For many years now, I have chosen a word to provide a focus throughout the year. Last year was reset, the year before strength, and the year before that savor. It provides a theme that I hold lightly in my heart and mind to support alignment in the choices I make big and small.

For 2026 my word is LIGHTENING. 

In my journaling, I have explored many layers of potential positive impact in my life through LIGHTENING. My struggles in recent years with two total knee replacements, menopause, and COVID restrictions have resulted in excess weight in my body. Time to lighten the load. My passion for our growing CommUnity of Anchors of the Light uplifts and inspires me. 

In my research into this word, I learned the journey of LIGHTENING is a holistic process that leads to self-mastery, inner peace, and a harmonious, less burdensome relationship with the world, directly supporting optimal well-being across spiritual, emotional, and physical dimensions. 

As Minneapolis continues to grapple with the killing of Renee Nicole Good, I hold a vision of LIGHTENING for our community and this country. LIGHTENING experiences are fundamentally linked to spiritual health, promoting a deeper sense of freedom and connection. Our community has come together to protect our neighbors from unlawful harassment of our legal citizens. We are honoring our connection with each other and protecting our freedom and sovereignty.
