Happy Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, LaWanna Parker,

Write, Reflect, and Rejoice: End the Year with Gratitude and Purpose

November 08, 20251 min read

There’s something magical about writing that never gets old. It’s not just pen to paper, it’s a heart-to-heart conversation with yourself. Some days, the words flow like a warm cup of cocoa on a chilly morning, comforting, smooth, and exactly what your spirit needs. Other days, it’s more like pulling taffy, slow, stretchy, and sticky. But no matter how it comes, the process itself is healing.

Writing has this quiet power to help us make sense of our thoughts, capture our dreams, and see how far we’ve come. It reminds us that even the hard days have purpose and that we’re constantly growing into new chapters of our story.

As this year winds down, it’s the perfect time to reflect.
Ask yourself:

  • What did I learn this year?

  • What moments filled me with gratitude?

  • What story do I want to write in 2026?

Don’t worry about being perfect, write. Whether it’s a sentence, a prayer, or a whole journal page, let your heart lead. Because when you write, you invite clarity, healing, and joy into your life.

And speaking of reflection and renewal, join me for my Year-End Christmas Retreat! It’s a cozy, faith-filled celebration designed to help you release the old, embrace the new, and step into 2026 ready to shine.
