The New Year is a time for fresh starts, reflection, and setting goals for the future. Whether it’s personal growth, professional milestones, or deepening relationships, resolutions give us a chance to dream about what’s possible.

With 2025 just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about what resolutions my characters might make. Each of them is on their own journey, filled with challenges, dreams, and hopes for what lies ahead. Here’s what Grace, Tobias, Sigrid, and the rest of the gang are resolving to do in the year ahead!

Grace Morgenstern

Resolution: “This year, I will stop trying to fit into molds that were never made for me. I will embrace my unique gifts and trust that being true to myself is enough.”
Grace’s journey is all about discovering her inner strength and finding her place in a world that doesn’t always make space for difference. Her resolution reflects her commitment to authenticity and self-acceptance.

Tobias Michaels

Resolution: “I will balance my career with my passion for creativity and my connection to my roots. No more letting expectations define my choices.”
Tobias is determined to find harmony between his professional ambitions and his love for indie projects and theatre. His resolution reflects his desire to stay grounded in his Celtic heritage while pursuing his craft.

Sigrid Larsson

Resolution: “I will stop comparing myself to others and start focusing on what I really want—not just what I think I should want.”
Even Sigrid, with her polished exterior, has moments of doubt and insecurity. Her resolution hints at her potential for growth and self-awareness.

Rivka Morgenstern

Resolution: “I will look for beauty and joy, even in the small things, and remember that every moment is a gift.”
Rivka’s gentle and hopeful nature shines through in her resolution, reminding us all to find gratitude in the present.

Krystle Bennett

Resolution: “I will prioritize balance—success is important, but so is making time for myself.”
Krystle’s driven personality means she’s always on the go, but her resolution suggests a desire to find a better work-life balance.

Liam Russell

Resolution: “I will keep exploring the unknown, even when it scares me, and trust that there’s always more to discover.”
Liam’s curiosity and open-mindedness are his strengths, and his resolution reflects his love for learning and growth.

Rowan O’Neill

Resolution: “I will make time for the things that bring me joy—whether it’s art, nature, or quiet moments with the people I care about.”
Rowan’s resolution reflects his creative, grounded spirit and his commitment to nurturing both his passions and his relationships.

Closing Thoughts

Writing these resolutions for my characters has been such a fun way to explore their personalities and goals! As I continue writing The Second Coming of Grace, I’m excited to see how their journeys unfold in the year ahead.
