Finding Magic in the Quiet Between Seasons✨

By Jenna D’Annunzio

First, let me preface by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE! The last official day of 2025 is here, and that feels wild in and of itself, no? 

There’s something different about this stretch between Christmas and New Year’s. It carries a kind of magic that feels softer, slower, and somehow more intentional✨

Winter has a way of slowing everything down. The trees stand bare, the rivers move more quietly, and the days are shorter. Nature itself encourages us to pause, reflect, and rest and in that stillness, there’s a certain kind of magic.

The quiet of winter is both literal and figurative. Snowfall muffles sound, frost sparkles in the early morning light, and the air carries a crispness that invites us all to be mindful. It’s a season that naturally slows our pace, giving us space to breathe, to observe, and to be present.

Winter also offers a natural time for reflection and renewal. It’s an opportunity to close chapters, process the year gone by, and set intentions for what’s ahead. By embracing this slower rhythm, we allow ourselves to step into the new season with clarity, presence, and purpose.

In a world that often glorifies constant motion, winter reminds us that stillness is powerful, that slowing down is necessary, and that peace and magic are not distant ideas, they’re here, waiting for us in the quiet moments we choose to notice.

And as I watch my kiddos curled up on the couch, lost in a movie, the house being relatively quiet, I find myself here, doing just that; tying up loose ends, clearing mental clutter, and thinking deeply about what I want to carry into the new year. 

This isn’t hustle.
It’s stewardship.

It’s the act of finishing what needs to be finished so that the next season can begin with clarity, not chaos. It’s about honoring the work that’s already been done—and making space for what’s next. It’s allowing January of this new year to be intentional, purposeful and FUN.

Here’s to quiet focus, clean slates, and a new year that begins with purpose and presence.

Here’s to YOU, my friends, your 2025 successes and failures, as they made you the person that you are today. Here’s to ringing in this new year with gratitude, momentum, excitement and curiosity!

We have so many projects coming to you all for 2026 and I can’t wait to share them… SOON!!

As always, here for you…
