TWISTED SPICY SERIES-COMPLETE ROMANCE
DESCRIPTION
SERIES COMPLETE!
THERE’S A MISTER FOR EVERYONE…
Mr. Perfect
He is SO Alpha! Ellie is the “celebrity concierge” at Stonewall Entertainment. She’s good at it. On most days. Just not the day her new boss, McAllister Stonewall, shows up and catches her secretly sexting in his debut executive meeting.
Mr. Romantic
He’s SO DARK! Ivy is the “preacher’s daughter” and she’s desperate for a job when a sweet opportunity comes in from the infamous Mr. Romantic. Nolan Delaney might be deliciously hot, but he’s got a dark side lurking under that charm.
Mr. Corporate
He’s SO Prince Charming! West wants a girl who needs him and Victoria can handle things just fine on her own, thank you. But now that West is back, so are all her old secrets. Like it or not, she might need him to save her.
Mr. Mysterious
He’s SO Off Limits! Cindy does not give a crap about the best-friend’s-little-sister rule. She wants Mr. Mysterious all to herself. He’s dangerous, and moody, and probably shouldn’t be drinking whiskey for breakfast. But lucky him—she’s willing to be his partner. Everyone needs a team, right? She’s not afraid of a little scandal
Mr. Match
He’s SO Right For Me! Katya is a girl with secrets. Is she a Russian spy? A liar? Or just a lost girl who fell in love with the “right” wrong man? Meeting Mr. Match four years ago changed her whole life. Who knew fate would intervene just when all hope was lost? But she should’ve known better. She doesn’t deserve him.
Mr. Five
He’s SO Not Getting Away! Rory and Five were best friends, childhood sweethearts, and the definition of soul mates. Nothing could ever come between them. Except Five thinks she’s better off without him. But Rory Shrike wants her man back. And not even the genius brain of Mr. Five will stop her.
Mr. & Mrs
Is it the wedding of the century? Or a disaster in the making? All the Misters are gathered together on Five’s island paradise for the most outrageous wedding ever!

SO DON’T WORRY IF IT DOESN’T SHOW UP RIGHT AWAY.
MY ANSWER
I am releasing so many books in 2026, it’s insane. Since I took most of 2025 off, and all the books I did actually release in 2025 were written in 2024 or earlier and I wrote every day until July, then every day again in September to now, I have a LOT of books that have been written but not released.
You’re seeing some of them here in the Giveaways – Her Chains, Her Choice Mafia Romance – Spring 2026 Release with the audiobooks by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor.
And Book of Legion – Dust and Flowers etc novellas. Winter novella release, Summer Omnibus release with the Audiobook narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Summers.
But I haven’t even barely mentioned the Dark-Dark Romance series that starts next Friday with the Triple Xmas Christmas Story – a 6-book super-dark, super spicy series that will release weekly January 2026-February 2026.
So my first half of the year is filled and that’s not even including my pen name project (two of them actually) one I will tell you about because it’s relevant, one I won’t because trust me, it’s a Trucker Post-Apocalyptic serial that you guys will have NO interest in. But it’s already written, I just never released it. So that’s on the schedule.
And… I still have to finish the first leg of the Sacred Trinity Series – Town Disciple. Two books missing from that first set that will get written in 2026 for sure, but possibly released in 2027 as I wait on audiobook production.
AND – the third Game of Gods Romantasy book. (OUTLANDS, it’s called) I know some of you are really waiting on this and I sincerely apologize for the long interval between books. But Game of Gods takes me a really long time to write compared to some of these others. So I need the down time to focus. That will come in the fall of 2026, I suspect. So looking at a 2027 spring release.
If I have time at the end of 2026 I will start the third and final SICK WORLD book.
My year is full. But at least I don’t have to move house this year (to a whole other state!) I’m 100% settled for the next several years. Bought my little Iowa house cash, so I’ll just be here saving up to buy the Wyoming ranch (cash) for a while. 🙂 I refuse to take out a mortgage. Refuse. My monetary goal for 2026 is DEBT FREE. I’ve got a car loan, a truck loan, an RV loan… so yeah. Gonna be paying shit off little by little.
P.S. Just FYI – the reason I have so many novellas is because that’s mostly what I wrote last year. I fully intended on releasing them over the summer and fall but the whole house-selling thing got in the way.
So they’re piled up and just need to go out.
And who doesn’t like the cumulative psycho-stress of weekly releases, amiright? lol
AND HERE is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s giveaway!
Make sure you stop by and enter!
BTW – THERE ARE SIX FUN WAYS TO STAY IN TOUCH with me.
ONE – I ust got myself a TIKTOK ACCOUNT! yes, I know, I know. I’m years behind he times. I just really don’t like socials and I didn’t want a new one. But I finally took the plunge.

My one goal for 2026 is just be happier. The past few years have been not so good for me and my family.
I have to say this is the series that brought me to your world and I just love it
Anyways next year to get through the 2nd year of my degree which is so hard as someone who has been out of education for 30 years to go back and get in that mindset is just so hard!
Travel more see this beautiful planet and take more risks you only get to punch the ticket once
Make a bit of a dent on my TBR but also add so much more
My goals for 2026 are pretty simple. My boyfriend and I are moving into a new house at the beginning of the year so getting moved in and situated with everything at the new place. Getting my life back on track-I am disabled and my health has been really bad the past few years. So focusing on drinking more water, eating better, sleeping better, losing more weight. I also want time to focus on myself and do something I love whether reading or a movie or visiting friends.
My goal for 2026 to spend more time planning fun! I tend to get lazy and then wait till the last minute to make plans.
My goal is to eat a bit healthier.
overall enjoying life, trying to be healthier, read more, …
My goal for this year is to keep my job lol. With the political climate both federally and on a state level teachers are no longer guaranteed jobs no matter how long you have been there so every year is exhausting with worry to stay on your game. So I want to stay on my game for my kiddos because no one really wants to teach alternative school kids.
Celebrating my 50th next year and after a rough 2025 my goal is to focus on positivity and manifest good things into my life.
2026 goals: getting my library together.
Staying healthy, traveling and enjoying life.
To read more books and maybe not work so much. More family time.
Apparently 2026 will be reading more JAHuss. I’ve missed you in 2025, but I know you’ve been busy with the move and everything; so it’s all good
My goals for 2026 is to be happier & more Joyful, hoping to meet someone, reading a lot books in several genres enjoy life more, writing 2 books for fun and more me time/self care time for myself.
