A Vow for 2026 — Healing, Together

Dear Beloved Community,

As we step into 2026, I want to begin the year not with urgency, not with aspiration dressed as pressure—but with a vow.

A vow to live differently.
A vow to heal differently.
A vow to be with one another differently.

This year, we choose laughter as our balm.

Not the brittle laughter that performs wellness while grief tightens its grip beneath the surface—but the deep, bellied laughter that loosens sorrow from the ribs. The kind that reminds the nervous system it can stand down. The kind that tells the body, quietly and convincingly: you are safe again.

In 2026, we chose support as our sanctuary.

A sanctuary without performance.
Without the expectation to be “over it,” articulate it, or justify the weight of what we carry.
A place where shoulders soften.
Where silence is held with reverence.
Where no one is asked to bleed alone.

This is a year devoted to shared laughter—the kind that travels across kitchen tables and late-night calls, voice notes, and long pauses. The laughter that stitches us back into belonging, not because everything is fixed, but because we are no longer isolated inside what hurts.

We are committing—deliberately, reverently—to mutual support.

Hands extended without keeping score.
Presence offered without conditions.
Love that listens.
Love that stays.

It is the medicine that restores the soul:
being witnessed without judgment,
being met without fixing,
being loved without shrinking.

Much of modern healing has been framed as a solitary endeavor—an individual project, a private reckoning, a quiet endurance. But 2026 invites something truer, something older, something wiser.

In 2026, we heal together.

We choose joy that has been earned honestly.
Rest that is treated as sacred, not indulgent.
Connection that nourishes rather than consumes.

We let laughter become our prayer.
We allow support to be our shelter.
And we remember that healing was never meant to be a lonely road—but a shared return home.

May this year soften us without breaking us.
May it strengthen us without hardening us.
And may we practice belonging until it feels natural again.

With warmth, clarity, and deep faith in what we are building together,

Laughter as prayer. Support as shelter. Healing—together.
