I’ve been thinking a lot about energy lately. As the new year begins, I’m struck by a deep sense of flow and alignment within myself—a feeling that 2025 holds immense possibility. Yet, as I look outward, it’s impossible to ignore the turbulence of the world around us.

On the surface, these seem like contradictions. How can my inner world feel hopeful while the outer world feels chaotic? We’re surrounded by so much divisiveness, separation, and “us versus them” sentiment. Natural disasters are increasing—not just in frequency, but intensity. Economics, addiction, homelessness, and so many other challenges weigh heavily on our communities. It feels like we’re in the middle of a collective storm.

And yet, I can’t shake this uplifting energy I feel—a sense that something new is on the horizon. At first, I wondered if this was just personal. Could my world feel aligned while everything around me felt so challenging? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized: maybe it’s up to those of us who feel this spark of hope and possibility to amplify it.

Isn’t that what setting intentions, offering prayers, and manifesting are all about? Grounding ourselves in hope and vision, then radiating that energy outward. If we add the power of community, the clarity of our thoughts, and the boldness of our imaginations, we might begin to shift the collective energy around us.

For those caught in the heart of the storm, imagining a way out can feel impossible. We shouldn’t ask them to. Instead, we can offer them something simpler: an invitation to stand with us in the eye of the storm, where the air is calm, and a moment of reprieve is possible. When enough of us gather there, holding space for possibility, we can expand what’s possible together.

If, like me, you feel the glimmer of something new ready to be revealed, hold onto it. Nurture that inner knowing. Share it, even quietly, with those searching for a break from the chaos. Send out a silent invitation for others to join.

And if you feel as though you’re being swept up in the storm, listen for the call coming from within the whirlwind around you. It may seem faint at first, but the more you tune in, the clearer it will become. There is calm within the storm, waiting for you to find it.

Something new is ready to be created. Let’s answer the call, step into the possibilities, and help it materialize. 2025 is going to be a great year. Together, we can make it so.
