| 6 | +Happy 2026! Let's <a href="https://youtu.be/WeJEHzY-tIY" target="_blank">start the year off with some dancing</a>. 💃 |
| 7 | +This year I promise: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +<ol class="custom-counter"> |
| 10 | +<li>To continue to live with authenticity and integrity.</li> |
| 11 | +<li>To be inspired, diving deeply into ideas and learning.</li> |
| 12 | +<li>To adventure, and look for beauty in unexpected places.</li> |
| 13 | +<li>To not make myself smaller to make others comfortable.</li> |
| 14 | +<li>To push myself physically and do things that are hard.</li> |
| 15 | +<li>To age with elegance, and appreciate myself as I am.</li> |
| 16 | +<li>To believe a person when they show me who they are.</li> |
| 17 | +<li>To dance, laugh, and be curious about the world.</li> |
| 18 | +<li>To prioritize self-care and rest.</li> |
| 19 | +</ol> |
