It’s all a lot, isn’t it?

We weren’t designed to carry this much emotional grief and world-wide trauma on an ongoing basis. Just know you’re not alone. It’s ok to not be ok. 🫢🏻

Any New Year’s resolutions on your list? We love this from @OtterBeeStitching - β€œbe brave enough to suck at something new”.

There’s no points for perfection, but you’ll get a trophy for trying. If nothing else this year, take the leap and try something new.

A toast to the old you πŸ₯‚ 

We wholeheartedly love this post from the brilliant @EmilyOnLife:

β€œ2026: Reinvent, burn it down, let it go (whatever it is). Year of the Snake it up. Exercise your boundaries, exercise your body, take one teeny step every day towards a life that feels better to be in. 

But don’t you dare shit on your old self while you do it. 

Hold yourself with reverence and tenderness and respect, because you got you this far. You did your very best with the information and tools you had at the time. You scraped yourself together, you made it work, you survived what felt impossible to survive: again and again and again.

You are perpetually in the process of becoming, whether you can feel it or not, whether or not you add it to your 2026 to-do list.β€œ
Some very wise words from @Damon.Gameau to take us into 2026 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