I’m going to kick cancers ass in 2026!
To spend more time with family and not worry so much!
My main goal is to purge a ton of ‘stuff’ this year. I have too many things that I simply don’t need and at some point we will downsize so it’s always a great time to start getting rid of the clutter. I’d also like to eat better but that’s my goal every year lol
Cheers and thanks xx
Im really sick so my main goal is survival. Also to get my daughter through graduation. Which is a big deal for her.
I plan on reading more!
In 2026 I will maintain my happiness and increase my exercise through biking and paddle boarding; I will find the sweet professionally and add travel into this years plan! Health and happiness!
My goal for 2026 is to resign from my second job and run my quilt shop full time. I am so close to doing it I can see it. It makes me think of Ellie in Mr Perfect and her dream job.
I normally don’t set a goals. The pressure and potential disappointment do nothing for me 😂 I just want to read, keeps my kids happy and healthy, and plan an epic post-deployment trip for my hubby.
Well, first I plan on reading all of your new releases.
DIY around the house, my library needs some work.
Firstly I would like to say the Mister Series is the first books I ever read as a adult . I loved that series so much I read them over and over again . That was just over 2 years ago . Now
I have read over 450 books and your Mr series is what have me the love of reading . So Thank you those books will always hold a special place in my heart forever .
In 2026 my goal is to contuine focus of my health so I dont relaps . I would like to travel abit more and maybe finish one of the novels iv been trying to write without having brain fades lol.
Work on being healthy and hopefully paying some debt. Biggest goal is to read more!!!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
So I started my weight loss journey this year and so far I lost 40 pounds I want to continue that into 2026. I am I just I don’t know if I need to smudge my house and myself in my car. 2025 has been rough from beginning to end. So for 2026 I just want a nice relaxing year that is my goal to not let a little things get to me so much to not focus on all the bad things that are happening and focus on the good.
My goal/challenge for 2026 is to finish the remodeling of our townhouse. The living room/dining room is the only thing left. Paint, flooring and furniture.
Health, family, happiness.
Ooh, all my goals for 2026… Well, just to list a few as it is still a work in progress…
* Be the best nanny ever – grandson due April
* Get back to my hobbies – I put them on the backbone far too much despite them bringing me so much pleasure and calm
* To continue to improve my health – to drop meds, to drop weight, to drop mental fatigue
* To read more – put down the phone and doomscrolling and indulge in pages!
* To improve my finances – New job, new income streams
Gonna make a mood/vision board to help achieve these and more!
My goals are to try to get out more, be happier, and just to be less stressed so it doesn’t effect my grandsons as much. Also not to let my depression and my Fibromyalgia define who I am any longer.
I never really set goals but i will try not to be in such control of everything, especially those things out of my control.
2026 goals are to stress less about the small things. And to enjoy every minute with my family. I want to make amazing memories with my children and grandchildren. Life is too short to stress the small things but my brain is just not listening. Lol
We bought a new caravan in 2025 so 2026 is the year of adventures!
For 2026 my goal is to continue working on being a healthier me
Oh gosh! I’ve never read The Mr.’s series!
I don’t ever have any goals beyond getting through my days , one foot in front of the other. All the happy little accidents that happen between times are just bonuses, ha!
Happy holidays, Julie! 🎄❤️🎄
My goals are to get healthy and in better physical shape and to start my own little business.
Im still wanting to beat agoraphobia. I may never beat it but I am slowly getting better. 15 years is alot. I also would like to gain a few pounds as I lost a little more than I wanted. I want to also do more outside
Saving money. I would love to build a house this year so definitely want to save money. Also, love this series! BUTTER!
I need to get through tax time. That is my goal.
More travelling and more reading.
My goal is to have better mental health and prioritize myself more.
My 2026 goal is to spend more quality time with family!
My goal for 2026 is to stick to my budget better and embrace the goods parts of my life
My goal is better health for me and my husband. Also sticking to a budget.
I’m not one for goals like I don’t do the New Year malarkey. I just want to survive the year and read more.
My goal is to finally get my teeth fixed
I plan on learning and developing more skills at work.
We’re hoping hubby has a job.
My goal is to go through gastric bypass surgery that I am pretty terrified about.
Our family is also starting fresh with a new house in 2026. Can’t wait to move in. Im terrible about New Years resolutions so I just try to be the best me I can be.
Goals for 2026
– Get back to work. I’ve not been able to work because my knee has been so bad.
– Get knee fixed
– Enjoy every little moment with my first grandbaby 🧡
To get rid of one thing a day that I’m not using by donating or giving it away to friends/family.
To focus on not taking things so seriously.
To get pregnant is my only goal. Fertility is an issue I’m having and I’m finally going to put it first no matter the cost. Going into debt for a child seems like a better thing than debt of things
Mine are the usual, start walking and hope to lose a few pounds. Eat better to help lose those pounds. Read more. Thanks for the chance!
I don’t really set goals for myself but this year I plan to get in better shape physically. I just want to feel better in my skin as I’m getting older
I want to be more active, get out and interact with people
My daughter is getting married in April! So the first part of the year is all about my daughter😂
After that I want to travel more to new places.
For 2026 I want to work on my time management/ organization because I am absolutely horrible with it. I also want to just enjoy every day with my daughters and make sure every year is better than the last, like we already did this year
Stay financially stable. Make a budget and stay with it.
Find a new job or at least transfer outta my store. Be more active
Continue to push past my comfort zones but also to step back to enjoy what is actually important to me.
my goal is to finish this giant custom diamond painting of my mom (who past away four years ago) and her great grandchildren. This year I made 500 greeting cards
My goal is to be better. To myself, work, friends. I need to not check out on life, and be in it more.
My first is to officially become full time at work, I’m currently only part time but almost working full time hours due to short staff so I want to make it official.
Second I want to actually read more of my physical TBR because I’ve read maybe 5 physical books all year and I have to many to count. I keep reading on my kindle.
I think I also want to finish paying off my car if I can next year too.
My goal for 2026 is to travel abroad. These past few years I’ve holidayed in the UK but I’m determined to save up and have some flying to other countries trips.
I don’t do goals and resolutions, but I sure would like to be less busy next year. Just saying.
