Can you believe another year is coming to an end?!?! One of my favorite traditions when a year is ending, is to do some reflection. So often we don't take the time to look back and celebrate all that we've accomplished, or acknowledge those things that didn't go as we'd like (while honoring the learnings that came with those experiences). If you feel called to join in, grab your journal📝 (or open your notes app) and consider the questions below: 🤔 When you think back, what do you immediately think of? 💭 What dreams came true? 🌱 What lessons did you learn? 🦋 In what ways were you transformed? ✨ What are you the most proud of? 🌸 What brought you the most joy? 🌟 What are you ready to release as we move into 2025? 🧟 What felt off? Not quite right? What could you have done to change them (if anything)? Then, take a moment to consider what your best and worst days were. What you celebrated/grieved. What were the most exciting/scariest moments? What places did you visit? What books did you read? What TV shows/movies did you watch? Who was your closest friend this year? What was your favorite meal/drink/restaurant/outfit? You get the idea. This can be as in-depth as you want it to be. 😉 Once you finish with your reflection... it's time to look forward! I love choosing a Word of the Year as a gentle guide for the months ahead. My word for 2025 is MOMENTUM. It literally popped into my head when asked, and it feels so aligned with my vision for Born to be Woo and our community. Ready to find your word for 2025? Here's some ways to brainstorm: 🎯 1. Listen to your intuition: What's the first word that comes to mind? (Sometimes our inner wisdom knows exactly what we need!) 2. Reflect on your desires: What energy do you want to bring in next year? What do you want to create? Are there certain qualities that you need to exhibit to get there? 3. Sit with it: Once a word comes to you, give it a day or two. Does it still resonate? If not, what feels closer to what you're seeking?

Wherever you are today, know that we're here. This Holiday, intended to celebrate all that we're grateful for, kicks off the Holiday season. 🍁 For some, this is their favorite time of year. For others, this time brings on stress and dysfunction. Wherever you are in your life, know that this little corner of the Internet is a safe place. 💫 I encourage you to pop in here to share how you're navigating family energy, what you're proud of yourself for.... pop in when you need support, or just to start up conversations and get to know others in the group. For me, I am extremely grateful. 🙏 I have a wonderful family. One that is very blended. At our dinner table today, we'll have my hunny, his son, my daughter, her boyfriend, my ex-husband, his 4-year-old daughter and myself. 💝 Being amicable with my ex was something I never envisioned when he and I split up 8 years ago. Yet, here we are. His daughter is a huge part of our lives (my hunny is just as smitten over her as I am!). 🥰 I'm also so grateful for my Mom (who lives in the Midwest) and my Aunt (my surrogate Mom here in AZ), all my friends, clients and networking groups. ❤️ This year has been an interesting journey, but truly, I am a lucky gal. It's taken years to get to where I am. Happy. Content. And best of all, Authentically Me. ✨ As you sit down at your dinner table today (whether surrounded by family, furries, or just the space that is yours), know that I am sending you gratitude, appreciation and wishes for a wonderful Holiday season. 🌟 I am here if anyone needs anything – in fact, we're all here. 💫 Pop in, say hello, make a friend, share a tip/a win/a special moment, ask for support, whatever you need in this moment. And finally, I'll mention... next week is December. The last month of the year (not sure how that is possible!). 🎄 I'll be putting some events on calendar to not only plan for 2025, but also to wrap up the last month of 2024 with some reflection and self-care. 🌱 As I wrap up this post, know that my heart is so full. 💖 Thank you for choosing to join me on this journey! I'm excited for what's to come!

Oof! I've been meaning to hop on here for awhile and then the day gets away from me. Especially so close to the Holidays, having a business rebrand in process, and a vacation in there somewhere. I'm sure you can all relate. 😉 I had something happen last week though that I've been meaning to share. It offers a great opportunity to introduce you to.... Zen Master Woo! 🧘‍♂️✨ He'll be our resident wisdom-keeper who finds profound lessons in everyday moments. Think Mr. Miyagi meets your quirky best friend. I hope you like him. 🫶 So here goes: I don't even remember what night it was at this point, but I was sleeping, deep in dreamland, when my hunny moved in a way that startled me awake. At this point, the cat that often sleeps next to me (the one that always has feedback and a Yelp rating to deliver) decided the movement meant it's definitely breakfast time and started her (often annoying) behaviors to encourage that outcome. 🐈 This started the whole process of trying to fall back to sleep.... trying to ignore her persistent requests... and trying desperately to recapture my lost dream. I found myself in an unexpected tug-of-war with letting go. I really wanted to escape back into that dream, yet the more I tried, the more it slipped away. It hit me then - here's this perfect little lesson about letting go, wrapped up in a middle-of-the-night moment. Sometimes the simplest things become our greatest teachers! The more I chased that dream, desperately trying to remember and return to it, the more frustrated I became. Yet the moment I accepted letting it go, I found a much more valuable lesson about attachment and release. As ZMW would say: "Ah, young grasshopper, sometimes the best wisdom comes when we stop chasing it. The dream that floats away often leaves a better lesson in its place."😉✨ What unexpected lessons have you discovered lately? Quick note: I'll be dropping an introduction to Zen Master Woo in the Questions category soon. You can wait or jump right in to ask him questions - he loves to impart wisdom. 😉

I realized that maybe I should post my get to know information: 🌟 I'm: ReNae Schramm - I go by ReNae Ione in my business (with an i) - this is my first and middle name. 💫 I was drawn to The Woo Space because: I love all things woo! 🎯 Right now, I'm working on: rebranding my business and launching this platform. Learning so much as I go! 🔮 My experience with "woo" is: (Beginner? Curious? Secret practitioner? Full-on wizard?) I would say somewhere between secret practitioner and full-on Wizard. I am very much a blender and love to use all kinds of Woo modalities. Optional Woo Details: 🌙 Astrology: (Sun/Moon/Rising if you know them) Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon, Scorpio Rising ⚡ Human Design: (Type/Authority if you know them) 4/6 Splenic Projector 🔢 Life Path Number: (if you know it) 11/2 🌈 Fun fact about me: I was born feet first the natural way. I always say I wanted to hit the ground running. 🤣 🎨 What lights me up: So many things! My two favorites are watching transformations and spending time with and adorable 4-year-old we get to watch often. 🎁 What I hope to gain from this community: I would love for this to be a community that feels safe and transparent. A place where we can be our authentic selves and if anyone doesn't know their true self, they're able to find the tools, resources and support to help them find their true self. ❤️
