a cup of kindness for 2026 ♥


"We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne."

Happiest New Year to you, my lovely reader friends! 

Here's to making 2026 a year of magic, beauty, whimsy, gentleness, and love.
Here's to expecting goodness, rekindling wonder, savoring simple pleasures,
growing in creative pursuits, walking in kindness...towards others and ourselves.
Here's to remembering that the ordinary is steeped in splendor and here's to taking the 
time to marvel at that splendor. Here's to pursuing gentleness, protecting softness,
taking time for quiet, and being content and rooted right where we are...because
right where we are is pretty extraordinary. Here's to taking time to dream and create and delight and wonder and laugh. Here's to "not ever stopping being whimsical"...as Mary Oliver said. 
Most of all, here's a cup of kindness from me to you...

wishing you the most wonderful year ahead.

You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not ever give
 anyone the responsibility of your life.
