From Vision to Reality: My Words for 2025 and How to Choose Yours | Over 50 & Flourishing

[@peggyduncanbaggenstoss5380]

I have a friend that sets an alarm for 3:16 everyday. At that time She stops and prays John 3:16 for all lost people she knows and doesn’t know. I now do the same. In Sunday school class in 1976 a lady said as soon as her feet touch the floor she starts thanking Jesus for allowing her feet to touch the floor and all the other blessings she has. It took a few years for a young self to get in this habit. I’m 71 and many days I stay in gratitude conversation with Jesus. Friends use to laugh when I’d turn in a faucet and say “Thank you for safe running water”. I explained in South America, China and some other places I’ve visited I can’t do that. There I need to be mindful not to drink or use the faucet water. Each moment of breath I take is a gift from God worthy of being Thanked for.

Last year started a holistic health journey for me (mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically). I will continue much of what I did in 2024. I will write three words this year: Assertiveness, Surrender, and Grace. assertiveness because I have been shy and passive all my (52) years of life. surrender because God needs to be my number one person. and grace because I need to give myself the same grace I give to others.

[@peggyduncanbaggenstoss5380]

Daily I pray over my Prayer Box , which I have had since 1990. Each year I write out my plans/ dreams for the new year and put it in the Box to pray over. One of my Spiritual Gifts is serving others. I ask for my eyes to be open to opportunities to serve others. It’s amazing the opportunities to serve when I open myself up to go and do what God has planned for me. Keep the videos coming ❤️

[@bonniemcferrin2044]

Love this, I feel as if I am in a period of service to my family & others and when I read the Word it reinforces that Jesus was all about servitude✝️

[@ConnieGMarie33]

I also wanted to mention something that my grandmother always told me, and that is, " Keep looking up! Something good is going happen. "Keep your eyes on Jesus" I want to hold these beautiful words of encouragement close to my heart and mind! And share these words with others!

[@jayalexander6798]

Oh, I am so happy to have YOU fully back, not sharing you with any other competing entities. I LOVE your new life, your husband and your wonderful relationship full of joy, laughter and love, your friendship with Courtney, constant presence of Audrey. You shine integrity and composure and I never have enough of it. THANK YOU.

[@tuyetvu152]

Balance has always been important in my life. My dad taught me balance. He said enjoy life but do everything in moderation. He said even good things in excess are not good. I feel very uncomfortable when i am not in balance. Boundaries - i discover this 3 years ago and i have to say it makes a big difference in my life. Boundaries solve many problems for me such as there is a line where i don't cross over and don't allow others to cross over. Even if my intention is good, but if I cross over the other person's boundary, my action will not be appreciated. Boundaries provide space for everyone involved, and sometime we have to stand up and say NO you are crossing over to my space so Stop. We tend to take care of everyone and have little time for ourselves. We should take care of ourselves first so we can take care of others around us...

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. 20 The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen..." Isaiah 43:18-20 As one prone to regret, this is a favorite! ♥️

Thank you!!! Amen! Agreed we must change our culture of anger, hatred, visceral verbal assault! I have been an innocent victim of it myself! Just shaking my head thinking, why?!! What brought us to this point. Praying for our world and our culture and our immediate life space. Be kind. Be a helper. Do the next right thing. I pray for a kinder, softer, world. Stay kind.

I feel so bad for the children today. I read this...when children learn to de-value others, they can de-value anyone, including their parents. How sad.💔

[@cathyellis767]

My 2025 intentions are peace, joy, love and gratitude! Health is wealth. LET GO AND LET GOD is my mantra!

