I do not partake in New Year’s Resolutions, but I do believe that at the start of December I decided that I can accomplish the desires placed within my heart. Life and circumstances can cause us to stop believing, even in ourselves. I am deciding that this is the year (& 2026) I will not allow any dream or vision within me to fade. I believe that, as one friend stated, this will be the year (2026) of execution. All goals will be executed. 

I also just want to give everyone who reads this their flowers for making it through another year. Through all of the challenges, the good days, maybe some not so great, and every milestone in between, you made it, and I am proud of you. You kept going, and you saw the year through. This year has been crazy with things going on within the economy as well, and you made it. Maybe it may not be with a large bank account, but you are rich in life and love. We cannot take the money with us, and we should focus on the joys of life that we view as insignificant. Take a long look around your room, your apartment, your space, and maybe there are Christmas lights or a favorite picture or a plant, and just say thank you. There is so much to be grateful for. If you find yourself in a place of discontentment with your circumstances, start by counting your blessings. Begin each day by expressing something you are thankful for. 

This was a great year, and I believe that the next year will be better. One of the accomplishments I made this year was that I wanted to get my website up and running again. I do not know if I will keep things up for next year, but I am proud. I made big moves within my life and career. I am so excited for what is to come soon. I am also excited for you. Believing in better-paying jobs, maybe even quitting and doing what you were created to do, songs being written, books written, goals obtained, weight loss, sobriety, stable homes, experiencing unexplainable joy and peace, and more for everyone. Cheers to 2026. See you next year!
