My word arrived quietly a couple of weeks ago late in the afternoon on a Wednesday. I always think I’ll choose the word, but it never happens that way. The word arrives deep in my bones…a bit of a whisper…until it becomes etched into my heart. Courage took me many places in 2025 and I’m trusting Open to guide me through 2026.

“You don’t have to say anything. You don’t have to teach anything. You just have to be who you are: a bright flame shining in the darkness of despair, a shining example of a person able to cross bridges by opening your heart and mind.” – Tsoknyi Rinpoche.

Open. Open-hearted. Open-minded. Open-to possibility. Open-to opportunity. Open-to change. Open-to new beginnings. Open-to trying. Open to the light and connection ahead.

May you be well. May you be loved. May you know peace. May you know grace this coming year.
