I feel like I am just arriving in the energy of 2026; it took a little longer than usual to land here. I needed more time to process and reflect on the year past and to get clarity on what I want and need to welcome in this coming year.
2025 was full of adventure and travel - from Mexico to BC, French River, Quebec, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. I got to scratch an itch and visited some of the most magical landscapes I ever could have imagined.I deepened my connection with nature and honoured my growing desire to immerse myself in the lake, the forest, and the mountains.
It was a year full of family and friends, laughter and tears, rewards and challenges, trust and surrender.
It was a year of saying ‘yes’ to new opportunities and saying ‘no’ to people and habits that drain my energy.
It was a year committed to building a home for community medicine and the birth of Cedar and Sage Wellness. A journey that was both exciting and vulnerable, urgent and slow moving, uplifting and exciting while also eliciting fear and doubt along the way.
A year committed to getting stronger physically and rekindling ties with an old love interest of mine...running. Meeting friends both new and old, on the trails and the boardwalk, for conversations and connections that fed my soul. It was full of the buzz and rush of life with kids activities, concerts, races, competitions, recitals and all the stuff that makes my heart swell. I played the role of chef, chauffeur, cleaner, therapist, good cop, dog walker, bad cop, ND, community builder/member and all of these roles, a reminder that life is in full swing. I feel blessed. It was an incredible year. It is a beautiful life.
Navigating this busy and beautiful life with ease and grace, is often where I struggle. Overwhelm is my go-to emotion. The urgency at times, can make me feel on edge. The pace sometimes costs me my peace.
.
My intention/focus/practice for this coming year is to find more moments for pause, to call in more moments of presence, to embrace the buzz as a gift and above all else to stay connected to peace. 🕊️ ✨🧘🏼♀️
Cheers to 2026. What are you welcoming in this year?
