2026: Renewed From the Inside Out
As this year comes to a close, I’ve been quietly reflecting on the journey God has taken me on… All the lessons, the stretching moments, the healing, and the many blessings tucked in between. And I want to begin by saying this from my heart:
Thank you for being here.
Your messages, your stories, your trust, and your prayers mean more to me than you know. We’re walking this wellness path together as we are learning to care for our bodies, steady our minds, and nourish our spirits with God’s gentle guidance.
“See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
— Isaiah 43:19
As we prepare to step into a brand-new year, I’m reminded that renewal doesn’t come from pressure, perfection, or chasing quick fixes. Renewal happens quietly from the inside out.
It begins in the gut, where so much of our wellness lives…
and in the heart, where faith takes root…
and in the mind, where peace grows when we slow down and breathe.
This year, instead of “resolutions,” I’m leaning toward faith-led intentions — small, loving commitments to care for my gut health, my spiritual life, and my mental well-being.
Here are a few intentions I’m carrying with me:
- Gentle Gut-Nourishing Choices
Choosing food and habits that support digestion, calm inflammation, and honor the body God gave me… not out of restriction, but out of love. If you’re ready to start listening to what your gut needs, tools like microbiome screening, gut-supportive supplements, and simple daily habits can be such a blessing. - Deepening My Spiritual Health
Making room for prayer, Scripture, quiet moments, worship, and gratitude — because when the soul is nourished, the body follows. - Protecting My Mental Peace
Letting go of hurry. Setting boundaries. Being kind to myself. Allowing rest. Choosing stillness when the world feels loud.
And one practice that truly anchors me?
Journaling! A Loving Way to Begin the Year With Intention
Writing helps me slow down. It helps me process what my gut, heart, and mind are asking for. It helps me notice God’s hand in my life. Even a few lines a day can shift everything.

As we welcome the new year together, my prayer is that you find peace in the process. That you listen gently to your body. That you honor your mind. That your spirit stays rooted in faith. And may God meet you in every season — renewing you from the inside out.
With gratitude & love,
Mary
