A generation ago, burial was the default and cremation the exception. Today, the roles are rapidly reversing. By 2035, 80% of Americans will opt for cremation over burial, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. That’s a stunning figure, considering that just 55 years ago, onl...

New Year Momentum

The first week of a new year carries a unique kind of energy. It is a time when intentions feel fresh and possibility feels close. The choices you make now can help set the tone for the months ahead.

Taking even one step toward your care planning goals can create lasting peace of mind. That step might be starting a conversation, reviewing an existing plan, or learning more about your options. Progress does not have to be overwhelming to be meaningful.

You deserve comfort, clarity, and agency at every stage of life. Building momentum now allows you to move forward with confidence, knowing your values are honored and your voice is respected.

Today opens the door to a new year and a fresh beginning. January 1 invites us to move forward with intention, carrying the lessons of the past while making room for possibility and growth.

As 2026 begins, this is a gentle reminder that caring for yourself includes thoughtful planning, honest reflection, and meaningful conversations. Small steps taken today can bring clarity and peace long before they are ever needed.

Wherever you are starting this year, may it be grounded in compassion, connection, and hope. From all of us at Guiding Sol, we wish you a steady and meaningful start to 2026.

As 2025 comes to a close, we pause to honor everything this year carried. The moments of joy. The lessons that stretched us. The losses that changed us. The strength it took to keep moving forward.

Tonight is not only about counting down the seconds. It is about acknowledging how far you have come. Every experience from this year has shaped who you are stepping into 2026.

As we usher in the new year, may it bring clarity where there was uncertainty, peace where there was heaviness, and space for honest conversations about what truly matters. A new year offers an opportunity to live with intention, to plan with care, and to hold one another with compassion.

From all of us at Guiding Sol, we wish you a gentle close to 2025 and a hopeful welcome to 2026. May the year ahead meet you with steadiness, purpose, and grace.

As the year comes to a close, we are invited to pause and reflect on the moments that shaped us. The joys that lifted us. The challenges that changed us. The quiet lessons that stayed with us long after they passed. Each experience has played a role in who you are becoming.

Tonight is an opportunity to set intentions that reflect love, clarity, and connection. Intentions do not need to be grand. They can be as simple as choosing to communicate more openly, to care more gently for yourself, or to plan with thoughtfulness and honesty.

Planning ahead is not rooted in fear. It is an act of purpose and self respect. It allows you to live more fully in the present, knowing your values and wishes are understood. As you step into the new year, may your intentions guide you toward peace, presence, and meaningful connection.

Preparing for the New Year

As we step into a new year, preparation can be one of the greatest forms of self care. Advance care planning is not about anticipating the worst. It is about creating peace of mind and protecting what matters most.

A helpful place to begin is with a simple question. What is one thing you want to feel more prepared for in 2026. Your answer can guide meaningful conversations, thoughtful planning, and clear decisions about your future care.

Choosing even one small step today can bring reassurance and clarity. Preparation is an act of care for yourself and for the people who love you. Guiding Sol is here to support you as you begin.

Today holds many emotions. While some gather around full tables, others are carrying quiet spaces in their hearts.

We honor those who are away from home today serving in the military, responding as first responders, or caring for others through health care and essential work. Your absence is felt, and your sacrifice is deeply appreciated.

We also hold space for those whose loved ones are no longer here. For the empty chair at the table. For the traditions that feel different now. For the names spoken softly, or not at all, because saying them still hurts.

If today feels joyful, may it be full and warm. If today feels heavy, may you know you are not alone in that weight. Grief and gratitude often sit side by side, especially on days like this.

From all of us at Guiding Sol, we are holding you in compassion today. May Christmas meet you exactly where you are, with gentleness, love, and understanding.

Tonight we honor Noche Buena, a night rooted in togetherness, reflection, and care. It is a time when families gather, stories are shared, and love is felt in both quiet and joyful ways.

Whether this evening is filled with celebration, remembrance, or gentle moments of rest, may it bring peace and comfort to your heart. May presence be your greatest gift and connection your greatest blessing.

From all of us at Guiding Sol, we wish you a calm and meaningful Noche Buena.
