A New Year’s Eve Reflection from My Heart to Yours
Hello B. Well Family,
Last New Year’s Eve, I did my yearly ritual.
I walked through my house—room by room, corner by corner—and I prayed out loud.
Not quietly. Not politely. Out loud.I spoke everything I wanted out of my home:
Chaos
Confusion
Tiredness that lived in my bones
Disrespect
Immaturity
Heavy energy
Struggle that felt inherited
I told those things they were no longer welcome here.
And then I called things in:
Rest
Respect
Joy
Order
Peace
Abundance
Stability
Safety
Ease
I thought I was setting intentions for a smoother year.
What I didn’t know was that within moments—within weeks—everything began to fall apart.
2025 did not ease me in.
It grabbed me by the neck and started punching me in the face.I could barely catch my breath.
I endured things I never imagined I would face:
A custody case
Leaving a home I had intentionally chosen and renovated for my children
Letting go of a vision of stability I thought was the plan
Watching my life change suddenly and drastically, without my permission
For the first time in my life, I found myself on the floor asking God, “Why have You forsaken me?”
When the words came out of my mouth, my mother said,
“Who are you questioning God?”But I was questioning everything.
I didn’t understand what was happening.
I had prayed.
I had asked for good things.
Why did it all feel like loss?And now, as I bring this year to a close, I can finally see it.
Everything had to fall apart so something new could be built.
Not rebuilt.
Not repaired.
Built new.This year taught me things I never could have learned any other way:
I am stronger than I ever imagined
I can trust myself
I am smart
I make good decisions—for myself and for my children
I know how to stand when things are uncertain
I learned who is really for me.
I learned who shows up when it’s hard.
I learned who disappears when it’s inconvenient.I saw my village rise.
And I saw who quietly exited.And instead of bitterness, I feel gratitude.
Because 2025 stripped me down—and gave me back me.
As I look toward 2026, I am excited—not because I know what’s coming, but because I trust myself and I trust God.
I’ve learned this:
God gives us the desires of our hearts…
but sometimes His path to get us there looks nothing like we imagined.And still—it works for our highest good.
Your New Year’s Eve Assignment
Before you step into 2026, I invite you to do this work intentionally.
Part 1: Reflect on 2025
Take a sheet of paper or your journal.
Write down every hard thing from 2025.
Every challenge.
Every loss.
Every moment you questioned yourself or God.
After each one, write:
“Thank you for what this gave me that I did not have before.”
Maybe it gave you:
Strength
Clarity
Boundaries
Discernment
Courage
Self-trust
Freedom
A new perspective
Let yourself see the growth—not just the grief.
Part 2: Call In 2026
Now, out loud if you can, write and speak what you are calling in for 2026.
Examples:
Peace in my body
Stability in my home
Joy that feels light
Financial ease
Healthy relationships
Rest without guilt
Alignment
Support
Expansion
Love—starting with myself
Don’t over-control how it happens.
Instead, add this sentence at the end:
“I am open to the process, even if it looks different than I expect.”
Because trust isn’t about knowing the route.
It’s about believing you’ll be held on the way.
As you step into the new year, remember this:
If 2025 didn’t break you—it built you.
And 2026 gets to meet the strongest, wisest, most grounded version of you yet.
I’m honored to walk with you into it.
Happy New Year!
