2026…. Many of you know I don’t do New Year’s resolutions.
I set intentions and usually pick a word to represent that intention. This year, I am choosing two words.
Appreciate and Allow.
What you appreciate, appreciates.
I want to program myself to see the good in anything.
To appreciate the small things so that they grow into big things.
To feed all the good in my life no matter how small it may be, and starve the negative. That doesn’t mean i ignore the hard, uncomfortable things or don’t feel the heavy or painful emotions. It means i don’t give them any power over me, my life, or give it meaning.
I will ALLOW peoples effort to wane, those who want to leave my life to leave, those who want to be active in my life to be.
I will ALLOW people to show me who they really are.
I will ALLOW things to be and not feel the need to control the outcome or force anything.
I will ALLOW myself to be where i am and know it’s by design.
I will allow myself to grow and evolve.
To be all of me. To advocate for me.
I set up a giant plastic container and a pile of sticky notes to fill with all the food that happens and I KNOW by next year it will be filled with all the moments that brought me joy in 2026 no matter how stupid or small it may seem, if it brought me a smile, peace, or joy it’s going in there.
Remember everything starts with intention.
What you focus on expands.
What you feed grows.
2026 feels like a massive year for me!
I am excited. Terrified. Ready.
