The first video of 2026 (a podcast episode) has been shot, edited and scheduled. The first email to my list has been written and scheduled. The plans for my first EPIC week of 2026 have been laid out! I AM READY FOR MY BEST YEAR YET!! You with me? Let's do this!!!!!

Truth be told, I only have one goal this year but it a goal that will drive every decision, every action and every conversation. The goal - to be proud of me. Proud of the work I do. Proud of the words I share. Proud of the value I deliver. Proud of the human I am. It worked last year. I see no reason not to repeat. You with me?

A vision without execution is hallucination - Thomas Edison. The period of rest is now done. Now is the time to begin to bring visions to life by following the plan. Now is the time to commit to daily, committed progress. Now is the time to do the work. And I am not only ready but I AM PUMPED! And how could I not be? There are people out there who will BENEFIT from our words. There are people out there that will find their CLARITY when we live our own. There are people out there who will have HOPE because we once believed in our dreams and not only believed, but put in the work. In the words of my father, "You can be whatever you want to be, IF and only if you put in the work to achieve it." I got this Dad. We got this world! It is time!!

I write this from my office, my home office, something I am incredibly thankful for on a -26C morning in northern Ontario, Canada. I entered not out of obligation, there are no deadlines or pressing matters requiring my attendance here. Rather I entered quietly, like one does when they are having coffee with an old friend they haven't seen in ages. I smiled at the familiar, took pleasure from recent tweaks, and as I rebooted my computer, I gave thanks for this home, this office, the opportunity to work from home and most of all, the opportunity to make a living and a life doing what I love. So, on this day, the first of many that 2026 will offer, I give thanks that once again, I am exactly where I want to be - sitting at this desk, writing a note to someone I care about even if we have never met. Happy New Year, my friend. Happy New Year. Love Sandi