It wasn’t something I anticipated doing in 2025, but we became debt free! I figured it would take at least one more, maybe two years to get the mortgage paid off, but then my mother in law passed away, and we used inheritance to accomplish it. Now we’re focusing on putting as much in savings as we can so that we can pay cash for a house. That’s my goal for 2026, move east and buy a house
I don’t set any goals, I just want my kids to succeed since they both have exams and competitions this year.
I don’t set goals or resolutions. I just hope to be a better version of myself next year.
To spend a lot more time with my granddaughter and to do more self care and enjoy my time. Also more reading as well.
After two years of being unemployed, I finally got a job! Therefore, my goal is the same as yours – to become debt free. It will probably take longer than 2026, but it will be a great start!
My 2026 goals are to read more books, make at least 4 crochet zombie dolls for my friend’s craft shows, and to work towards learning more at work.
My biggest goal for 2026 is to land this promotion at work. It includes company car for business & personal use, plus a salary that is double what I make now. I’ve been working toward it for the past 6 months, and I’m nearly there! This will change my girls & my lives, and my kids are my world. I want to be able to provide for them everything they need and want.
I desperately want to get caught up with going through all of my wildlife photos. I’m so behind.
Whenever I consider all the things I want to accomplish the whole ‘paralysis by analysis’ thing sets in and I wind up accomplishing very little (at least that’s how it feels).
One thing I’ve been determined to do is to identify my great-grandfather. This story is actually quite entertaining if you are in the soap operas. My great grandmother became pregnant with my grandmother through an affair. She wound up marrying someone else and putting HIS name on my grandmother’s birth certificate when she was born a mere seven months after they married. Thanks to everyone who has matched with me through DNA I have at least narrowed down the family and generation he was from. I tried messaging my closest DNA match but I think the idea of that one of their parents or grandparents had an affair didn’t sit well. It almost felt like I was asking for money or something, which I find hilarious but apparently the English do not. Getting closer every day though.
To be more motivated and focus on my health
I don’t know what my goals for 2026 are. Lose 30 lbs, focus on reading more of my physical TBR, get more organized (adhd makes staying organized really difficult).
I haven’t thought about goals. I guess I’m always on the go with a 15 year old I only think about her not wanting something so I can sit on my booty all day one day. I would love to be debt free but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
I don’t set goals so I don’t disappoint myself! I am my worst critic!
I want to get fully qualified to drive and pass my test, and I want to successfully plan, pay for and take my three trips abroad this year.
I plan to stay more active and eat healthier.
My main 2026 goal is to do updates to our little house – remodel bathroom, new kitchen countertops and new patio.it will be the first major updates since 2015 so I’m excited.
I have a few goals for 2026….to me more active, read more, less procrastination and more motivation….and finally, to make more time for me….for me to stop putting myself last
My goals of 2026 are: Move, get a good job and downsize the amount of excess items I have.
I have a few goals for 2026. One is spend more time with my family. The other is clean out a couple of our buildings and hopefully get rid of a bunch of stuff we do not need.
No big plans. Just want my family to be happy and healthy and continue making memories little and big.
To have a better 2026 than this year was! Lol, this just really wasn’t my year. So I’m planning on focusing more on healthy eating and exercise, since the majority of my problems this year were health related.
My goals for 2026 is retiring and traveling. Making up for years working too much and not stopping to smell the roses.
My 2026 goals (if you can call them that) are Reno’s and relaxation mixed with reading and travel. .
I will also be working on my stain glass skills!
2026 Goals: Do a job that I enjoy; get in shape and just get healthier.
Taking my husband on a nice vacation just the two of us.
Continue training for Spartan races – finish my projects.
Retiring and pivoting to all the projects that I havent had time to do …. including pulling up a beach chair and reading so many books that I’ve purchased, but didnt have time to read onh and also i need to lose 15 pounds because the holidays wreck me. Looking forward to all of your book releases Julie. Especially the Outlands when you get that one done. If I die before I finish reading the Game of Gods series, someone here needs to send me copies in Hell because I’m gonna be really agitated if I never know what happens to Clara Birch.
My biggest goal is to renovate my new home. We bought our first house in June of this year. I want to start with my room. The master bedroom came with a sunroom. I want to make the sunroom my home library with floor to ceiling shelf’s on all the walls. I’ve already painted the walls in the room and light coral color. And I want to paint the book shelf’s a sage green. Add a comfy chair and change the light fixture to a chandelier. After that hopefully finish the project I started in the living room. I’m saving my kitchen renovation for last. It needs to be gutted and redone completely.
Not necessarily goals but a mantra, living my best life!
I never really set goals for the new year but I guess if I was going to I would continue on my weight loss journey and try to hit my goal. I started in March 2025 at 340 pounds and as of today Dec 7th 2025 I am 248. I still have about 60 pounds left to lose.
Continue to read daily. Exercise more
2025 didn’t go as expected and I currently find myself without employment. So figuring that out is a huge goal.
Additionally I’d like to spending more time painting, travel some and knock several our our bigger house goals off the list.
Urm my only goal for 2026 is to get accepted into my grad scheme program for cyber security / penetration testing…. wish me luck! 🙂
Try to loose weight and get healthier due to my liver. Wish me luck! 😁
My goal is to visit my mom at least twice in 2026. Im a caregiver for my FIL and it limits my ability to visit her. Luckily for me she is a healthy, happy 81 year old.
Mine is to start chair yoga
I have 2 main goals…. Lose 25 more lbs and get a promotion at work. Crossing fingers on both 😁😁
My biggest goal is for my fiance and I to get a house before we tie the knot in October of next year.
Hike the Camino in Spain.
My goal for 2026 is to get my to be read list down or make it bigger lol….and to open my library to reading more different kinds of romances…
My goals for 2026 are to be healthier and try to walk everyday. I also would like to take a CNA course and pursue that. Over all just better my life and be a happier, healthier person 🙂
My one big goal is to get my mental and physical health better than it is. Spend more time with my new grandkids if possible. And hopefully have my mom and dad another year, they are both 85 and struggling. But they still live in their own home a few doors away from me their primary caregiver.
Read more books lol. Go out more.
My goals for 2026 are to keep all of us from going insane when we move again!
Not sure what my goals for 2026 will entail. Hopefully just another happy year.
Celebrating my 25th anniversary, expecting another grandnugget. Just being happy and healthy with no drama.
I don’t make goals because I know I’ll end up not falling through.
Thanks for the chance!
