January 2026 is here and parts of the world seem to have gone crazy. Most people I meet express strong emotions and fear about what is going on in the world today. Many seem to have a hard time stepping out of all the negativity. Some seem to have lost hope. 

But I refuse to let crazy leaders tear us apart, so I kind of think of it in a different way:

Bring some light

Emotions are energy in motion that travel through us. So what to do: Will you let the energy bring you down, or will you use the energy as fuel to bring out some good stuff? 

The choice is yours ! 

Do something that will make today a little brighter for yourself and those you meet!

Share a meal. Talk. Give people a hug, ask them how they feel and sit with them, hold some space. If you cannot meet up in person, make a phone call.

Do something. Spread love. We’re here together!

Please help bring back hope and shine some light into the world! 

Take time to reflect

Every January I make time to reflect over last year; what really happened and check in with myself to make sure I’m on the right track. My track.

I think it’s really important to set aside time to reflect, to let go of what is not serving you any more, to open up and hold more. 

It’s really important to take corrective actions if you’re on the wrong path.

Please remember that you are never too old or too late for your life. You are here now! Live!

Give Away Celebration

A year ago my art blog celebrated 10 years and I invited people to join my newsletter and get a chance to win one of my paintings.

This glass jar was slowly filled with the names of all my followers…

And…

Today I announce the winner:

Anne-Mary M. Your painting is on the way. Hope you like it! 

This is my way of bringing some light to the world ❤️
