2025 was a rough one. The 2020s are proving to be quite a decade!

As we settle into 2026, we acknowledge another opportunity to pause. To reflect. To mourn and celebrate. Plan, build and reset where necessary. Each new year is a beautiful reset.

But in reality, we are not living life in one year increments. We don’t completely start over every year. We take some of the old stuff into the new year. We take lessons, experiences and struggles. We take pains and joys, love and loss. Sometimes we call it baggage, but sometimes baggage is just buried wisdom. Either way, we take all of this lived life and meet each new year with a renewed chance to try again-hopefully connecting the dots of buried wisdom acquired along the way, creating our own unique life pictures.

As you begin the year, we wish you good health, strength, clarity and light. Happy 2026!