So many goals! Debt free, cleaning my house and getting rid of unused stuff that is piling up!
To have more me time traveling, reading and just enjoying life.
I have RA and suffer with a lot of pain so I don’t make plans.
My one and only goal for this next year is to try to make sure my husband survives losing his health insurance when he has severe heart failure and diabetes. Our 8yo daughter needs her father.
I would like to be more active and social next year. I need to get myself out of the house.
Survive
Would like to improve a few things around the house
Enjoy life more.
I have a few goals for 2025. I want to sell my RV, and I don’t want another one. I want to continue my weight loss. I list almost 50 lbs last year. I want my children who are adults to become more independent & they need a kck in th pants to get there. So I plan to di that, just not sure what that looks like.
I have been working on self love this past year and am wanting to follow up with that next year. I turned 50 and thought it was high time I stop the negative self talk and just learn to be more accepting of myself and enjoy each day in all the small and big ways. It sounds like a lot but I have been taking baby steps and just hope to continue forward with that
To find my way out of the grief from losing my dad, Oct 29th.
This will be a rest year. No big projects, not taking on more task. Finish up the house and catch up on reading are my goals 😅
My professional goal (I’m an early childhood special education teacher who teaches children with autism) is to retired strong with dedication to my students and coworkers. This will be my last full year teaching in this way. I will officially retire spring 2027.
Personally: I want to spend more time with my family and create memories! Oh and read all the books you will be releasing! And as always increase my horsemanship and connect with my horses. I want to continue building confidence and control at faster speeds and go to 1 competition with a trainer/coach and 1 competition alone.
Financially pay off debt and save money!
This year I wanted to read every day – I’m going to achieve this. Next year I think my goal needs to be to get healthier. I need to drink more fluids, loose some weight, start some sort of exercise program again. And sort more of the house out – get rid of stuff, be more organised. But I think just develop some better habits.
2026 goal is to get out of debt and always focusing on my mental and physical health.
My main goal will be to declutter my home and make it easier to take care of now that I am mostly an empty nester. With two huge dogs, I need more space and less stuff.
To be happy, spend time with my best friend and listen to all the audiobooks I want!!
I’m not sure that I really have a goal for 2026. I have wishes like for the trucking industry to get better so my husband’s trucking company stays going (3 trucks). I hope my health stays getting better and that I’m done with surgeries. I’m just run down that I give up on goals for now.
Goals for 2026….read more, I didn’t get to read as much this year with my mom’s health care and all, but I definetly have a TBR list as long as my arms and legs put together! Also, camp more, we love camping and plan on more trips this coming year. Spend more time with my siblings and friends and family and DOGS!
My goals for the new year is to get my bathroom remodeled and my yard needs major maintenance from the 17 trees I had removed. I also want to continue to eat healthier.
To get a 100% fit after major operation in October, my cancer came back this year & over had to have my bladder taken away
My 2026 goal is to get better organized in our home/family life.
We are needing to move into a bigger home, closer to my partners work. To do that we have to make different choices budget wise- so I’ll be focusing more on learning to budget and coupon like a boss lady on one of those coupon shows 🤣
To live my life to the fullest!
I don’t set goals or resolutions for the new year, instead I live each day with an objective to do a good deed, be happy, show kindness and be as productive as my body will physically let me be. I live for the joy of my family and am thankful for their love, help and support each day. 💕
My goals for 2026 are to redesign my garden beds and to paint more watercolour pictures.
Staying in one place for a while.
Getting the rest of my things from my husband’s dad’s house.
My main goal is to get in a better place financially, like most of us! The last couple years have been really really hard, with a lot of unexpected changes that I never thought would happen! When I say I have struggled this year, I mean I struggled. At one point my bank account was going to close because I didn’t have the minimum of $5 in there. So, big goals for 2026!
We are the keepers of several generations of stuff. It is so hard to place value monetary senamental and historical on items. A lot of this needs to be gone from our home, one way or another. It’s a daunting task but needs tackled. I hope it’s not my answer to same question next year
My 2026 goal is to be happier and healthier. After a bit of a scare a couple of months ago I want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
My goal for 2026 is to just be positive. Not let anything or anyone bring me down. No negativity
Well, this year I have a child graduating, so we will be doing an 18th birthday party in February, then a graduation party in the summer. This is the last year I will be taking her to Rockfest, unless she can manage the time to go again after this summer.
We will ne moving her into her dorms in August.
Other plans are to “try” and read the books on my shelves that I haven’t read yet, before buying more books. (Probably not gonna happen, i buy at least 1 new book everytime I go to the store)
Other than that, no other plans really. We usually just do stuff on a whim.
I guess those really aren’t goals
So I guess my goal is to keep myself and my kids happy, healthy and safe.
mine would be to continue to work on my health.
I want to do better managing my work-related anxiety and work/life balance. I’ve been internalizing a lot of the pressure and it’s been showing up in my body.
Hope to get our kitchen redone, it really needs it. But I am sure something else will pop up that needs to be taken care of first.
My goals for 2026 are to pass my nail technician course and become a therapist
To graduate nursing school!! That’s my major goal and then to get my autoimmune disease under control again
Personal goals would be to loose weight and get my office organized. My business goals would be to get my website updated and stay updated
Hopefully i will hit my target weight in 2026.
Overall self improvement
No big plans, hopefully hit my weight goal, and maybe take a vacation.
My goal is definitely to lose weight , but I also want to read more , I have done a lot of audiobooks I kinda feel like I got a little lazy
Honestly, I don’t really have any goals other than to just get back on track from the past 2 years of problems that have pushed us further and further downhill and into debt.
Finish getting my mom’s house cleaned out and sold is the biggest one. Self care. Girl trips.
My goal is to read more physical books. I generally do audio books while doing chores, driving ect, but I miss taking time to sit and read.
Graduate from treatment court and stop smoking!!!!
As I previously mentioned, I am not one for setting goals. However, I am working on my mental health and I think about all the doctors appointments that I need to set. Then there is the fact that I don’t fit into my jeans right now so I should do something about that….new jeans would be easier than the other option. 🤔
My 2026 goals get my house organized. Get rid of alot of things.
2. Lose 25 pounds
3. Read more
I want to read your Trucker Post-Apocalyptic serial. It sounds like a story I’d get into . . .
Anyway, my goals for 2026 . . .
1.) The Last O’Clery Witch is supposed to be released sometime in 2026, so I intend to focus on the release and writing the second book in that series.
