My guiding card for 2026 - The Bard.
January tends to come with a lot of talk about change - bold plans, new intentions, dreaming of newer versions of ourselves.
Over the years I've become less interested in deciding who I’m going to be this year, and more interested in noticing what’s already present.
My guiding card for 2026 is The Bard - not in the sense of performance, but as a witness: someone who listens closely, notices patterns over time, and gives voice to what’s real rather than what’s urgent.
The word I’m carrying alongside that energy is stability.
Not stillness. Not sameness. Just a steady base - in the body, in decisions, and in the way I hold my work.
If you’re inclined, you might choose a word for the year rather than a resolution. Something that reflects how you want to move with the year, rather than trying to shape it in advance.
Over January, I’ll be sharing reflections and practical ways of supporting awareness, regulation, and connection - offered without pressure.
