Hello Reader,

Before the holiday rush begins, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for being here, for reading these emails, for sharing your journey, and for letting me be a small part of your story this year.

I’m grateful for your attention, your trust, and your willingness to keep learning and growing.

Positive Outlook

Take a moment to reflect on the year you’ve had. Yes, December is still ahead, and maybe you didn’t hit every goal you set back in January.

That’s okay. Don’t stress over what’s left on your list, and definitely don’t fall into the comparison trap — everyone’s journey looks different, and social media only shows the highlights.

Instead, focus on how far you’ve come, the lessons you’ve learned, and the progress you’ve made (even if it feels small). Use this time to reset, recharge, and start thinking about how you want to finish the year and step into 2026.
​
​Thank Your Heroes

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to thank the people who’ve supported you. These are the loved ones who’ve cheered you on, picked up the slack, or simply “dealt with you” as you chased your dreams.

For me, that’s my husband, Tim. He supports me in many ways by keeping our lives on track. He gives me space to work on my creative goals and encourages me every step of the way.

Maybe for you it’s your partner, your kids, your parents, your team, or your friends. Whoever it is, take a moment this week to let them know you appreciate them. Sometimes a simple “thank you” means more than we realize.

What's Ahead?

December is still ahead, and 2026 is just around the corner. If you’re behind, don’t stress. Use this time to reflect, reset, and get ready for what’s next. The best is yet to come!

Wishing you and your loved ones a restful, grateful, and joyful Thanksgiving!
