Moving Forward into 2026: A quick message from my heart
|
Hey Reader, Can you believe it? Tomorrow is the last day of 2025. I've been spending pockets of time over the last few days looking ahead to 2026 in my business as well as considering what's working in my exercise program and what needs tweaking (spoiler alert: I'm always changing.) As I've been doing this, I've been thinking about you. Here's what I know: every January, we're bombarded with messages about "starting fresh" and "new year, new you" and making up for everything we did (or didn't do) in December. But that's not how we move forward around here. I put together a quick 4-minute YouTube video I hope you'll watch. So here are three reminders I hope you'll carry with you: 1. Please don't punish your body for the last few weeks. 2. Keep your future self in mind. 3. Remember: the tortoise always wins. Give your body time to adapt. You don't have to do all the things all at once just because we're flipping over a new calendar. Here's to moving forward together. I'll be back on Friday with our usual Nourishing Notes Newsletter. Have a graced day, Amy P.S. - In case you missed any, check out the three most-listened-to episodes from 2025: - How to Lift Heavier Without Heavier Weights - Should I Wear a Weighted Vest? - Six Ways to Take Care of Your Future Self, Especially in Perimenopause and Menopause In love and grace,

Hey Reader, Can we do a check-in? How are we feeling? Why do I ask? Well, there's a lot of talk about new years and new [fill in the blank - goals, rhythms, and my least favorite: you]. But our emotions aren't on a 12-month calendar, and there's some hard stuff going on right now. If that's you, I just want to hold space for that. Also, just in case you haven't heard me say it, we don't need a new you because it's the new year. The you from a week ago was just fine, thankyouverymuch. Sure,...
This year I'm trying to up my Christmas game. Not in the sense of buying presents (so far we have zero presents under the tree and one gift purchased for each kid) or decorating (it's the season of simplify), but in preparing my heart for the birth of the One we've been waiting on. Obviously, I know Jesus is "the reason for the season." I know we are celebrating his birth. But I forget that his coming is to literally bring peace, joy and hope to us. Not only on December 25 (which should...
Today concludes the 849th day of January. Congratulations, friend: You made it. I'm looking out my window grateful for the sunshine today and reminded just how important LIGHT is. It's been gloomy and dreary here all week and just when I thought I couldn't bear to tell my solar-powered dog "no" once more, the sun appeared. Of course, it's always there, it was just hidden. I'm reminded that our Light is always there as well. Even in the dark and heavy times when everything around us seems to...