[@EmergencyRescueEducation]

Dominique I am really in support of you waking up with your husband and doing devotionals with him and being able to have your sacred time with him before you both go to bed. I believe that also keeps the marriage spiritually guarded

[@janetotto9321]

God has taught me that He works in the circumstances (boundary lines) of my life and to watch for His hand. "Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." Psalm 16:5,6

[@joettaharris5112]

Dominque I truly appreciate all of the content you offer and the sponsors you select. You provide so much quality to this space. Having lost my husband Feb 1st of 2023 I believe the Lord led me to your podcasts and I'm so grateful He did. I always look forward to each video you make. Your words of encouragement, empowerment, sharing makeup, fashion, family, friends, home and life in general have been such a Blessing. Yes, I can see why you refer to this as your "passion project" because you put your heart and soul into every podcast you do. Thank you for all you do for this community. My prayers are that 2025 will be one of the best years ever and I pray the Lord will send me the husband of my dreams!

[@SunflowersandSunshine22]

Hi Dominique ❤️ My intention words for 2025 are MINDFUL & BALANCE. I always try to be grateful for everything in my life. When I pray for my four grown sons, I always include MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. So important to me. Always enjoy your podcast and videos. Be Bold and Blessed ❤

I pray Philippians 4:19 over my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Shalom Dominique and Courtney❣️I was feeling sad that 2 daughters didn’t call me on my birthday yesterday. I read my Bible this morning and the Lord gave me words of comfort and understanding. He is such a loving Daddy. 👑❤️Having asked Jesus into my heart helps me through the hard times in life and He gives me such joy in the visions He gives me of Him and I together🥰❤️🙏🏻❤️👑

[@ConnieGMarie33]

I remember years ago, that you had made a statement in regards to something you were needing to make a decision on, and you said hmmm " what would Audry do?" I love that! Whats funny is, there are times I ask myself " what would Dominique do? Because you're such a inspiration too me! My word is perseverance!

[@ConnieGMarie33]

Also wanted to mention that to keep looking up , something good is going to happen. Keep looking up to Jesus. This is what my grandmother always told me. I want to keep this in my heart and on my mind daily!

[@Dmb903]

If you live your life each day with the intentions you mentioned, along with gratitude, a spiritual well being and vulnerability, you don't have to have the pressures of renewing yourself each year. Look around and be thankful for your life right now. Be thankful for your family, friends, health and your home. Nothing lasts forever.

[@s.q6350]

Dominigue, you are a perfectly beautiful person, not only outwardly, but also in spirit. I get your energy. It's a loving and very gentle energy. You make me feel so many beautiful things. I love you very much ❤

[@angeliaspinkluggage]

Thank you for sharing this!! My 2025 intentions are gratitude, declutter and organize.

[@Deder111]

God bless you Dominique, this has been very refreshing I so agree with so much of what has been shared . For this year of 2025 I am going to be intentional about boundaries , not being responsible for what’s nots mine, reading the Bible in a year is my intention , the word of living waters . I agree hurting people hurt people . Focusing on my positive thoughts. There is so much cynical in our world today .

[@kevinquiambao6573]

everything about ma’am dominique is so beautiful and healing. i was advised to surround myself with high-quality people and you’re on top of it. God bless the bold and beautiful blessing that you are. I mean everything good I say.❤

Hi from Annie in Australia. You look great love the hair and the denim jacket too. My word for this year I think is "TRY" I am gonna at least try things even if may not feel that experienced with it but will at least give it a go.

[@gailsnodgrass568]

Estrangement of family members had not only changed my life but had put me in contact with others going through the same or similar. One common thread with all of us is that estangement is worse than a death . I would love to see this topic addressed on your platform.

[@bobsmith-fl2uj]

Happy for your Happy 🤩 which shines thru in everything you do. Blessings to you for inspiring so many of us in different ways. The beauty thru your teaching and the love that you share thru your faith returns you in many ways. I attended your Plano talk with my bestie and she loved it also. I purchased Jesus Calling for her and relatives out of state so we can all share inspiration and faith together and you brought that to so many people. It's priceless. I look forward to more talks in the future if you have them and your podcasts and you tube. Thank you

This was a fantastic video!! Thank you for the inspo at the start of the new year! My word for 2025 is Focus. Don’t look back, don’t pick up what God has released from my hand…. Just Focus on the today and the future and all that encompasses. God bless you and Courtney! ❤❤

