2026 is not panning out the way I expected at all

2026 is not panning out the way I expected at all and after two months I’ve decided to pivot my goals for my health. Instead of focusing on chasing big goals, I am going to focus on the slowing down. Little rituals, tiny day trips, savoring kitty cuddles, getting lost in books, and noticing the small details again.

I used to lay on the floor in spring and watch the dust motes dance like glitter in sun beams and this weekend I happened to catch the light just right to notice them again. It made me pause and think of how hurried I’ve been. Trying to catch up in my career that I just started in my mid-30s, trying to run a side business running on fumes, and trying to help everyone else with their lives while neglecting the little things that bring me joy.

So, here’s to a pivot. I might post weekly or monthly. It might be adventures or kitties. Who knows.

January recap includes finally making it out to Ep

January recap includes finally making it out to Epcot’s Food and Art Festival and reading 6 books this month. Today I am staying bundled up inside and working on some laser projects for February.

I made this recipe a year ago and it has sat in my archives awaiting strawberry season to return! This recipe is super easy using box cake mix but could also be completely made from scratch.

2025 in review. I kept meaning to create this last

2025 in review. I kept meaning to create this last week but the struggle to figure out what to do in 2026 took over (still not sure tbh). 2025 was interesting but not productive at all. I’m so thankful for the small businesses and families who trusted me to capture their year. If all you did was survive in 2025, you’re not alone and that is ok. Here’s to 2026!
Was 2025 successful for you?
