Hello 2025
Wow! The first blog post of the year. Let me tell you something. I truly did miss you. I missed writing and I missed this blog. I wanted to wait until I redid the website to start posting, but I am not going to let perfectionism take over this year. I definitely will be giving Along Brooks Road a makeover though. It’s something about the new year that fuels my creative engine.
We are in 2025. I feel really good. How about you? It’s MLK weekend which means no school for me tomorrow. It is currently snowing and I have been resting and lounging around in my second favorite Marshalls set all day. To be honest 2024 was not a bad year for me. I learned a lot, unlearned a lot, healed in a lot of areas, delivered from so much, excelled at work, developed new relationships, but most of all I didn’t crumble! I stayed the course!!! God has done such a major work in me and it set me up for this tremendous season that God has me in. This year has started off with a major shift that I can not understand and to be honest with you I can’t pinpoint how I am feeling. I do know that I have complete trust in God, and I am in expectancy mode!
So, for all of you newcomers. Every year I share my word for the year. I wanted to add something and share my 2025 ins and out. Have you seen that trend that is on social media? I normally don’t participate in trends, but this one goes along with the personal development plan that I created. Being intentional on not doing certain things this year and being intentional on doing certain things this year.
I always seek God for my word and scripture for the new year. Doing this helps me gain clarity on what God wants me to focus on in the new year. It sets me up to know what God is requiring of me in this new year. It gives me direction on how I need to live out my life in the new year.
I have two words this year and they coexist together. My two words for 2025 are consistency and inspiration. God had to tell me that they work together because if I have consistency then I will be an inspiration for His kingdom. I haven’t started a lot of the blueprint given to me because of my lack of consistency. This goes far beyond my spiritual walk, but this is a lifestyle change. Living out consistency is for my mental, physical, emotional, financial, and occupational well being. Being a doer this year is how my life will change. I will break down my words in the upcoming vlog, but these two words are beyond important and powerful to me.

These OUTS truly need to go. I have been in these patterns and behaviors for a very long time and I mean over 20 years. I know it’s going to take a lot of work, but I'm committed to my own deliverance and freedom! You know during my Business Meeting With God, He specified a lot of things for Along Brooks Road. I am excited to get back to blogging and even vlogging once a month. He has given me a fresh wind of purpose and creativity. I wholeheartedly want to thank you for your constant support with Along Brooks Road. I will say that last year I felt very unfilled when to my Kingdom assignments. Yes, I am teaching , but I disregarded this blog. I know that this sift is truly putting me back in proper alignment. I am back in my own lane, and this time became of the work that was done in me; I am staying! I would love to hear your words for 2025U and your in’s and out’s for this year. Use the comment space below to share. I will chat with you all next week. Oh, make sure to read the other recent blog post The Bright Side and the Bumps: A Weekly Recap! I love you.
