From One Whole to 12 Parts

My last post was about the spark—the “playing in the dark” to get back into our bodies. But what happened next was a very different kind of process.

When I cut this paper into 12 parts, I realized that while the “whole” was a snapshot of a moment, the “parts” were a roadmap for my year. It’s fascinating to me how I accidentally created a way to pace myself through 2026.

The shift from Doing to Being

There is something vulnerable about cutting up a finished piece of art to find the “windows” inside it.

I’m not using this to track deadlines. I’m using it to track identities—a monthly reminder to be “Enough,” “Brave,” or “Patient.”

2026 is my year of ease, and this flipbook is the first tangible evidence of that promise.

This became my “Year of Remembering Who I Am” —leading me into a year that will be whatever it will be.

It’s unmeasured, unplanned, and perfectly imperfect.

Sending you much love as we step into 2026.
