DISTINCTIVE LIFESTYLE

                                                                                                    Welcoming in 2026

May this new year arrive like a quiet dawn—soft with promise, steady with light. May you release what has weighed you down and feel the gentle lift of hope rising in its place. May clarity find you, guiding your steps toward what is meant for you, and may abundance flow in every form: love, laughter, health, creativity, and peace.

May the year ahead surprise you with moments of pure joy. May it strengthen your spirit, deepen your connections, and remind you every day that you are worthy of all that you dream.

The magic begins with you.

It begins in the quiet spaces where you learn to offer yourself kindness instead of criticism, compassion instead of doubt. When you love yourself first—not in a selfish way, but in a soul-honoring way—you create a powerful shift.

Self-love becomes the spark that calls abundance into every corner of your life: deeper relationships, new opportunities, emotional peace, creative energy, and unexpected joy. The more you speak to yourself with tenderness and truth, the more the world reflects that love back to you.

When you trust your worth, you become magnetic.
When you honor your heart, doors open.
When you believe you are enough, life expands.

The magic isn’t out there somewhere—it’s within you, waiting to be welcomed, nurtured, and seen. And the moment you choose yourself with love, everything around you begins to change.

Here’s to new beginnings, to fresh pages, to manifesting a life that feels beautifully, authentically yours. May this year be the one where you bloom.


END OF YEAR AFFIRMATION........

I release what this year has completed and let go of everything that was only meant to carry me this far.  I call my energy back from old identities, old cycles, and timelines that have finished their work.  I close the year cleanly, without dragging its weight into what comes next.  I step forward clear, grounded, and self-led, anchored in truth instead of effort.  What is done is done. What's next meets me ready.






 I am grateful for you. Have a fabulous 2026!

Adios, until next year from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

DISTINCTIVE LIFESTYLE Time for a mind shift in your life. What a beautiful time of year this is — the season of Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who celebrate. Yet gratitude is something we can all embrace, no matter our traditions. I feel inspired and open to receiving the miracles and blessings that this season will bring. Open your heart to receive the blessings the Universe is already sending your way. Trust that everything meant for you is unfolding in divine timing. When you shift your thoughts to faith and gratitude, your energy aligns with abundance — and miracles begin to flow effortlessly into your life. Embrace this season with faith, hope, and the deep knowing that you are worthy. Open your heart to new possibilities and allow yourself to receive all the good the Universe has waiting for you. Live in gratitude — feel it in every part of your being. Speak your truth with love and confidence. Trust that you are deeply loved, divinely guided, and infinitely deserving. Tran...

  DISTINCTIVE LIFESTYLE........ The beauty of San Miguel de Allende Mexico The first thing that comes to mind when I think of San Miguel’s beauty is its people. I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating—the warmth and friendliness of the Mexican people are truly remarkable, at least in my experience. Then there is such beauty to be found everywhere you turn, from the parks to the various colonia neighborhoods.  Those of us who moved here from the USA, Canada, and from other places around the world we are inspired to add to the beauty of our surroundings.   Then there are those Expats who volunteer in different charities to work with the local Mexican community, giving back.  Working with helping with the stray dogs and cats as well.  These people give back to the community because they love San Miguel and what it has brought to them by living here.  What I see as an American living here in San Miguel is that I have received so much from the peopl...

DISTINCTIVE LIFESTYLE........... I have shared this saying in this photo in another blog, but it became more relevant to me as I began to write this post. Once you decide to change your thoughts, everything around you begins to shift. The energy in the air feels different, lighter, and more vibrant. A smile naturally finds its way to your face, and your heart beats with joy. You start attracting people who uplift and inspire you—those who encourage you to create and pursue your deepest desires. It feels as if you are constantly surrounded by support, both from earthly companions and spiritual souls. You realize you have your own personal cheerleaders, guiding and cheering you on every step of the way. It will be two years this May since I came to San Miguel from California, traveling back from time to time. Things had to change inside me and it was gradual.  As I began to change how I approached my life over these past months my life kept shifting.  Then once I moved into my n...
