Keep or Cut for 2024↓

Dear Wholly Living Community, Happy 2024!I think the years are passing more quickly than ever with our little one growing and all the family and work activities that take up our days, months and year. Thank you for being here and a part of this community! I'm so excited for what's in store in 2024. I'm not much for "new year's resolutions" but I enjoy picking a word or two that I can set my focus on throughout the year. Every year, I spend the whole month of January and most of February, mulling over and reflecting on the past year and thinking/feeling into what the coming year will be. Some years I lay out the methods with which I will focus on that word/phrase, but in 2023, I needed a little less structure. My words for the year were "open and connect." I thought the year was going to be about new opportunities and re-connecting with friendships and some of it was. But this year was also about re-connecting with myself and my values and the purpose I feel God has given me. It was about recognizing the ways that I have ignored parts of myself and needed to re-attune myself to those things again. Some years, it's hard to figure out what to keep or what to cut at the end of the year. Here is my list for this year so far.

Your words become your life: choose wiselyI love picking a word for each year. Recently, I reposted on IG a set of words to help get the juices flowing. Find one like it at the button below and let me know if there are any that stand out for you.
I like to pick a word that reaches beyond where I'm at right now, but also takes into account the continued healing I need (i.e. my past year/life). It is a great way to subconsciously bring about change. Sometimes it involves:
Every time I pick a word or phrase, that word starts showing up EVERYWHERE! And I'm constantly drawn back to my intention behind selecting that word. I also find that my brain starts to be drawn toward things that bring that word to life in my heart and mind and then, in my life. It is often in ways that are unexpected and surprising. Try it! Let me know what you pick and how you think it's going to show up in your life! I'll keep you posted on the word I pick. A peek at our holiday seasonFrom Advent activities to holiday travel and winter break with my husband and daughter home, December was a blur of love, joy, connection, meltdowns (not always the toddlers'), tears and leaning into the deep dark of waiting in the winter. It was highlighted by visits with friends and family (and Santa), light peeping, making gifts for neighbors, and shopping with my daughter. I hope your holiday season was lovely and imperfect in all the best ways too! Take care, my friends. May 2024 be full of the blessing and wonder of living more wholly....more of you in the world is always a good thing. And if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to reach out. Much love, Tiffani |

Dear Wholly Living Fam, August is here I have been trying to send this email out since August 3. It is now the middle of August and, here we are, just now getting this out. I have been managing loads of change this month and didn't realize how quickly the days were going by and this slipped through the cracks. With that said, there are a lot of good things coming!

Dear Wholly Living Fam, Happy July!! I learned a new hobby this month -- crosstitch! I grew up learning how to embroider. It was something my maternal grandma taught me. She made baby blankets and quilt squares, so I was happy to learn something new that would use those skills. It felt like a way to honor her. We have a family member who is having her first baby and in our family, that means a crosstitch quilt where each family makes a square and one of the aunties puts all the squares...
Wholly Living Coaching and Consulting May 2024 It's June and the world seems on fire! ↓ Dear Wholly Living Fam, The last month has brought so much to our world... and our hearts, if you're anything like me. The news has been a torrential downpour of pain and suffering and strife around the world and even in our area of the world. It is normal to feel overwhelmed by all that we hear and read about in the world. It is normal to feel helpless or like we are not doing enough. It is normal to feel...
