Day 22 of 2026- Getting Ready

 Hi Friends,

The forecast models are starting to firm up, and it looks like we may actually be dealing with a major storm in the next few days. At first, everything felt all over the place, one source said one thing, another said something completely different. But now the predictions are starting to line up more clearly, and you can feel it happening. People are getting prepared, stores are getting busier, and the general buzz is definitely picking up.

I’ll be honest, I’m not one to panic, but I am someone who likes to be ready. So later today, I plan to start getting a few things together and making sure we have the necessities at home. Nothing crazy. Just the basics that make life easier if the power goes out or roads become unsafe. Water, some food, batteries, flashlights, and anything else we would truly need.

Storm prep is about having what matters so you can stay calm when things get unpredictable. And honestly, that idea goes beyond weather. Being prepared isn’t just for storms, it’s for life too. Having your necessities in place, staying grounded, planning ahead, and keeping your priorities clear helps you handle whatever comes your way, whether it’s a storm, a busy season, or a big goal you’re working toward.

Prepared is peace. Panic is noise.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 21 of 2026- Weather Forecasters

 Hi Friends,

The weather forecasters are truly funny. We’ve got a major storm supposedly headed our way, and every source has a different prediction on how it will play out. They’re all watching the models and trying to call it early, but some of these forecasts feel completely outrageous. Of course, as soon as people hear “major storm,” the panic starts. And honestly, I’m sure Costco has already run out of toilet paper… just saying.

As for me, I’m not running out to buy everything in sight just yet. It still amazes me how quickly people jump into panic mode. I get it, it’s smart to be prepared, but we’re still at least 3 to 4 days away from when this thing might actually hit.

So folks, don’t panic quite yet. Give it another day, see how the forecast evolves, and then make a plan. We’ll all be okay. That said, there’s nothing wrong with grabbing what you need, the basics and necessities, just in case. Prepared is good, panic is not. For your life too.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 20 of 2026- So Busy

 Hi Friends,

Busy week so far? I’m sure we all have work, kids, and family responsibilities weighing on us, and for some of us, it’s heavier than others. I know I’ve been especially busy with work lately. With this new role I moved into a couple months ago, it feels nonstop. There’s truly no breather. It’s been go, go, go with no real chance to pause and prioritize, because somehow everything feels urgent.

So how do you handle the constant motion with no pause? For me, the first step is simple: I step away from my desk as often as I can, even if it’s just for a minute or two. I take a breath and look at everything I have going on with fresh eyes. Then I do a quick mental inventory of what truly needs to be done today.

My priorities stay pretty clear. My kids come first, and making sure their needs are met always matters most. After that comes my health. Then work. Work won’t disappear, but I’ve learned that taking even a small moment to reset helps me focus on what’s next, instead of feeling overwhelmed by everything at once. And from there, I just keep inching forward until it gets done.

Hope this helps you.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 19 of 2026- A Holiday-Work Day

 Hi Friends,

Even though today is a holiday, I still chose to work so I could catch up and get things done. It ended up being one of those rare days where I finished everything I needed to without any interruptions—because everyone else was off.

And honestly, it was so nice not to be IM’d by the rest of the team all day. The quiet felt peaceful in the best way, and it gave me the space to truly lock in, focus, and be super productive.

Hope you can find days like this in your schedule.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 18 of 2026- A For You Sunday

 Hi Friends,

Some of the best Sundays are the ones when you truly dedicate the day to yourself. Today, I challenge you to do just that, this Sunday and every Sunday going forward.

Say to yourself: This is the day I am going to dedicate to me. Then truly stick to it by doing things that fill you up and make you feel like yourself again.

Whether it’s rest, a long walk, journaling, reading, meal prep, unplugging from your phone, or simply doing nothing at all give yourself permission to do what you want. You deserve at least one day a week that’s just for you.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 17 of 2026- Rest Up

 Hi Friends,

Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a calm and refreshing start. After a long week of responsibilities, deadlines, and nonstop moving, today is a good reminder that rest isn’t something you earn only when everything is finished. Rest is part of the process.

Take a moment to slow down and check in with yourself. If you’ve been pushing hard lately, give yourself permission to pause. Sleep in if you can. Drink some water. Step outside for fresh air. Put your phone down for a bit. Even small breaks can do a lot to reset your mind and body.

It’s okay if you don’t get everything done this weekend. You don’t have to be productive every second to be worthy of progress. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is recharge so you can show up stronger next week.

Have a peaceful Saturday, a rested heart, and a weekend that fills you back up.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 16 of 2026- A Note

 Hi Friends,

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope your first two full weeks back at work have been going well. Maybe they’ve been busy or challenging, but either way, I know you’re pushing through.

To help you keep up that momentum, here’s a beautiful quote I came across today from Angela Davis:

“Walls turned sideways are bridges.”

Every situation has more than one way to look at it. Every challenge you’re facing can be seen from a different perspective. And no matter what you’re going through, there is always a path forward.

This might just become one of my mantras for the year and definitely something I want to keep on a Post-it note where I can see it daily.

Peace
