Dear 2026 ✨

I know I'm a little late with this letter, but at least I'm writing it... and to be completely fair, the aliens should've been here by now, but whatever. Over the past few years, your younger siblings have not been so kind. I feel like they've had a lot of lessons to teach (and they were probably necessary) but still! I'm just a girl and I think they got me confused with a John Cena vs Hulk Hogan match.

Anyways! As I fully walk through the doors of this year, I trust that you, God, his favor, mercy, and grace will continue to guide me...(Mostly God, but you play a vital role too.) This year, with God and his baby boy at the forefront, I'll continue to grow in my heart and mind through this crazy life we've been blessed with; I know that every year we count the same days, sing the same tunes, and preach a never ending story of how things should be different.. however, this year...... this year we'll take the reigns of all the lessons we've been fortunate enough to recieve to use them to become even better than the years that have passed.

Although, somethings seem so redundant, I have to admit that we have more control than we'd like to let on. And even though life throws us curve balls and unexpected changes we'll (me, my 85 personalities, and whoever else that may find solace in this letter) trust God, his timing, and know that he doesn't make a move without his promise to us as a priority in his agenda.

So, if and when everything seems impossible and you want to give up -- look up and dig deep to find the tools that have been customized for your success, already embedded in you.

Let's have fun, work diligently, make new memories, and celebrate life!

We only get one.

... Read moreLooking ahead to 2026, I can’t help but feel a strong mix of anticipation and wonder about the journey to come. Each new year feels like a fresh canvas—offering us opportunities to learn, grow, and rewrite the story of our lives. From my own experiences, I’ve learned that embracing faith and trusting in a higher plan can provide immense strength during uncertain times. In particular, putting trust in God’s timing, as the letter suggests, helps me stay grounded when faced with unexpected hurdles or changes. One lesson I’ve found invaluable is recognizing that growth often comes disguised as challenge. Like the author mentions having '85 personalities'—an expression of inner complexity—many of us wear different hats and navigate varying emotions. That’s perfectly normal and part of what shapes us. This year, leaning on faith, patience, and self-compassion has helped me use these inner facets constructively, turning setbacks into stepping stones. Another key takeaway is the reminder that we possess customized tools for success already embedded within us. This resonates deeply. Whether it’s resilience, creativity, or compassion, these gifts can empower us. Personally, I’ve started journaling reflections and goals early in the year, which keeps me aligned with my purpose, boosts clarity, and motivates consistent progress. The author’s call to 'have fun, work diligently, make new memories, and celebrate life' captures the balance we all strive for. Life isn’t always about serious plans or results; sometimes, it’s about savoring moments and embracing joy amid the hustle. From organizing small get-togethers to exploring new hobbies, those experiences enrich our heart and mind. Lastly, the awareness that 'we only get one' life acts as a poignant nudge to live intentionally. In 2026, I plan to focus on meaningful relationships, deepen spiritual growth, and stay open to lessons the year brings—all while remembering to pause and appreciate the present. Overall, starting this new chapter with faith and mindful intention is empowering. As we walk through the doors of 2026, may we all tap into our inner strength and blessings, turning challenges into opportunities and making this year truly transformative.
