I have been stepping into 2026
quietly….
in my slippers and fuzziest pjs,
hair in a messy bun,
contemplating what I want
for this year
between naps,
work, saunas and
watching the snow fall.

My word for 2026 is nourish.

I didn’t have to think hard about it this year.
Usually there is a list
and lot of pros and cons
and debating and changing of the mind…
but this year,
I know I need nourish.

I want to slow down. To savor.
To notice. To be present.
I want to be mindful of what
I am ingesting…not just food related
(but yes, I think we would all agree that should
be part of it, heh)
but also in every other way….
social media, relationships, tv/movies/music….

how am I spending the finite amount of time
I have…the days, the hours, the minutes…
what really feeds me, what makes me feel satiated.
What makes me feel calm.
What gives me butterflies in my belly.
But also, what calms my central nervous system.

I am not setting goals this year.
But I am focusing on some defined pillars and
adjusting my choices with these things in mind.

I just want to find some calm.
Some quiet peace.
2025 was hard. Harder than I ever fucking imagined.

I just need a little slow softness now.
