As the year winds down and the house begins to feel a little more like Christmas, I find myself pausing to feel thankful.
Today, I’m thankful for small but satisfying accomplishments—Christmas presents bought, the tree glowing in the corner, and cards sent on their way. Those little checkmarks on the to-do list bring a sense of calm I didn’t know I needed.
I’m deeply thankful that most of my family will be here for the holidays. Time together is something I never want to take for granted, especially as the years seem to move faster and faster.
This year also brought something I’m especially grateful for: finishing two books. One is already published, and the other will be very soon. There were moments of doubt, long days, and revisions that tested my patience—but seeing those projects come to life has been incredibly rewarding.
As I look back on 2025, I’m allowing myself to reflect on both the good and the hard parts. Every year carries its share of lessons, and I want to carry those forward with intention. It’s time to think about what worked, what didn’t, and how I can grow from it all.
Looking ahead to 2026, I’m setting a goal that excites and challenges me: to publish two more books by the end of the year. Writing continues to be a gift, a discipline, and a joy—and I’m thankful I get to pursue it.
For now, I’ll sit with gratitude—for family, for finished projects, for hope, and for the promise of a new year just around the corner.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Well done on publishing books. What are they about?
