Happy New Year 2026

Happy New Year to you all….

Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies and how much can change in the space of a year? I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and are currently keeping warm and cosy during these cold and snowy days of January.

As much as I love a reset and a fresh start, I am also aware that January is a slower month and although many of us have work and life commitments, it is ok to go with the slowness of the season and not be rushed into anything. Years ago I followed a macrobiotic lifestyle which is about eating with the seasons and feeding your body what the seasons are offering us at that time. Working in synergy with the outside energy to fuel and nourish our inner soul.

I now believe the same of the seasons and where as I used to feel rushed to make resolutions and start new regimes, routines and hit refresh on the first of January… I now listen to my body and my mind and go at its current natural pace. Wearing softer, cosier clothes where it permits, eating nourishing, healthy yet comforting meals, embracing earlier, darker nights and accepting  more rest during candle lit evenings.

Upon reflection I do believe  this notion of a slower paced January comes with age and as someone that is most definitely a Summer person, rather than moaning and running from Winter, I now nuzzle into its comfy nature, embrace each day and feel grateful for all that I have and all that is to come.

I know for many, myself included, 2025 was not the best year, I had a terrible accident resulting in major surgery, and have indeed had a second surgery only 9 days ago, so a slower pace is physically and figuratively all that I can currently manage. Yet I have set my intentions, laid down my gratitude and given thanks for another year on this earth with my loved ones.

I hope that you all embrace the cosiness of this season where life commitments allow and move at a more relaxed yet focused pace as we prepare to head into a New Year… I hope it treats you kind and you receive all that you deserve,

Thank you, as always for your kindness and support,

Love, Sharon xx
