Happy 2026! First email of the year, woah!
I just got back to the NYC area yesterday, which is always when it becomes clear to me that the holidays are officially over (my parents still have the Christmas tree and stockings up haha).
The end of the holidays is typically bittersweet for me, but this year it felt even more so...I would've loved to linger and cuddle with my parent's sweet dogs a bit more.
On top of that, I feel a little funny about 2026...
Like does it feel like a new year to you energetically? It feels like a slow start to me and I've had a few moments where I still think it's 2025 LOL.
Overall, I'm craving space to do a lot less than I usually do around this time...case in point I kinda wanna take a nap and/or do some restorative yoga as I'm writing to you...I'll do that later haha.
I love a fresh start but the ending of that 9-year cycle is something that I'm still energetically sitting with.
2026 is a one year and I feel called to go inward to set the foundation for the next nine years. That will probably look like a lot of moments with my eyes closed...yum.
To me, this one year almost has 'toddlers when they're learning to walk' vibes. I feel like this next 9-year cycle on the horizon has a lot in store for me and probably for the whole world!
So much is shifting, changing, and transforming around us and my hope is that, despite some of the global politics going on at the moment, we might be able to find some pockets of peace, love, and joy.
And even though I feel a little foggy energetically, I feel really clear about my word of the year, which is rich.
It came to me mid-December and at first, I questioned if it was just because it kinda rhymes with 2026 but, of course, I uncovered that this word has many layers.
I see a year full of richness, depth, and abundance. That can apply not just to how much I make but also to the energy that I feel inside, the relationships that I have, and the time that I spend.
The goal is for everyday moments to feel rich in some way...it even feels like that as I write this...there's a warmth in my body and a soothing energy in my soul. That feels rich to me.
I'm not sure how the rest of the year will unfold but I'm down for surprises :)
What about you? Do you have a word of the year? If so, I'd love to know what it is so write me back and tell me about it!
And if you want more clarity on your intentions and blueprint for 2026, you'll love this video <3
In it, I share...
- A visualization that guides you month-to-month into the year ahead.
- Methods to embody your future accomplishments before they happen.
- How to set up for a year that prioritizes what matters most to you.
Watch it on YouTube and once you're done, write me back and tell me: what are some of your intentions and priorities this year? I'd love to know <3
Big hugs,
Kimberly
