12 Days of Dreaming

The Dreams

As the Winter Solstice approaches, it’s the perfect time to dream big and manifest your deepest desires for the year ahead.

If you’re participating in the 12 Days of Dreaming, I encourage you to start envisioning what you want to create in 2025—and then stretch your dreams even further.

Last year, my manifestation list included intentions like “Connect with community in a way that is nourishing and aligned with my greater good.” While fulfilling, this year I aim to amplify my vision and dream even bigger.

Here is a video that discusses Setting the Wishes:

I began by journaling an initial draft of my 13 Wishes. From there, I created the chart below to organize my ideas, listing my wishes in bold. I then reflected on the unique gifts I already embody and identified habits or limiting beliefs holding me back. This clarity helped me uncover how to step aside and let the universe align with my dreams.

This year, I’m also incorporating actionable steps for each wish to co-create with the universe. These steps help me prioritize what matters most, ensuring I actively contribute to manifesting my goals.

Below, I’ve shared my chart and summarized the priorities I’ll focus on in 2025 to make these dreams a reality.
