As we stepped into 2025, I embraced the opportunity of having my first day back at Kahill Insights – Content Marketing coincide with my scheduled day off. This not unexpected break, gave me a chance to pause, recharge, reflect, and recalibrate and set me up for success. Considering, my start of 2025 has been filled with spiritual activities.
Welcoming 2025!

This break gave me a chance to
- Clarify my 2025 Goals. Align personal and professional objectives with my values and vision. I started on a vision board. I had never done one before. Reading Dream It. Pin It. Live It. by Terri Savelle Foy from TERRI SAVELLE FOY MINISTRIES motivated me to start on one. Not forgetting the first Lunch Hour session of the year by Worship Harvest Kungu’s Business Leaders’ Network that emphasised its importance.
- Rejuvenate Productivity. 2024 ended and 2025 started with some well-needed spiritual activities that made the day off a well-deserved one. I was able to refresh with the desired rest. I looked into my habits and routines that would enhance my performance of the week, months and year.
- Start the work year with Work-Life Balance boundaries and prioritizing self-care.
Now my 2025 intentionalities which are aligned with 5 capitals – Spiritual, Financial, Relational, Intellectual and Physical – are looking at things like
- Investment in my personal growth and skill development. I have already enrolled in the African Women Entrepreneurship Cooperative‘s entrepreneur essential, where I am revisiting my learning from 2022. Harvest Institute, Ug School of Practical Business and the Masters in strategic leadership that I am planning to apply for a scholarship.
- Experimenting and creativity.
- Resilience in digital marketing where strategies and tactics have to adapt and thrive amidst changing algorithms, market trends, platform updates, or unexpected disruptions. It has been more than 20 years since I was introduced to digital platforms. You can find more about this story in my book Make Social Media Work For You – The Art Of Social Selling. Purchase from these stores Amazon and Mahiri Books
- Nurturing relationships and networks – one needs meaningful connections to stay focused and grounded. My role as Director of Education and Training at Uganda Digital Society promises a foundation for this in my professional life. And my church continues to provide a wide range of relational capital to work with.
- Generosity and gratitude. With the abundance God has given, the need for sharing becomes a practice and habit to be horned.
With all that in mind, I returned to my office with a clear mindset that is ready to approach challenges with renewed enthusiasm. I have my priorities set and enough energy to run me through the week until my Monday break. This will be used for evaluation of the week’s achievements and setting new targets.
