Rich in Every Way
There’s something sacred about a new year.
That first quiet morning after the noise settles. The feeling of a clean slate. The whisper that says, you made it here.
2025 was a year of rebuilding — a year of rediscovering my voice, re-learning trust, and finding my footing again after seasons that demanded survival.
We called it The Year of Freedom. And freedom came, but not in the way I expected. It didn’t show up as wide-open skies and easy answers — it came as release. As letting go. As remembering that freedom starts within.
And now, here we are — standing at the edge of something new.
This year, my word is Rich.
Not rich in money or things (though abundance in those areas is welcome), but rich in every way that matters.
Rich in peace.
Rich in love.
Rich in laughter.
Rich in purpose, connection, and creativity.
Rich in the moments that make me stop, breathe, and say — this is what it’s all about!
Because I’ve lived the version of life where I was chasing everything. The version where success meant being exhausted, proving my worth, trying to be everything to everyone. That life looked full, but it was hollow.
This year, I don’t want full. I want fulfilled.
Rich means presence.
It’s being fully here for the moments that matter — not stuck in the past or racing toward the next thing.
Rich means overflow.
It’s giving from a place of wholeness, not depletion. It’s saying yes to what expands me and no to what drains me.
Rich means depth.
It’s building relationships that feel safe and real. Creating work that carries meaning. Choosing experiences that feed my soul, not just my schedule.
And maybe most importantly — Rich means trust.
Trusting that everything I’ve walked through was preparing me for this. Trusting that I don’t have to force what’s meant for me. Trusting that I can build, receive, and rest — all at once.
What I’m Taking with Me from 2025:
I’m taking gratitude — for the small wins, for the lessons that came through loss, and for the people who stayed.
I’m taking my voice — steady, soft, and sure, no longer afraid of being too much or not enough.
And I’m taking peace — the kind I earned by facing myself, forgiving the past, and finally believing that I deserve to be happy.
If you’ve been in survival mode, if you’ve been holding your breath waiting for life to get easier — this is your permission to exhale.
You made it. And now, it’s your turn to live richly.
Rich doesn’t mean more.
- It means enough.
- It means joy in the morning light.
- It means connection that feels like home.
- It means finding beauty in what already exists — and building from there.
So here’s to 2026 — to the year of Rich in Every Way.
May it meet you where you are and carry you where you’re meant to go.
What does being rich in every way look like for you this year — emotionally, spiritually, creatively, or within your community?
