Trust: A Word I’m Living Into for 2026
Trust is my word for 2026, following a year of surrendering and allowing life to show me the way. It feels especially potent given what is happening in our country—to not get lost in the noise, to stay rooted, to remember what is true.
Over the last 8–10 years, I have been learning how to trust myself and my own knowing, after a lifetime of outsourcing my trust to everyone else but me. When I did that, I believed others knew what was better for me—and I often ended up more lost, disappointed, and resentful. I began to see how I was breaking trust with myself and with Great Mystery, hoping someone else could save me from taking responsibility for my life and for what I desire.
Reflection: Cancer Full Moon - The Cost of Caretaking & the Gift of Remembering
For many of us, love and belonging were tied to self-abandonment—disconnecting from the wisdom of our bodies in order to be accepted. As we move through life, the characters may change, but the story often remains the same.
Under the energy of the Cancer Full Moon—often associated with the archetype of the Mother—we gathered at the edges of the lake of our lives. We explored how the mother role showed up for us, what may have shaped their behaviors, and how these experiences influenced the ways we nurture others while neglecting ourselves.
Let Winter Hold You — Cancer Full Moon Gathering
Winter is a time of death and deep rest.
When we honor what nature is showing us, we create space for what longs to dream through us. By allowing parts of our lives to die with beauty and grace, we show reverence for the love that was — and the love that still lives — inviting us into a deeper awakening of the soul.
This Cancer Super Moon draws us into our watery depths, illuminating themes of emotional security, home, family, and care. It invites us to release the waves of frustration and over-responsibility in caregiving dynamics that keep us from nourishing our own souls.
With the Moon illuminating Cancer (our private, inner world) and Capricorn (our public roles and responsibilities), we are asked to find a truer balance — one that honors wholeness, sustainability, and spiritual growth.
Reflection: Where Darkness Becomes a Doorway
Seven generations gathered under the Sagittarius Dark Moon and Winter Solstice, standing at the threshold of the longest night to be witnessed as we crossed into something new. Together, we called back the power we had lost or given away across time and space.
Wisdom of Winter
In the deepest dark, we befriend the stillness. Like the snake, we shed what no longer serves us. In the belly. off winter, wrapped in Earth’s midnight blanket, we listen - and find the eternal. flame flickering within..
Beauty in Death
The ocean of grief is vast, and I never know what the day will be - whether it feels as if the waves are crashing over me and pulling me under or just numb or it is sunny and calm. So I ride the waves, while surrendering into the support all around me inviting me to receive the love. As the wings of grief and gratitude stretch me wide and far, I continue to feel the echoes of her love ever present around me in small and big ways.
There is beauty in death & it teaches us how to live more fully. Thank you Mom for bringing me into this world to share the love you generously gave me.

Finding the Love Within
by Jamie Sams
I taste the Red Earth
And acknowledge my humanness.
I feel the urge to create,
And my spirit soars
Like the spiraling hawk.
I touch the warmth
of Grandfather Sun
So my heart will
Never grow cold.
Then I turn to the center
Of my Sacred Space,
Entering the Silence,
To rediscover the
Eternal Flame of Love.
