🥰Year of Yes !!
Hey, fam! I just finished Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes, and let me tell you—wow. This book has set the tone for my 2026! Shonda’s journey of saying yes has inspired me to reflect on my own recent yeses. One example? I agreed to join a friend at an event where I knew almost no one. Normally, that’s a no-go for me, but I went—and had a blast! I connected with a whole new group of amazing people. So here’s to more yeses, more growth, and more unexpected joy! If you haven’t read Year of Yes yet—maybe this is your first yes! “What have you said yes to this year? Share your story in the AGR Book Club Facebook group—we’re cheering for you!”

Saying "yes" more often can truly change your outlook and open doors to opportunities you might never expect. Inspired by Shonda Rhimes' journey in "Year of Yes," I've personally noticed how simply choosing to say yes to unfamiliar situations has enriched my life. For example, attending an event where I didn’t know anyone was initially intimidating, but it pushed me out of my comfort zone and led to meaningful new connections. In fact, many people find that saying yes encourages growth not just socially but personally and professionally as well. It can lead to new friendships, career breakthroughs, or even discovering hobbies and passions you hadn't considered before. The key is embracing the discomfort that sometimes comes with the unfamiliar, trusting that each new experience has potential value. If you're thinking of starting your own "Year of Yes," it helps to begin with small yeses—like joining a group activity, trying a new cuisine, or learning a new skill. Each yes builds confidence and shifts your perspective on life’s possibilities. Also, sharing your journey with communities like the AGR Book Club Facebook group can provide motivation and support as you embrace this transformative mindset. Remember, the essence of the "Year of Yes" movement isn’t about saying yes to everything indiscriminately—it’s about opening yourself to opportunities for growth and connection that you might otherwise decline out of fear or habit. Reflect on what you typically say no to and consider gently nudging yourself toward yes. You'll likely be surprised at the joy and unexpected experiences that follow.
