Happy New Year 2026

I came across this photo and quote a couple days before New Years. I have been filling my creative desires with revamping my photo storage and porfolio. As a hobbyist photographer I take great pride in my images captured and the canvases I create for my loved ones!

I remember taking this photo in 2014, it is still one of my most favourite winter images!

In the big picture, as I type this blog, its already the new year in another part of the world – wild to think of that. Especially when I read some other photographer’s blogs and they are posting the day ahead of me – such a mind fuk at times but also cool. Remember back in 1999, I do – I remember sitting there counting down and everyone cheering when the lights stayed on. My how life has changed – so much, since then.

Today, a new chapter begins in our book of life. We turn to a new blank page. A time when many make resolutions and promises to themselves. I truthfully, aim to be present and do the things that I know work for me – forcing too many changes on myself can backfire.

So I celebrate!

• Taking my vitamins and omega’s pretty much everyday – might miss 1 day a week
• Committing to learning more about moon cycles and beginning the 2026 Moonology Diary
• Using 1 journal to reduce overwhelm or that “another thing to do”
• Conscious social media time
• Joining a local monthly group for growth
• Listening to my body
• What lights up my heart – my photography!

I am really excited about showcasing more of my art !

The original below, before the quote. I love this country winter image!

As a mama with two young babes this was my ‘outlet’ with and without them. I loved capturing moments with them, and when given the opportunity to get out just me and my camera, this is the magic I appreciate. Even if that opportunity was 1 min on the side of the road ;) These images hold all the memories and I love that!!!