2.) Being debt-free.
3.) Moving to a better home but remaining where I’m at on the coast.
4.) Finding an all-natural alternative to lowering my blood pressure. It’s extremely high, and I don’t know why. I’m not overweight, I don’t have a stressful life, and I reduced my salt intake. But I would like to avoid taking a prescription. I don’t trust Big Pharma. At all. Also, a prescription drug might lower my b/p, but ruin my liver. No, thank you.
4.) Continue to better myself, follow my path, continue to awaken, crack open the matrix, stay away from people, be my authentic self, not give a shit what people think of me, and blah, blah, blah – all of the above is an ongoing process. 🙃
Focus on my health more, spend more time with family and keep moving up the ladder at my job.
I am aiming to continue improving my health as best I can. I want to focus on being more organized in all the ways. Those are big enough goals for my happiness. Here’s to a fantastic new year for us all!

My biggest goal is to help my son get more social and find more toddler friends!!!
I hope your 2026 is everything you hope for! My goals for 2026 are to get our taxes done early (we’ve always filed extensions and finally submit in October). This is important because we own a business and we are building a house. We have all the footing poured for the foundation and the garage slab is so pretty! Getting us in the dry is our main goal and then we can finish the inside at our own pace and with our own hands! So excited to be moving literally out in the middle of nowhere!
My goals are to stop biting my nails , lose weight.
I hope my family has a better year in 2026. Healthy. Work out more.

No goals…
Well, mine is starting Jan 2nd I have surgery for the 2 time on my brain tumor last one was over 2yrs ago, but it started growing again and its causing brain swelling so my goals are to just make it through that and go from there. At least I get to make it through the holidays before the surgery, this is my way of think positive and for recovery I guess there will be bingeing & book 🙂
Not a glamorous one but it is necessary, gotta get some serious declutter done.
My goal is to get all the feral cats spayed and/or neutered. It’s a 3+ hour drive, round trip…3 days and I’m still not guaranteed 1 of 5 spots, and can only do 2 cats in those 4 days, Monday thru Thursday. Plus I’m feeding them all, and have made shelters with heat pads in each cubby. I’m using cat carriers and plastic storage bins. It’s a lot. I moved her to retire and they were all here. I would never not do this for them. They are the innocent ones in all this.

Sorry…it kept telling me that this comment was a duplicte. That I needed to go back.
2026 will be a hard year as my father just passed and I will be taking care of his estate.
My goal for 2026 is to try not to stress so much over the little things for one. Mainly however it is to clean out my house and my 3 storage units. I’m kind of a hoarder like my mother was but she was to the 10th degree. She’s been gone 7 years and two of the storage units I pay for is full of her stuff. It’s too emotional for me to go through but I have to this year. Just can’t afford to keep paying for storage units. It’s time.
The only goal I set every year is to read 150 books.
My goal this upcoming year is to travel more and go hiking more. I’m also getting a golden retriever puppy, so my other goal is to train him
Gonna study poker more seriously. Take all their money!
Staying healthy, get to be a better sourdough baker, play with my new granddaughter, have adventures with my honey and hang with all my girls!!! And make sure to read great books!
With having so much to do how do you find time to RV? Sure you can write anywhere, but are you able to enjoy your destination once you get there?
I have been living the RV travel life since 2021. My goal is to convince my hubby to stop traveling and put down roots for a couple of years.
If not then I look forward to finding a fun work camp spot with a beautiful view and even better weather.
My goals for 2026 is to continue my journey for a healthy me and that’s to start weight training and maintain my weightloss. If love to read at least 100 books and finalize a place to move.
My 2026 goal is to secure my retirement. Do I stay in my current house? Do I downsize? Do I want a new town?
2026 is going to be work. My mom had to put her last horse down and her dog the same day. Since my dad passed my mom has struggled to maintain her 10 acres. I have made it my mission to get everything cleaned up inside and out. She is a bit of hoarder. It will probably take the entire year to clean out her house and her yard. When my dad passed my mom had 4 horses, a burro and 3 dogs. She lost the last 2 horses and 2 dogs in 2024. My mom just turned 77. She is overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. My goal is to get her property and house manageable for her. Here to 2026!! Cheers
Well I don’t have any exciting goals really, only practical ones. To sort out the Garage finally as we are entering our 3rd year living here, and it’s supposed to be a craft room for my daughter, to get the garden under control how we want it and to manage all the trees we inherited and make it our space instead of the owner before us’s space. And to get some new side gates and outside lights door plugs wired in. See not very exciting but practical. And one for myself to read as many books as I can.
Pay off my car. Build up some savings. Build a garage or storage shed so I can not pay for a storage unit.
To retire!
Just to make it through another year
I’m just not a goal setter .. but I am trying to better myself but I’m not measuring it
Just to have a happy and healthy year for me and my family

A goal I have for 2026 is to start living my life for myself and not for other people!

Lots of moving parts for a couple months but I hate the cold Secondary goal is to see DJT gone for good my any means necessary esp with my son joining the guard. I literally can’t anymore
Travel and be with family and friends more.
My goal is to get promoted in Dec/Jan and to to find a house big enough for us and my in laws that i love for a great price.
I want to take my son to Disney, be more financially stable, and maybe find a new job
Find a job after being made redundant
I don’t usually set goals, that way I am not disappointed when I don’t make them. But if I have any to make for 2026 it would be to lose some weight and get in better shape. I have my first grandbaby due in June. and it would be nice to get up and down off the floor to play with the baby.
I would like to travel and I need find a very good job with the perfect shift😊😊😊😊
My big plans are to loose the last 60lbs. I am down 67lbs this year so far. 60 more to go.
My 2026 goal is the same as my 2025 goal: get published. I’d probably be better off making my goal to actually be able to write instead of getting published, because my muse packed up and left town quite a while ago. And that bitch must be on a round-the-world tour or something. 😂
My goals for 2026 is to get caught up on bills etc, but also hope to get to Iceland and enjoy my trip to Cuba in February.
My big plans for The year or to get my Va rating upgraded help my son get started with college because he graduates high school this year And maybe get some bills paid off
2026 goals are to get in better shape so I can hike further, longer, faster. I need to get my kid graduated and safely into the hands of the Marine Brethren-he’ll ship in late June (it’s coming so fast!).
To find my happy. Like so many others, it’s been a long struggle.
