I love being in the present moment! It makes my body feel calmer, less afraid, and like everything is okay how it is. When I project myself into the future it makes my body afraid. I’m more likely to experience nervousness and anxiety. So, as I write this I’m going to suggest you stay as much in the present as you can, as I share about this event that is in the future. It’s in a completely new year to now, 2026.
While I want you and me both to thoroughly enjoy the remainder of 2026, I’m going ask you to SAVE THE DATE – a date in the new year, 2027. January 2, 2027 to be exact. It’s a Saturday and I’ll be doing a guided meditation at 1:00pm PST. It will be online, so anyone, anywhere can participate. Although I ask that participants be 18+ and understand that a stable internet connection and working webcam that stays on the entire time will be needed.
Here’s a link to this year’s New Year’s meditation, as we left 2025 behind, making room for the excitement of 2026. The year of the Horse. The Fire Horse!
I’ll be adding a payment link soon, but for now, mark your calendars on 1-2-27. I’d love to see you there and help you with meditating out the old, and in the new. But remember to rejoice in the present moment. We have quite a few days, quite a few sleeps, and joyous moments before we take the step into the new year.

Easy ways to bring your attention more into the present is to focus on your body, its breathing, the air flowing in and out of your lungs. Your heartbeat, pulse. The temperature of the room your in. The weight of your body as you stand, sit, or lie down. Your feet on the floor. Your clothes on your skin. The feeling of water flowing into your mouth and down your throat as you drink. The taste, texture, and experience of food. Petting, talking too, and spending time with your animal friends. All of these things and more, including being fully aware of your surroundings, body’s movement, and your activity can all help with the process of being in the present moment. Enjoy all that the here and now can give you.
Take care and have Wild and Tame day!
