My word of the year – 2026.

A very Happy New Year to all of you! May all your dreams and wishes come true. 

And speaking of dreams and wishes, brings me to my WOTY – Word of the year.

As 2025 drew to a close, I found myself once again reflecting on my word for the year ahead. Over time, I’ve walked with many—Transformation, Bravely, Me, Journey, Order, No Excuses, My Way, and Consistency. Each arrived when I needed it. And now, I wondered gently, what was asking to come next for 2026.

As I pondered, my thoughts drifted—quite rudely—to my bank balance, which, after a wonderful holiday, was almost depleted. Health-wise too, my energy was low. I had sold only a handful of books that month, and I hadn’t reached my income goals. I was tired. Fed up.

Fed up with living on the edge of “just enough“.

I no longer want a life of scarcity; in money, in health, in joy, or in love. I want to live a life of abundance. Not only receiving, but giving too. I want abundance to flow, to and fro, freely and generously.

I want my students to receive the very best of what I have to offer, and in return, I want more students to walk into my classrooms.  I want to write many beautiful books; books my readers recognise by my name, books they wait for with anticipation.  I want to care for my mind and body so deeply that they, in turn, give their best back to me.  I want to give love and compassion to those who need it and allow love to flow back to me without resistance.

And no, I am not greedy. I just want to live wholeheartedly. Now I want what I know I deserve. Everything. And so for 2026, I choose Abundance. Over enough.
