December 27, 2025
Hello all, I am so glad you are here.
I offer you the fondest wishes that love and light have warmed your celebrations and will faithfully accompany you into the new year. For me, these lazy days, as we wind out December, leave much time for reflection on the bygones and to consider intentions for the new year. Hope plays a significant role as I consider the months ahead. The words and phrases that come immediately to my mind in this reflection are peace, presence, mindfulness, gratitude, and kindness–rampant universal kindness. These “hope words” will inform a personal mantra I will craft for myself for 2026. I invite you to share your hope words or a hope message in the comments box below. Let’s sprinkle the increasing light with positivity so it will steadily expand to encompass us all.
The slower days of winter also provide a natural time to consider our personal end-of-life preparedness. As we enjoy winter’s lull, with cozy fires and warm drinks, we can take a small steps to ensure the future stays bright as part of a personal New Year “Tune-Up.” It isn’t just about resolutions; it’s about the peace of mind that comes from having your EOL Documents organized, up to date, and easily located so your loved ones can find them.
This year, give yourself (and your loved ones) the gift of clarity and peace of mind by making your voice heard and your wishes known when you may no longer be able to state them. No stress, no guesswork—just a clear path forward guided by your own words.
Warmly wishing a sense of hope and peace for you and yours (and for the world) into and throughout 2026,
Carolynn
