“New Year’s Eve”

/ Anne Dennish / Leave a comment

Tonight is a quiet night for me.

No big parties… no crowded countdowns… just me, a cozy corner, and a heart full of reflection.

Every New Year’s Eve, I skip the resolutions.

Resolutions feel like pressure—rules I’m expected to follow and promises I might break.

But revelations?

Revelations are reminders.

They’re the lessons I learned throughout the year… the truths that found me when I wasn’t looking… the little moments that opened my eyes and changed me without asking for permission.

So tonight, I’m writing down my New Year’s revelations:

💫 What I overcame

💫 Who I became

💫 What I learned

💫 What I’m finally ready to release

💫 And what I’m taking with me into 2026

This year taught me things I didn’t expect.

It broke me open in places that were meant for healing.

It surprised me with joy in moments I thought were empty.

It reminded me of who I am, and who I still have the power to become.

So here’s to a New Year, not filled with “fixing” ourselves…

but with honoring ourselves.

Here’s to the revelations that guide us,

the hope that holds us,

and the courage to step into 2026 with open hearts and gentle expectations.

Cheers to a quiet night.

A meaningful night.

A night of remembering and becoming.

Happy New Year’s Eve, my friends.

May your heart find the revelation it’s been waiting for. ✨

Wishing you love and light,

“A New Year’s Eve Poem”

I wrote this poem a few years ago and you can find it published in my book, “Each Breath Along the Journey.” My apologies for not posting it on New Year’s Eve but the message still holds true even after.

My wish is that 2025 holds magic and adventure for all of you, that the lessons your learned from last year hold true in this year and that all your wishes come to fruition.

Happy New Year! Happy 2025!

And thank you for your love, support, and for sharing your life with me. I am forever grateful!

Wishing you love and light,

“New Year’s Revelations 2025!”

(Here’s an excerpt from my book, “Each Breath Along the Journey)
Every year I notice that as the New Year approaches, people start talking about their “resolutions.” There are things they want to do and things they want to change in their life, so they make a list of “resolutions.”
I threw that concept out years ago because to me, resolutions were nothing more than making promises to myself that I couldn’t keep. They were goals for sure, but seriously, how many of us actually stick to those resolutions? I always tried, failed at some, then beat myself up for not doing what I had wanted.
So, years ago I realized that the only way for my life to change was by learning the lessons that life had handed me, by learning from my mistakes, learning from my experiences, and so I decided to have my “New Year’s Revelations!”
I ask myself some important questions throughout the month of December: What opened my eyes this past year? What did I learn about myself? What type of people are in my tribe? Am I taking care of myself and loving myself enough or giving too much of myself away? And what do I need to let go of that has no place in the New Year coming up and in my life?
These are the questions to ask yourself and answer honestly. You see, when you have those “revelations” about yourself and the year that’s about to come to an end, you take those lessons and truths with you. You begin the New Year with a better understanding of yourself, your life, your situations and the people in it. When you do that, the New Year will bring all that you want it to: love, happiness, joy, adventure, new beginnings, and new opportunities. The possibilities are endless.
Don’t put added stress on yourself by making “resolutions.”
Take the time to think about your “revelations” and begin the New Year in a positive light. All things are possible if you just believe in yourself!
It’s a good thing.
Wishing you love and light,
