Yes set goals, manifest, create a Vision board and get a new diary or planner, but what is around you right now? I have gotten in a place where I am okay by how it is now. I have clothes, my son, my homes and my writing and at this moment, I love all these things.

So I am open to what 2026 brings and just let life be more present and leave part of my life to fate and yes I believe in God. There are changes and transitions, as I am moving, as I live partly with my mum and step dad but with my husband and son too, and they are the things I am focused on now.

There is still a lot to learn and going to do more courses as I love doing that. I loved my reading and completed 20 books this year and my challenge for 2026 is 21 books. I will be updating site, My Books and Stories.

I am watching a Video by Carter Sullivan on Youtube and is on the same mindset as me and that is to see what happens in 2026. Its a relief to me and letting go off the girl who feels I have to map it out all the time and mind maps are good, but you don’t have to set up your whole year but where your are now.

So January it is getting back in to learning mode, for me working on my book called When Mothers Are Real and setting up my watch for measuring my steps and sorting out the home.

I have begun No Spend January and set up my planner which I plan to film and it doesn’t mean I can’t spend anything. Its only essentials and stock up on them so I don’t need to go and buy. It means doing a spending plan and what is not a priority.

It is about self control and be intentional.

Happy New Year
