It's already almost at the end of the first month of 2026. It seems like there was a time when things didn't move so fast, things were much slower. The fact is you have to be intentional about slowing down, and what better time to slow down than in the winter. You can set time aside to do a spiritual fast so you can get closer to God, clear your head, and pray about how you would like to see 2026 unfold. If you like to cook, this is the perfect time of year to make a delicious pot of soup to savor while keeping warm, and listening to soft music. There are so many things you can do to settle yourself, and enjoy the quiet time before the spring comes and you start moving so fast to enjoy the warmer temperatures. It's a blessing to have winter months, that alone can slow you down, and allow you to be thankful for quality time spent alone, or with those you love. So, start year 2026 off right by slowing down, finding clarity for your life, and focus.
