The magic comes from you.

You don’t need a new year to recommit to yourself. You don’t need a Monday to reset. You don’t need a resolution to give yourself permission to grow. These final days of 2025 are fertile ground—an invitation to finish the year not with pressure, but with presence.

Instead of waiting for a symbolic fresh start, ask yourself:

• How can I become more today?
• Where can I re-align my energy right now?
• What small action would move me closer to my next-level self?

This is how you close a year with intention: not by hustling to the finish line, but by choosing one aligned step at a time.

And as I look toward 2026, I feel a new chapter pulling me forward—one that will include reinvention, renewal, and redefining what “next level” means for me personally and professionally. I haven’t found my word for the year yet, but a few are whispering to me:

Reinvent. Evolve. Rise. Reimagine. Liberate. Illuminate.

Each carries the spirit of where 2025 has brought me—and where I feel called to go next.

Perhaps one of these words speaks to you too. Or perhaps your word is waiting patiently for you to slow down just long enough to hear it.

My encouragement to you is this:

• Finish 2025 with intention, curiosity, and gratitude for how far you’ve already come. 
• Step into 2026 not with pressure to reinvent everything—but with the courage to reinvent what matters most.

Here’s to closing with purpose, stepping forward with clarity, and becoming MO’re—today, tomorrow, and in the year ahead.

Happy holidays, Mo
