Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I hope you're having a wonderful week so far. Quick Update from me - over the past few days I haven't really been feeling very well. Both Luke and I have been sick this holiday period and I've basically lost my voice. I am hoping that I am on the mend though and can get back into regular vlogs and blogs very soon.
Anyway, with that being said, last year I wrote a blog post "24 Predictions for 2024" and then we recently took a look back at them in my post "Looking back at my 2024 Predictions - did anything come true?" So with those in mind, I thought we could do 25 predictions for 2025 from a social scientist (that's me). AND, maybe if my voice comes back in the next few days I can make a vlog too! I will update this post if I do so. #predictions #2025predictions
