Reflecting on a Year of Growth and Gratitude

Writer: Carly JonesCarly Jones

As the year draws to a close, I find myself in a reflective space—taking stock of the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and the growth that has unfolded. This year has been a journey of embracing gratitude and practicing radical acceptance, two principles that have become anchors in my personal and professional life.


Gratitude for the Journey

Throughout the year, I’ve been reminded of the immense power of gratitude. In moments of joy and in moments of difficulty, I've leaned into faith. I am grateful for coming to the place where I trust myself enough to follow my intuition, and trusting my path. Reminding myself during hard times, that I once dreamt of this life, shifted my perspective and deepened my sense of fulfillment. I’m grateful for the clients I’ve had the privilege of working with, the opportunities to expand my sound healing practice, joining the Pungo Building, and the growth of our healing community. These connections continue to inspire me and reaffirm the importance of this work.


Practicing Radical Acceptance

Radical acceptance has been a transformative practice for me this year. Learning to accept life on life’s terms—not resisting and fighting the things I cannot change—has brought me (eventual) peace and clarity. This doesn’t mean passivity; it means acknowledging reality and making empowered choices from a place of alignment. Its understanding that sometimes all of the choices you have, suck. Whether it’s navigating challenges in my business or confronting personal fears, I've been motivated by this quote my friend shared, "choose your hard." This mindset has opened the door to confronting my shadows, leading to deeper healing and resilience.


Looking Ahead

As we move into the new year, I’m excited to continue growing this practice and sharing it with you all. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to launch a monthly newsletter to keep our community connected and inspired. Each month, I’ll share insights, tools, and practices to support your healing journey—from sound healing tips to reflections on mental wellness and self-discovery. I can’t wait to create this space for connection and growth with you.


Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Your trust and presence mean more than words can express. Here’s to closing the year with gratitude and stepping into the new one with intention, hope, and an open heart.

Wishing you peace and renewal.



All my love,

Carly xx
