happy new year

Is it too late to still say Happy New Year!:-). The children are back to school today and I slowly emerging from a very restful break. Unlike the masses who might be resetting for 2026, for me it feels like a continuation… You see, in 2025 was when i chose to reset; i took social media breaks, revived and expanded our garden and spent lots of joyous hours tending to that garden, started reading again, and was very intentional about being in the present moment when spending time with family and friends.

I even started my guitar lessons again, and I am so proud of my progress! Thus, 2026 is a continuation of these intentional habits. How about you? How are you embracing 2026?
