Looking Back

Before we jump into 2026, can we pause and look back at 2025 for a moment?

I love scrolling through social media posts, journals, and calendars to remember the ups and downs—and I guarantee there were plenty of both.

Celebrate the beautiful parts, no matter how small. When we celebrate, we create more celebration.

And for the less-than-stellar moments, put your hands on your heart and acknowledge this: you made it through some real humdingers.

Before you rush into New Year’s resolutions to change yourself, please slow down.

You don’t need fixing. Especially in a mixed faith relationship, simply showing up in a life you didn’t plan on takes courage, resilience, and heart.

Before asking, “What do I need to change?”​
Try asking, “What did I survive?” and “What do I want to carry forward?”

Let 2026 be built on compassion for who you already are.
