Hello Friends! The New Year is almost here and I am so ready for it! Not, that I want to jump or dive into 2026 with reckless abandon but rather walk into it calmly, at peace and ready to build on all of things that I accomplished in 2025.

There's something powerful about choosing calm, especially in a world that constantly asks us to hurry, react and do more. As 2026 begins. I'm not rushing in with loud declarations or packed resolutions. Instead, I'm choosing to walk forward calmly. With intention. With grace. With room to breathe.

For me, this year isn't about doing everything. It's about doing the right things, at the right pace.

When I think about the year ahead, I picture gentle mornings, creative time that isn't rushed, and space - space to reflect, to make, to rest and to grow. Sometimes growth happens quietly, one thoughtful step at a time. That's the energy I want to carry into 2026.

The two soft palette cards I'm sharing today reflect the same feeling. Muted colors, clean design and a sense of ease. They are a reminder that beauty doesn't need to shout, it can whisper and still be deeply felt. 



I hope these cards encourage you to pause for a moment. To breathe. To consider what your calm walk into the new year might look like.

As we step into 2026 together, my hope is this: That you give yourself permission to move slower. To choose thoughtfully. To create space for what truly matters. Here's to a year filled with intention, creativity and quiet joy.

Cheers to 2026!

Hugs,

Carol