My hubby turns 60 next April and he really wants to visit Scotland. So we have our flights booked and paid for, a couple of lodgings booked. My only set goal for 2026 is to finish planning for that trip to ensure he has a fabulous experience 💖
My fiancé and I have two goals this year: getting married and buying our first house!
My number 1 goal is to be able to work more. This year has been a struggle.
I’m going to continue my health and weight loss journey and hopefully get to enjoy life a little.
One goal is to grow my bookstagram page and enjoy the community it entails. Im going to my first book convention in July, but I’d like to have more experiences like that! My life has Been stuck and on hold for years.
My goal is to get a new job and then get with a financial advisor to see when I can retire.
My goal is not that big. I’d like to find another hobby besides puzzles, crochet and reading and listening to books. 😂 I wish I could paint but sounds like another expensive hobby. I wish I could find a cheap one that leaves me as happy as the rest. Books read in a day, puzzles in 2 days. Crocheting is the only hobby where the money lasts longer 😂
Have a better work life balance
One of my big goals is to be financially stable enough to travel so I can meet my first grandson it’s so hard not having met him in person but I adore all the pics and texts but definitely needing that in person contact. Another goal is to get my health on track try to figure out all that’s going on to take care of things and get my autoimmunes set with a good plan to treat them. One last goal is to get out more and go to some book events.
First: I need to heal and get healthy again. Then I need to get caught up on ARC reading, I’ve let my authors down by missing deadlines. I want to spend more time with family and friends.
2026 has got to be better.
1. Finish the Divorce 🎊
2. Financial Peace💰
Pay off my House
Pay off all Debt
3. New job 👩💼 maybe going back to school 📚
My goals are traveling, hiking new areas and just being happy where I’m at.
I turn 40 on 12/9 so my 2026 goal is to really learn to dive deeper in my hobbies. I get super overwhelmed with not just knowing how to do something. Like I can sew and I have a sewing machine but I really want to make a few quilts I have everything, fabric, etc etc etc but the overall task for whatever reason is just daunting, I need to let go of being perfect from the start and just try. So my goal is to be happy with not being perfect but definitely putting in the effort and start trying. Living in imperfection.
One of my goals for 2026 is to get out of the house more.
1. To find patience a little easier.
(It’s hard with my 3yr old Grandchild and daughter living with me.)
2. To build my savings back up.
3. Read / listen to 500 books.
Biggest goal survive the year . Been an emotional struggle this year going on the second one with out my oldest finding a new norm while pushing through.I don’t want to make huge plans but that’s the biggest one the second smaller things are to be more creative make some of the things have in my head to make try new recipes do new things
My goal for 2026 is to take better care of my overall health. Probably start by eating a little better. And also read more!
One goal that i have is to review more audiobooks instead of just jumping into the next one! Fingers crossed for the 3rd book in The Sick World series. 🤞
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄⛄
My goal for 2026 is to get things more organized and work on finishing up projects around the house.
Well based on your goals, I plan to read all of the books you release next year. My big goal, though, is to retire. My paperwork is turned in and waiting for approval.
Oh goodness there is a short list!
1. Get my body back in shape after having our little one.
2. Ties in with one but work on myself, get my “pink” back
3. Dig into my new role at work!
4. Family before everything else ❤️
5. Of course read all the books 😍
I’m going to try to take more time for myself and give myself some self care. The older I get I’m realizing that it’s not selfish to take time out for myself.
To travel more…
My big plan for the coming year is to do some traveling. We hope to go to Glacier National Park. This has been n our list for several years and it seems like something happens that we can’t be gone from home for such a long time.
To work on my health and the health of my family, to pay off some debt, and to go on more adventures with my family. I’m also going to get more organized. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄
2026 work less, get into a daily stretching routine and continue decluttering
Oh, wow! All the books you’ve mentioned go right in my books-notebook at your name! 😁💜
I plan on traveling to different places in our state that we haven’t been to yet. My husband and I love road trips!
My goal for 2026 is to survive it. I also hope to have a real bedroom before Summer so I can setup my bookshelf again and have sewing corner. ( I have been ensconced in the dining room since 2012) I hope to go somewhere and do something fun at least once this coming year. That’s about it.
I don’t normally set plans, but since we now own the farm (this year) the plans are pretty boring. Paying of debt, improvements to the cowshed and maybe some long time maintenance on the old farm house.
My 2026 plan is to also get debt free. That was my plan for 2025 but the debt kinda spiraled out of control instead. Being more disciplined kinda goes hand in hand with getting debt free. Another plan, I need to learn to say no and stop letting people take advantage of me, this is another reason the debt got out of control. So in short, be stronger, more disciplined and smarter with my money.
I love the fact that you have so many books being released. I listen to your books on my commute to and from work so the audio book releases are what I am most excited about. Also Jason Clarke is one of my favorite narrators so look forward to hearing his voice again. I am grateful for you mind and passion to write so many different stories.
To stay in good health
To read more books then I buy them. My TBR piles are seriously close to toppling and I’m running out of space to put more.
I don’t usually make big goals, but several small ones. My main goal is to get a bit more organized in my studio to do different crafts and to make more reading time.
2026 goal is to actually move more. I need to actually attempt my steps goal every day!
I have no idea. Trying to find a way out of survival mode and get support for my health issues. I’m just tired. Have to get on with it for my daughter so we shall see.
I’m looking forward to all of your upcoming books. Very glad to hear that you are settled into your new home. I got very excited at the thought of a ranch in Wyoming 😂
I just want to enjoy every moment and enjoy the life we’ve been given. Want to vacation with the family this year.
My 2026 goals are to finish my weightloss journey (halfway there). And build my soap and candle business and get our online presence built.
Turn my side hustle of refurnishing furniture into my main hustle
I’m hoping for a happy and healthy 2026. I’ve lost 6st this year so want to continue with that. I want more time to spend with my family and friends. I’d also like a vacation and a new kitchen so we are trying to save up for that!
I don’t tend to set goals as I know I’m not good at keeping them, lol. I would like to keep up with the “healthy” journey I’m currently on. And as I’m getting older, I’m starting to learn to not give a fcuk about other people’s opinions of what I wear/look like. It’s a hard one, but a good one.
Upcoming plans for the new year… well, I don’t have any. The only plans I have for New Year’s is to score my family a platter of the most delicious empandas ever (It’s a thing here, the place only make so many). Otherwise, I’m just doggedly hanging on.
