…in 2026:
Making mindful moments a daily habit.
Significantly shortening my multiple TBR (“to be read”) stacks.
Pouring into myself as freely as I do into those around me.
Investing in community with other creatives.
Feeling grateful…even when it is hard.
Believing there is more GOODNESS than hate in the world.
Running another marathon or ultramarathon (Please don’t ask me why ;)
Writing MORE again. (Any bets on how many books I might finish this year???)
Starting a vegetable garden.
Continuing to make my house the HOME I dreamed of.
Leaning into LIVING and LOVING at full volume.
Laughing with friends frequently.
Growing further into my SOFT ERA as a yoga instructor.
Exploring a city/state/country I have not visited yet.
Hearing and HONORING my own heart better.
Sharing delish meals with many people — in person and online.
Surviving another “teen year” as a parent.
Helping a new wave of writers make their book dreams come true.
Camping (or glamping) for the first time in over five years.
HIKING.
Squeezing in a proper bike ride (or two) this summer — or while traveling.
Maintaining my MILF status.
Protecting the HEALTH of my mind, body and soul.
Enhancing my mocktail mixology skills. (Oct.2 will be 3 yrs alcohol free for me!)
Looking for the small pleasures scattered throughout each day.
TRUSTING this too shall pass — plus maybe kicking a few a**es while we wait to speed up the process. ~Rachel
