January arrives as a quiet invitation, a chance to pause, reset, and imagine what’s possible without pressure or perfection. As 2026 begins, I’m holding space for fresh possibilities, some planned, some unexpected, and some still unfolding. Even in uncertain times, life has a way of reminding us that new beginnings can arrive gently and beautifully.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a time to pause and reflect on the importance of collective well-being. This year also comes with heavy news for many federal employees who lost their jobs—on this day of all days. I stand in solidarity with those affected and encourage everyone to prioritize their mental health during this difficult time. Your feelings are valid, and support is available. 💚

As the colder months creep in, many of us feel the weight of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). For me, calming my nervous system sometimes looks like rewatching Oswald, Little Bear, and Franklin, gentle reminders of simpler times.

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated: hydrate, breathe, protect your peace, and create a comfort toolkit that works for you. What’s in yours?