For next year, my only goal is to continue improving my health (physical, spiritual, and mental) and enjoy my son‘s last year at home to its fullest. We already have a trip to New Orleans plan along with two different World Cup games and are working on a trip of the North East region.
My goals for 2026 are to not have any medical debt and to travel more with my kids. They’re getting older and wanting to explore more so I’d like to get out of town.
To be more present with my family. i.e. read less.
My goal is to publish my book, successfully run my daughters Etsy shop while she finishes college, and just be happy. 🤍
Im starting a new job in 2026, mid February. So my main goal is to get acclimated with the new company and new employees that I’ll be supervising. My 2nd goal is to pay off some debt. I got a large chunk paid this year so 2026 is to pay off my student loan debt and rest of my one credit card.
My main goal for 2026 is to keep working on my health, and hopefully reach my goal of losing a total of 100 lbs before my daughter’s wedding in June. I’m already down 79 lbs, so only 21 to go!
My two biggest goals of 2026 are to conceive, and to continue to make my bakery flourish 🥹💕
No im not making any goals besides needing to be more active and just want to be happy.
I don’t have any major plans other than to focus on the family more and finding peace.
I turn 50 in 2026 and my kids are all adults now so I want to stop being such a people pleaser and do more things that make me happy.
I don’t know that I want to set goals for 2026. I feel like when I WANT to do something I enjoy it, but when I am EXPECTED to do something I almost always procrastinate or just don’t do it. So maybe I’ll just pick a few things I want to do and see how it goes this year.
Some goals for 2026 for me include getting more active and hiking outside with my husband and pup, start cleaning out one closet/room at a time to help downsize and spend more quality time with family.
I definitely need to get in better shape and also get my mental health in check.
Being healthier and more positive. Organizing my house.
My goal for 2026 is to do more me things. I’ve been taking care of my parents and family.
I need to read more and get some massages.
I have to put myself 1st.
I’ll be going to The Hard Rock Tulsa author event in April.
I’m not committing to anything concrete for 2026 but I’ll continue on the same path that I followed for 2025. Try my best to stay healthy, keep my finances stable and prioritize family!
My 2026 goals are to continue to get healthier and to be better organized and not to let stuff that I have no control over stress me out
My 2026 goals are to continue to get healthier and to be better organized
My 2026 goal is to get my life together and finally reach some of my goals.
My goal is to make it through the year with no evidence of tumor growth then it will be 10 years since diagnosed with cancer
To get through my TBR list and spend time with the grandkids.
Financial goals for retirement
Complete scanning and cataloguing family pictures, update the family cookbook and make it digital, and continue working on getting to all fifty states….only have 16 left!
I don’t really make any goals, other than my reading goals. It’s usually me just trying to get healthier and get my finances in order. Both of which I usually fail at. lol
Goals are more of a continuation of 2025 since we were derailed with some unfortunate and unexpected events. Continue on the path to healthier selves, physically and mentally. Build our family bond and take a great vacation.
I don’t really make any goals.
I dont make any goals other than reading goals. I take every day as it comes.
I don’t really do goals anymore but of course I’m older. I figure at my age I hope I’ve accomplished all the goals I wanted.
I plan to work on myself this year and to spend more time with my spouse.
Being the best mom I can be. Being a healthier me and losing 60 lbs
I’d like to start a proofreading business for $ versus free
My 2026 is going to busy and full of changes. Since I had my Gastric Bypass in Nov. And my body is in constant flux of change right now. I was in the ER yesterday night for one of those unexpected changes. But I am hoping by Jan. I will have this in a manageable state of working out and being a better healthier me. My family really wants to move back to FL since my father has passed and I’m no longer needed for his care up here. I want to go back home and snuggle my grandbabies. This time we are looking at buying a house so I will be working my little butt off working OT. So as the saying goes new year new me, I’m getting there.
My big goals for 2026:
** Financial – consistent income to re-build for retirement
** Community – make personal connections and get to know my new town
** Home – create original art for and spaces in my new house
My goal for this year is to try to spend less time focusing on things that stress me out and to stop stressing about things I cannot change.
Start up our savings for a house! And a new car hopefully! Also a reading goal I really want to achieve is read 150 books!
2026 – listen and process before speaking. Be more mindful and non judgemental. Take care of my fragile health to enjoy life to the full. Stick to the budget to erase old debt. Listen to the ocean. Oh, and read, read, read.
Hmm, 2026 goals:
1) Oranize and downsize.
2) Go home for a visit.
3) Get myself back on my health path.
4) Get faster at work.
I’d love to finally get back to writing. Also, I must lose weight
My goal for the next year is to be more present, more intentional, more tuned in with the people who really matter to me. To finally start some creative or fun side projects. Would love to keep up my training consistency and want to read even more.
I don’t really set goals. We will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary and my 60th bday next year. Hoping to finally make an overseas trip to France & Italy
To lose some weight, stop procrastinating so much and work on myself.
My goals are to be healthier and be the best mom I can be
My 2026 goals are lose another 20 lbs I have lost 30 and and have 20 more till my goal weight. I added 10 more books to my overall goal list for the year. My last main gaol is to commit to jogging/running. Just trying to become a better version of myself this year ❤️

I want to start exercising and continuing to eat healthy.
Have a holiday adventure and spend quality time with my family.
My goal is to survive. I’m struggling. And right now it’s day to day for me.
My goals are to lose weight, work on myself, and get some projects done at my house. My motivation for just about everything left this year… so looking to get that back.
I don’t set yearly goals. Too hard to keep them. I just do my best to be the best I can be.
My main goal for 2026 is to get my daughter’s wedding planned and hopefully be able to pay it off as we go!!! She got engaged in Oct 2024 and finally set a date for Nov 2026 and has just started planning so lots to get done!!
My goal is to work on purging items in my house and paying off debt. This along with figuring out how to help my daughter pay for college without involving her father. I started a new job the end of October and it involves upgrading the system we use for work… hopefully I will succeed in this job as it’s out of my wheelhouse.
Lots of fun with my son! Banana Ball games, Monster Jam, Mountains trip, etc…
Oof. Finish working on my knees. Treatment to prevent needing knee replacement. Stop W-2 work. Not quite retirement…..
I plan on a lot more travel in 2026. My first trip is already booked.
