As January 2026 begins, I feel a quiet invitation from The Most High to slow down and tend to my heart and mind with intention. This new year isn’t asking me to rush forward. It's asking me to rest, to trust, and to heal. For me, Mental Wellness Month is a time to not only acknowledge mental health, but to actively nurture it through faith, mindfulness, and daily care.

When I look back on 2025, my heart feels full. Truly full. This year has been an amazing one for me. Not because everything was perfect, but because everything was purposeful. I grew. I learned. I healed in ways I didn’t even realize I needed.

Reflection has become one of my most powerful tools. It allows me to honor where I’ve been, instead of rushing past it. Even though I don't live in the past, it helps shape my future. I have learned to give it the respect that it deserves in its place.
