Day 8 of 2026-One Week In

 Hi Friends,

One week into 2026, how are you feeling?

The start of a new year always carries a mix of excitement and pressure. New goals, fresh intentions, and that quiet voice asking us to “get it right” this time. But a week in, this is your gentle reminder: progress matters more than perfection.

If you set health goals this year how’s that going? Have you moved your body, even a little? Chosen rest when you needed it? Nourished yourself in ways that feel supportive, not restrictive? Every small effort counts more than you think.

And if things haven’t gone exactly as planned, that’s okay too. One week doesn’t define your year. You’re allowed to reset, adjust, and begin again any day, any moment.

So check in with yourself today. How is your heart? Your energy? Your mindset?

2026 isn’t asking you to be flawless. It’s asking you to show up, one step at a time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 7 of 2026- Happy Mid Week

 Hi Friends,

Happy midweek! I hope your week is going well so far and that you’re finding moments to enjoy yourself, in one way or another.

One of the great things about starting a new year is the reminders that show up at just the right time. Today, I came across this quote:

“Your path is at your feet whether you realize it or not.” — Agnes Martin

What a powerful thought. Your path this year is literally beneath you. Every step you take matters. Going to the gym when you don’t feel like it. Choosing to meet with people who uplift and support you. Showing up for your goals, even in small ways. Every action places another stone on the path you’re creating.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the big picture or unsure about where life is heading. But this quote reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come first movement does. You don’t need to see the entire road ahead. You just need to take the next step.

Keep moving forward. Trust that each choice you make is shaping where you’re meant to go.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 6 of 2026- Good Day

 Hi Friends,

Just wishing you a good end or a good start to your day wherever you’re reading this from. The beginning of the workweek can feel overwhelming. There’s usually a lot going on: emails piling up, deadlines staring back at you, and that familiar feeling of trying to catch your breath before the week really begins.

But take a moment to pause. Friends, we can do this.

We’ve been here before. We did this last year at the start of the year, and the years before that. We figured things out then, one task at a time, one day at a time and we’ll do it again now. You don’t need to have everything perfectly planned or solved today. Progress, not perfection, is what matters.

So go easy on yourself. Take things step by step. They add up more than you think.

You’ve handled hard days before, and you’re stronger for it. This week is just another opportunity to show up, try your best, and keep moving forward.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 5 of 2026-Monday Motivation

 Hi Friends,

As we begin this workweek, here’s a little motivation to kick-start your first full week back at work and into your regular routine.

“Discipline morphs into habit.” — Twyla Tharp

Getting started and staying disciplined may feel difficult this morning, and that’s completely normal. The key is to show up anyway. Choose discipline, even when motivation is low. As you push through this week and the next few, those intentional choices will begin to feel easier. Over time, what once took effort will become habit and that habit will carry you forward.

Start small, stay consistent, and trust the process.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 4 of 2026- Hello Sunday

 Hi Friends,

I came across this quote today:

“Saying farewell is also a bold and powerful beginning.” — Aron Ralston

And it feels especially fitting for a Sunday.

Sundays aren’t just the end of the weekend, they’re a pause. A moment to reflect before a new week begins. As we transition back into a full week after the holidays, take today to do three intentional things.

First, reset your mindset, especially if you’ve been out of routine for a while. How you use today shapes how you show up tomorrow.

Second, think about the powerful beginning waiting for you this week. New weeks don’t start with pressure they start with possibility.

And third, say the farewells that are necessary to things, habits, and even people that no longer serve you. Not every goodbye needs to be spoken out loud or said to someone’s face. Some farewells are quiet, internal, and just for you.

Because sometimes, saying goodbye isn’t an ending at all. It’s the quiet start of something stronger.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 3 of 2026- First Saturday Of 2026

 Hi Friends,

There is something meaningful about the first Saturday of the year. It feels like a quiet reset before life speeds up again. Not a moment for pressure or big promises, but a chance to be intentional with how you begin.

This weekend is a great time to put up a few new habits. Not the kind that overwhelm you, but simple ones you can actually enjoy. Maybe it is starting your morning slowly. Maybe it is planning your week with clarity instead of stress. Maybe it is moving your body, reading, or creating space to rest without guilt.

At the same time, this weekend is also about taking things down. Look at what did not work for you last year. The habits that drained you. The routines that felt forced. The ways you kept saying yes when you needed to say no. You do not have to carry those into another year just because they are familiar.

Like decorations, habits can be seasonal. You are allowed to take them down when they no longer fit your life. Use this first weekend to notice what supports you and what weighs you down.

Put up what helps you feel grounded. Take down what does not. Let this weekend set the tone for a year built with intention, one small choice at a time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 2 of 2026- Taking It Down

 Hi Friends,

So today, while I was running a few errands, I noticed that many of the Christmas decorations were already coming down. There was something a little sad about it another reminder that the holidays are over. But almost immediately, I realized how temporary that feeling is. Before we know it, the year will fly by, and those same decorations will be going right back up again.

As I thought more about putting decorations up and taking them down, it struck me how closely this mirrors our own lives. Every year, we carry things with us habits, thoughts, responsibilities, expectations, and even emotional weight. Some of it serves us, and some of it doesn’t.

So here we are, on January 2nd. This is your reminder that it’s time to take down what you’ve been carrying from 2025 that no longer serves you. The stress you normalized. The doubt you allowed to linger. The habits that drained you. Just because you “put up with it” last year doesn’t mean it deserves space in the new one.

Like decorations, some things are only meant for a season. Take them down. Pack them away. Or better yet, let them go completely. Make room for what brings clarity, peace, and growth because what you choose to carry forward will shape the year ahead.

What are you ready to take down?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
