January has always been my favourite month. Not just because it’s my birth month (the 17th, for the record), but because it carries something sacred for me: fresh starts, new beginnings, and possibility.
It’s the month that feels like a deep breath.
This year, though, I did January differently.
Instead of waiting for the year to begin before getting clear, I created my vision board on 31st December 2025. I wanted to enter 2026 already knowing what I was calling in. And this time, I didn’t stop at dreaming. I paired vision with intention; an action plan, timelines, calendar reminders, and even a hard look at possible blockers… plus how I’d deal with them when they showed up.
Clarity before momentum. Not the other way around.
And January wasted no time meeting me at that energy.
While the country was deep in election season, complete with an internet blackout; I was boarding a plane to South Africa to celebrate my birthday with friends. It felt symbolic: choosing joy, movement, and life in the middle of uncertainty.
