The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

As a new year begins, I’ve been thinking about what I want 2026 to feel like. Instead of setting rigid resolutions or chasing unrealistic expectations, I’m choosing something that feels more meaningful—words to live by.

Words have a way of grounding us. They become quiet reminders on hard days and gentle encouragement on the good ones. They help shape how we care for ourselves, how we spend our time, and how we move through the year. For 2026, I want words that reflect where I am right now—not where I think I should be.
This year isn’t about doing more or proving anything. It’s about slowing down, honoring my needs, and choosing a life that feels aligned, cozy, and sustainable.

✨ My Words for 2026 ✨

Gentle & Enough

Gentle with my body.
Gentle with my heart.
Gentle with my goals.

Choosing slow mornings, long walks with Bella 🐾, getting lost in good books , and making time to craft simply because it brings me joy 🧵🎨🖼✨

And this is the reminder I’m carrying with me all year:

✨ I am enough.
I don’t need to do more to be worthy.
I don’t need to hustle to be valued.
Rest is allowed. Joy is allowed.
Showing up as I am… is enough.

Here’s to a year of softness, self-kindness, cozy moments, and truly believing that I am already enough.
