I successfully drove another long trip with not too many issues, and that alone is something I pause to honor.

Eight days into 2026 and my diary is finally filling but not with chaos or obligation. It’s filling with things that feel aligned

The weather was moody four seasons rolling through in a single day. Sunshine breaks through clouds, the wind rises without warning, rain drifts in and then disappears.

Three hundred and sixty-five blank pages not to be rushed, perfected, or filled according to anyone else’s expectations, but written slowly, intentionally, and with deep respect for the body I live in.

2026 gets a different version of me rested, selective, and no longer available to people who are draining and confusing.

2026 doesn’t ask me to become someone new. It asks me to come home to myself.

I took a moment tonight to watch the sun go down on Christmas Eve, 2025.
Not in a dramatic way. Just quietly. One of those pauses where your body speaks before your mind catches up.

It’s time to honour what 2025 taught you and to intentionally choose what you want to carry forward

A year of unlearning, relearning, breaking cycles, and choosing myself in ways I never used to

Trust the process it’s something we hear so often it almost loses its meaning. People either swear by it or think it’s some “out there” mindset

No rush, no noise, no expectations just you, the beach, and the kind of peace you can’t manufacture anywhere else

It’s that time of year again Christmas parties popping up, end-of-year catchups filling the calendar, and that familiar feeling of everything slowly winding down.

It’s not very often I can get one of my kids out of bed now that they’re grown, my daughter and I headed to the beach for my usual Saturday grounding and coffee, in that quiet space before the world fully wakes.

Christmas is rolling in fast, and as the holiday break approaches, this is your gentle nudge to pause for a moment and breathe.

Between the struggles, the battles, and the limitations around my health, it felt like I was constantly fighting to stay above wate

Today didn’t look anything like my usual Friday and maybe that’s the part that saved me

Routines shifted, plans changed, and everything I’ve been holding together so tightly finally demanded to be felt. The emotional waves came in hard not to drown me this time, but to be processed, released, understood.

December is here a fresh page, a new chapter, and a chance to set intentions for the month ahead
