We begin. 2026.
When I sat down to reflect over the last year, one thing became increasingly clear: life isn’t guaranteed, and because of that, I want to live it fully and thoughtfully. I don't want to be rushed or impulsive- I want to live with intention.
This year I don't want to set resolutions that I wouldn't stick to more than a few weeks. I want lasting change that will shape who I am becoming and supports the life I want to build.
So I came up with three things to focus on. Three priorities to guide my year.
Prioritize relationships
Prioritize my spending/savings
Prioritize travel
This year, I am being more intentional about how I spend my time, my energy and my money. I'm prioritizing relationships and showing up for the people who matter most to me. I want the people in my life to know they matter to me. I'm prioritizing how I spend my money. Travel is a priority and I want my savings/spending to reflect that.
Travel for me has never been about escape. It's about connection to the people I travel with, the people I meet along the way, and the world beyond my own. As I look ahead, my goals aren't about doing more for the sake of staying busy. They are about doing what matters- deepening relationships, experiencing the world with open eyes, and building a life that reflects my dreams.
This space is where I will share that journey- what I'm planning, what I'm learning and how these intentions and priorities shape my life.