[@amytowle7727]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful podcast, Dominique. I will be thinking about my thoughts and improvements I can bring to the new year. I like your husbands daily graditude reminder. Thanks for making our world brighter & better. ❤

[@DonnaAlyse10]

one of my goals this year is to be in the YouVersion app every day. I'm in a group that's going to be reading through the Bible in a year, and that's been a big help because i get a push notification when someone comments, which reminds me to do my reading if i haven't already. lately, it's been what i listen to on the way in to work in the morning. I also want to work out more this year and focus on maintaining relationships and not letting anyone slip through the cracks.

[@aliceinwonderland8078]

If you can't play nice then you don't get to play (people need to exercise TACT)...we need the "wind" in our lives....use boundaries like a drawbridge.....I appreciate these perspectives..thank you yet again for very thoughtful content Dominique. This year I want to manifest Jesus more in my servitude and not myself. A blessed year ahead to you and Courtney🙏

[@EstelaHooper]

Thank you for your sweet reminders. Today my husband had 4 by passes. Not easy for him and for us. Keep doing what you do. We need to get reminded What you do goes way beyond what you can see.❤️

Thank you so much for today’s podcast. You were so very encouraging . One of my words for this year is faith over fear! I have to get an operation in February . I get scared when I think about it. Today you were talking about courage and strength and it really helped me! I have been following you for years and I just love you and Kourtney!!!

[@marilynlouise4988]

Thank you Dominique for a beautiful podcast. You are so right to fight for bullying. As a grandmother tears flow when I hear how much my 7 year old granddaughter is bullied at school. So much so that my daughter wrote a book called’The Magic of being different’ and gave a few copies to her school. It’s horrifying to see how this evil behaviour has escalated through the years. Thank you for your strong voice on this platform

[@lisetteyang189]

Hi Dominique. Happy New Year! Thank you for having your podcast. I love your work. Please keep up the wonderful work you do here. You inspire me. I’ve had anxieties of aging since I was 35yrs old.

Thank you Dominique for this inspiring podcast and all the amazing work you've done in 2024! Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year filled with exciting adventures. Yes!! I’d love to hear a future podcast on starting a new business during retirement. I’m leaving a 26+ year career at 60, moving to the Atlanta area, and forming an LLC as an international business consultant. Exciting but a bit daunting, especially navigating this transition before Medicare age. It would be great to connect with other women starting new ventures during this stage of life-so much to share and learn. Looking forward to all you’ll bring in 2025!

I would love a follow up on how you are doing on your keywords maybe in 6 months or every 3 months? I like this much better than resolutions. Having a motto or a mantra is more flexible and I think a great start.😊

[@eminaemi7854]

My Words for 2025 Boundaries. This year, I will honor myself by setting and maintaining boundaries-with the people around me, with unhealthy habits, and even with my own thoughts when they lead me astray. I will learn to balance relaxation and activity, creating a rhythm that supports both healing and joy. Bonding. I will deepen the connections that matter most-to the people I love and, perhaps most importantly, to myself. I will nurture relationships built on trust and care, fostering moments of shared laughter, understanding, and growth. Peace. I will embrace inner peace by releasing the weight of past traumas, forgiving myself for old guilt, and finding calm amid the stress of work and life. I will create space within for serenity, clarity, and the quiet confidence to move forward. This is my vision for 2025-a year of healing, connection, and balance. ❤

[@lisamondo1738]

I really liked your podcast this week. I have a question and please don’t take it the wrong way but when did you start becoming so “holy”? I’m asking because the last year or 2 you’ve been sharing you faith with your audience. Year ago when you started you tube didn’t hear you mention your faith at all. Don’t misunderstand I think it’s great but did you always feel this connection to God and if so why haven’t you talked about in the last 10 years. I’m just curious because I think and I’ve seen once people reach a certain age all of a sudden they talk about their faith and in earlier years never heard a word. Thank you.
