Before we say goodbye to these 12 months, as the chapter starts anew, let’s take a look at some of my thoughts, before I get fully into my reflections in January.

My 2025 New Resolutions – 12 Months In…

Goooood afternoon πŸ‘‹

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the start of 2026, which will be here before we know it 🀯

That actually segues into the theme of this year’s blog nicely, as we’re going to be taking a look at how I’ve done with my goals for 2025, as there are only a couple of days left in the year. So, without further ado, let’s take a look.

“I didn’t even realise you had a stutter”

My friend Francesca said this to me while we were co-working last Friday, and honestly, things like this make more of a difference than we even realise at first. We’re going to be taking a closer look at this today 🀝

Good morning πŸ‘‹

How are you doing lately?

Good morning πŸ‘‹

How are you doing today?

Good afternoon πŸ‘‹

Your content makes a difference…

Good morning,

How are you doing?

I’ve been creating on LinkedIn and here on Sweeney’s Blogs for over six and a half years now. While doing this for such a long time teaches you more lessons than I could begin to share in one post, I wanted to talk about one in particular with you all today.

Having something to look forward to

Good evening πŸ‘‹

I wanted to write about something a little different for you all today.

A nervous return to podcasting?

Good afternoon πŸ‘‹

Last Sunday, I filmed my first podcast episode in five years, which is a bit crazy, if I’m honest. While it was a slightly scary thing to do at first, we’re going to take a look at how it all went and how I prepared for it in today’s blog.

What will you do with the rest of 2025?

Good morning πŸ‘‹

Hope you had a lovely weekend and are excited for whatever it is that this week has in store for us.

I talk a lot about time on the page and how we have to make the most of whatever life has in store for us. I’m quite an introspective person, and it’s something I thought I would bring into today’s blog for you all.

Alzheimer’s – We can all make a difference

Good morning,

I hope everything is going well with you lately πŸ™‚

September is coming to a close, and with it, this year’s World Alzheimer’s Month.

Throughout the past few weeks, I’ve shared stories of my Nana, reflections on music and memory, and thoughts on how we can all raise awareness for Alzheimer’s and dementia. As this month comes to an end, it’s so important that we keep these conversations going, which is exactly what we’ll take a look at in today’s blog.
