2024 Reflections and Celebration and 2025 Intentions

Goodbye 2024! 2024 was another great year for Rhythmic Roots Music Services, LLC! As always, thanks to all of the clients and community providers that I connect with that make my job so amazing.

Last year’s word was “Hope,” which I felt like I needed going into 2024 and in many ways still feel like I need it going into 2025. I think that Rhythmic Roots manifested “Hope” as best as it could in the services I provided to the community and the intention that became stronger by the end of the year of leading groups with the goal of cultivating resilient joy.

While I still think hope is needed and will continue to be a value at Rhythmic Roots, I have decided to move forward with a new word this year: “Gumption.” This word resonates with me in a way where I want to have the confidence, courage, and initiative to serve the community and my clients as well as look as what music could be created and stepping up to realize the dreams of Rhythmic Roots. I am excited for what is to come this year and hope to have the gumption needed. Happy New Year!
