Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

I hope you had a great weekend! As you know, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Arizona for a retreat to kick off the Integrated Wealth Advisor certificate program I am participating in over the next eight months.

The level of excitement and energy I felt during class confirmed that the IWA is exactly what I am supposed to be doing this year with my time...
Social media continues to show me why I am less and less drawn to spend time on it–I’m working up the courage to bail on it, with the exception of using it to distribute content and document life on IG for my Self. I saw a post saying that J. Cole is the most performative hip-hop artist, trying to convince everyone that he is humble. SMH. For those not familiar with why someone would post this, J. Cole, who happens to be 1.b in my favorite artists (with 1.a Kendrick Lamar), just released his...
I love the Olympics; I prefer the Summer Olympics, but I’ll still watch the Winter Olympics, and I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of days because of an individual who has quickly become the star of the show. I think it’s safe to say that star Alysa Liu. Coming into the Winter Olympics, Alysa’s story of stepping away from skating due to burnout and a lack of enjoyment in Beijing was well documented. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t following the ice skating world between the Olympics, so I...
