Good Morning,
As we enter 2026, many of us are yearning for breakthroughs, answers to prayers, and moments of divine intervention. This year can be your opportunity to position yourself for miracles, by holding onto faith and hope even when the odds are against you. By choosing to contend for a miracle, you open your life to hope, action, and the possibility of experiencing the extraordinary. Psalm 77:14 states “You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples.”
I won’t deny that last year was challenging on many levels - but every new year I find myself filled with optimism. Because each new year presents a blank canvas of opportunity to redefine ourselves, set bold goals, and open our minds to the endless realm of possibility as we step toward something extraordinary. By challenging the narratives and replacing them with affirmations of self-worth and capability, we unlock the potential that resides within us. This shift is the first step toward real, meaningful change.
Every day is an opportunity to choose possibility. Whether pursuing a new skill, nurturing relationships, or focusing on health, each intention becomes a pathway to possibility. When intentions are rooted in purpose, they provide direction and motivation, guiding your decisions and actions. If you keep the faith, you can turn dreams into reality and make this a year like no other.
Growth rarely occurs within comfort zones. And by embracing the unknown and viewing challenges as opportunities, you build resilience and discover strengths you never knew you had. This practices ignites fresh ideas and new perspectives that fuel both personal and professional growth. You can accomplish far more when you surround yourself with people who encourage and inspire you.

Your meditation for thought is: If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. - The Gospel of Thomas
Happy - 2026
