Finding My Soul in 2025: A Journey of Transformation, Purpose, and Expansion

As we step into a brand-new year, I find myself reflecting on what it truly means to be transformed. This isn’t about resolutions that fade by February or fleeting goals set to appease societal expectations. No, this year is about rediscovering my soul and embracing a word that resonates deeply: Transform.

Transformation

Transformation is more than change; it’s a shift that starts from within—a peeling away of layers that no longer serve me, revealing the essence of who I am meant to be. It’s about growing into my God-given purpose, honoring the gifts I’ve been blessed with, and creating a space where my soul can thrive in purity and peace.

“Letting Go to Grow”

To expand myself, I know I must first remove the weight of what drains me. Negative energy, toxic relationships, self-doubt, and fear—these are the barriers that have held me back from becoming my fullest self. This year, I choose to let them go.

I am learning that boundaries are not walls; they are pathways to freedom. By saying “no” to what doesn’t align with my purpose, I am saying “yes” to what does. This is not selfishness—it’s self-preservation. It’s allowing myself to grow by nurturing the good soil within me and pruning away what stifles my growth.

“Filling My Cup”

Fulfillment, I’ve realized, isn’t found in external achievements or fleeting moments. It’s something far deeper—an abiding sense of meaning and alignment that comes from within. To foster that fulfillment, I will focus on filling my life with what matters most: my faith, my creativity, and my connection to those who uplift and inspire me.

I will continue to pour love into my creations—whether it’s the healing blankets I craft, the hats I knit for those in need, or perhaps something new. This year, I’m feeling inspired to expand my creative ventures, exploring ways to craft unique home décor and refurbished pieces that breathe new life into old treasures.

Expanding

Stand Above the Rest”

This year marks an exciting opportunity for Stand Above the Rest. What began as a passion for creating unique blankets has become something much bigger: a celebration of creativity, compassion, and connection. As I step into 2025, I’m dreaming of ways to take it further.

I want to explore crafting expansion—creating not only blankets but also meaningful home décor that adds personality and warmth to any space. Refurbishing furniture, designing handmade decorations, or even crafting one-of-a-kind pieces for the home could be part of this journey.

With extra time for reflection, I’ll listen for that still, small voice that whispers new ideas into my heart. With a wide-open mind and soul, I’ll embrace these possibilities, trusting that they’ll align with my purpose and help others create spaces that feel as personal and pure as my own.

“Creating a Place of Pureness”

This year, I want to build a sanctuary for myself—a place of pureness where my spirit feels safe to dream, grow, and simply be. It’s a space free of comparison, negativity, and pressure. Here, I can manifest the life I envision, rooted in faith and authenticity.

This sanctuary isn’t just physical; it’s emotional and spiritual. It’s found in the quiet moments of prayer, the stillness of creativity, and the embrace of those who truly see and value me. It’s in the strength of standing above the rest, not out of pride, but out of a commitment to living my life boldly and purposefully.

“A Year of Transformation and Discovery”

As 2025 begins, I am stepping into this year with open hands and an open heart. I am ready to release what no longer serves me and to receive all the blessings that await. I will honor my gifts, live in alignment with my faith, and embrace the journey of becoming who I was always meant to be.

This isn’t just a year of growth; it’s a year of claiming all that I have manifested. I am stepping boldly into vibrant health, flourishing wealth, and unstoppable success. The seeds I’ve planted in faith are blooming, and I’m embracing each step forward with gratitude and courage.

This year is about listening—to myself, to the stillness, and to God. It’s about making space for new ideas, embracing them with curiosity, and trusting that they will lead me to even greater fulfillment.

“Listen”


My word for this year is transform. It’s not about perfection but progression. It’s about moving forward, one step at a time, toward a life of meaning, purpose, and deep fulfillment

This year, I choose transformation. I choose growth. I choose me. And I choose to expand Stand Above the Rest as a reflection of that transformation—a place where creativity and love can truly stand above the rest.

Here’s to 2025—a year of finding my soul, living my truth, and venturing into the unknown with a heart wide open.

“Happy New Year!”

What’s your word for the year? Let’s transform together.
