A Year of the Divine Vitality

Today is a special day. Exactly one year ago, on January 28th (thanks to 2024 being a leap year), I hit “publish” on a blog post for The Divine Vitality for the very first time.

I started this blog on a pivot, following a whisper from my soul that told me it was time to create something meaningful. A year later, I find myself in the middle of what feels like another pivot with the loss of my car and soon-to-be job. It’s funny how life works that way—cycles and shifts, leading us into new chapters even before we’re sure we’re ready. But today, as I reflect, I’m holding space for gratitude. For the journey. For this platform. For you.

January 27th, 2024 editing my first post.

When I started The Divine Vitality, I wanted to create a space that I once desperately needed. A sanctuary for those of us who have felt alone, confused, or like the weight of the world was too heavy to carry. Four years ago, I tried to leave this Earth. That version of me had no faith in anything, not in myself, not in the world, and definitely not in the idea that things could ever get better for me. It feels surreal to sit here now, writing to you guys, celebrating a year of something I never knew I could build.

This blog was meant to be a collection of reasons why I’m still here. Reasons to hold on. Not just for me, but for all of you. And as I sit with everything this year has taught me, I realize how much has shifted—both in this blog and in myself.

I can still see traces of the victim mentality I used to write from, and a big part of my healing journey has been learning to acknowledge and release it. The first year of The Divine Vitality reflected that energy in so many ways. I was working through layers of hurt and pain, and honestly? I’m naturally a complainer—and I was pretty good at it. For years, I lived in a mindset steeped in negativity, letting limiting beliefs and external energies call the shots without realizing how much power I was giving away.

While I’m not entirely free from those patterns, I’ve made real, tangible progress. It’s a lifelong journey, and I’m learning to honor the process instead of rushing toward some imaginary “finish line.” Perfection isn’t the goal—because it’s not even attainable. What this blog has taught me is that we don’t need to strive for perfection. We just need to be real—with each other and, most importantly, with ourselves.

As we step into 2025—my 9-year—I’m shifting my focus toward alignment and intention. I’m choosing to center my dreams and desires, the ones that genuinely light me up, while releasing the people, mindsets, and things that no longer deserve starring roles in my story. This is the year for dreams to come true, for desires to manifest, and for ease to flow through positive thinking and aligned action. Even though staying positive feels hard when life seems to keep taking things away, I’m holding tight to appreciation and gratitude.

I lost my car. This is my last week at my new job. And I wasn’t chosen for an overseas opportunity I deeply wanted and applied for last year. But even in the face of these losses, I feel immense gratitude. I’m grateful to be healthy and able-bodied, and for the nicer rental I’m driving in the meantime. I’m grateful I stood firm on being paid what I’m worth. And I’m grateful to have been considered for such a significant opportunity—it shows me that I’m getting closer to where I want to be. Most of all, I’m grateful for The Divine Vitality and the chance to celebrate something so meaningful today.

To the 241 of you who subscribe to this dream: thank you for showing up for me in ways I never imagined possible. For those of you who comment, like, and share my posts—you remind me that my voice matters. And to the nine of you who contribute financially—your support touches my heart more than words can express. Thank you, from the depths of my soul.

I’m endlessly grateful for my family, who have given me the space and grace to discover who I am and what sets my soul on fire. To my mom, my rock, who has stood by my side through my darkest seasons—thank you for your unwavering love. To my dad, who continues to inspire me with his wisdom and light—thank you for being my guiding star. To my stepdad and sister, who not only read my work but share it with others—thank you for helping me amplify this vision.

And to my friends, who uplift and pour into me, who remind me of my worth and celebrate my wins—thank you for being my chosen family. Through all of you, I’ve come to understand the beauty of chosen family, and that’s exactly what I set out to create with The Divine Vitality. A chosen family. A community built on love, growth, and authenticity. And as we move into 2025, I can’t wait to see this family grow and thrive.

As we embark on this new chapter, I want to affirm The Divine Vitality and its place in this world:

• May this space continue to be a sanctuary for those who feel lost, confused, or alone.

• May the words shared here inspire healing, growth, and transformation.

• May this community grow in love, connection, and purpose.

• May The Divine Vitality be a beacon of light for all who come across it, reminding us all of our inherent worth and divine potential.

To every single one of you reading this, thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for celebrating this milestone with me. Thank you for believing in this vision and in me. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: you are my chosen family. And as we step into this new year together, I can’t wait to see what magic we’ll create!

Here’s to a year of alignment, abundance, and divine vitality. Let’s make it unforgettable.

With all my love and gratitude,
Jordan McCoy-John💛
