New Year!

This past year has been one of growth, loss and love. We started in Europe detoured to our past in Connecticut, and now back in Bozeman. There was so much shedding skin/s this year. I appreciate where I ended up. Losing my mother was a big thing. I’ve grown more connected with other women, such as my sisters who I’m enjoying having in my life more than ever. They’re all beautiful, cool souls who are a mix of creativity, kooky behavior and mysticism (just like me.)

I love going to work, seeing people in the office. After 20 years here, there have been so many people, every encounter is magic. But the ones we see now are special. Some things take time.

It’s exciting to start fresh, with all the life I have freshly planted in a new year! It’s looking good a few days in! So far I have some plans that should change my life deeply. Life will change and evolve beyond me in the coming years. For now I am here and part of the stream of life.

I will find time to dream dreams, lose myself in laughter and joy. I regularly dance with my husband in the evening after dinner. It’s quiet in the house now.

I miss my mama being here on the earth but she left a rich legacy that lives on. She loved the best she could and I feel her all around me. I feel my father as well. It’s funny as I’m getting older the things on the earth matter less and less. I think my theme is now more about acceptance, not fighting.

I’ve built physical realities that were wonderful; people, love, places. Now I’m feeling these things slip away in a certain way. They’re becoming less intense, softer, gentler. I’m learning to surrender and trust which are new ways of being for me!

Most of all, Love. Love means something different when you’re older. More about being, less doing.

Also, always believe in miracles. Sometimes they just take time. Who knows what surprises the year will bring?

Happy 2026!