My goal is to stay away from negative people. My extended family is very draining. There is always someone bent out of shape over the smallest thing. It affects all family functions and I am just so tired of it. I want to live my life in a happy positive bubble. I do not want to give my time and space to exhausting people who never change or learn.
I can do all the pt I want, but if I don’t lose weight and strengthen my core my back will continue to be fucked, so that’s my first goal. 2nd goal is to get a full time job in my field. Weight loss will help with that too! Two goals, everything else will then fall into place
I can’t wait to read your new books! My goals for 2026 are to sell a house, help hubby start a new business and have a huge garden!
My goal is to continue my journey in living a healthier lifestyle. To be more positive and take time for myself. That’s hard as a mom, I’m always putting my kids before myself. I do need to take some time for myself as well.
My gaol is to get out more with my husband. He suffers with agoraphobia so it would be amazing to go on holiday together.
I would love to have a new/ new to me home, desperately. We’re working on it but it feels like when you drop something in the back floor board of the car and you can’t quite reach it from the front seat. Ughhhhhh. I’m just starting to loose patience a little, but we’ll get there in the end.
My goal is to finish painting and decorating my home and to get my greenhouse going.
Just get through the day to day. Deainh with a lot of family members health issues. My dad was diagnosed with middle stage Alzheimer’s, my mom & husband both have their own issues.
My goal for 2026 is just to get where we are comfortable in life. Everything paid off, things fixed up and new everything.
My goal this coming 2026 is to learn to say no instead of yes.
One goal is to make it a smooth move and transition to SC. Our family is there and we’re constantly moving around, due to hubby’s job. So hopefully we’re there longer than two years😂 Kids are getting older and I just want them to be happy🖤
1) Learn Atticus.
2) Learn how to, and consistently post, book videos.
3) Publish 5 books.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary we hope in style. We have had a lot of health problems so we are praying that 2026 will be our good year, to read some of my over 7,000 books., and most importantly continue losing weight.
I’m hoping to get the rest of this house fixed up. Also want to be healthier.
I’m don’t set goals. I just live day by day.
Our goal for 2026 is to clean out, remodel, and reorganize our basement. It doesn’t sound like much, but we have belongings we have inherited from other family members, along with the things we’ve collected over the 28 yrs we’ve been married. It will be a big ordeal, but it will be worth it.
Nothing really planned yet but lots of decisions to make. We need to replace the upstairs flooring, clean out, + reorganize to say the least.
Since I spent the end of the year in a hospital my goal for the new year is to get out and get better without going crazy
Health and family.
First and foremost is to spend all my free time with my daughter. Well with my new job is to try and do my best there. Hopefully that my daughter and myself will move next year. So far that’s my goals.
I want to end next year weighing less than what I started.
My goal for 2026 is to surpass my reading that I will complete in 2026 and to become healthier.
Hopefully to be debt free.
My plans for the year is to hopefully start going to school so I can better the life for my 7 year old twins and just do my best day to day
I have a big girls trip to Scotland planned for May- lots of hiking and hunting for fairy pools in isle of Skye.
I have several things happening this year. First we are getting our house together to sell it. So much to do with it. Also have to get myself healthy. So that will take up at least the first 7 to 8 months. Thwn I think we can just relax for a bit.
Last year’s goal didn’t work out so I’m hoping that next year’s goal will work out for me. It’s still the same goal, so fingers crossed.
Probably finish our house and we’ve been piecing together for 7 years pay off mortgage in the same year would be great and just be a better healthier me maybe spend more time with the grandbabies. And always more travel love to travel see new places.
No big plans really. I rarely make goals or resolutions because when I dont meet one im harder on myself than normal. I just try to make sure Im alive, my family is fed and warm and I show love to others as much as my anxiety will allow me too lol
To eat healthier and exercise!
My only goal is to continue controlling my diabetes
My biggest goal is to declutter my living space. It truly has gotten out of hand, I need to get rid of a lot I no longer need. It’s just hard knowing where to attack first 😄
My life has slowed down considerably as I enter my 60s. I am fortunate to have both of my parents and a wonderful husband plus a great bonus grandparent, and my furbaby. Family has always meant so much and I just want to spend the time we have left together.
I love dachshunds. We have our third little furbaby who is now 12 years old. He came to us as a bull headed puppy. I know dachshunds are stubborn, but lordy, this little guy was beyond anything I’ve seen. It took a while, but he finally whipped us into shape. 😂 If you’re a dachshund pawrent you’ll get it. Anyway, not all dachshunds are lucky in their lives, but some are rescued by some wonderful people who need supplies. Besides monetary, I knit blankets for the dachsies to cuddle in. I try to knit every day. This last year I’ve completed two dozen. (I’m not a fast knitter.) I plan to keep knitting daily and sending the blankets to the dachshunds.
Lastly, I read everyday. I use Reading Insights on Kindle to keep track.
That’s about it. Family, knitting for dachshunds, reading. God willing. 🙏❤️
My goals for 2026 are to find a career I love, VACATION somewhere new, get to the gym regularly and save money
Whoa! Your 2026 is booked & busy!
In 2026 it’s a must that I make my health a priority and realize that it’s ok to make myself a priority sometimes
I spent so much time this year reading random ARCs and while I did enjoy most of them, I missed my OG favorites. My goal for 2026 is to catch up on backlists for my favorite authors (including yours) and enjoying more of what I read.
There is always the weight loss goal but that has been going on for over 30 years so there’s that. After my Mom passed away I have a house full of her stuff and my stuff. My 2026 goal is to make the house my own while keeping the sentiment of both my parents in some way.
To keep my house better organized and to do better with my health. I also want to try to not hold.so many grudges, but at the same time to cut off the people that are only around because they want or need something.
My goals are to eat healthier and walk more
My #1 goal for 2026 is to grow my small business as much as I possibly can.

Goals for 2026

I think my health is going to be my biggest goal this next year. I’ve put it off because of emotional and mental garbage that I had to work through. Now it’s time to work on the physical part.
I want to get my house organized, finish my first novel, and get certified in some computer programs. And probably a dozen other small things that I’m going to put on sticky notes and do a blind pick to get random things accomplished.
I know this is always a goal for many and I have had this as a goal myself, but this year I really, really need to be healthier, make better choices for myself before it becomes an even bigger problem. I know what I need to do, it’s the following through that I struggle with, but one of my sisters has the same goals so we are going to hold each other accountable for our actions. I’m sure there is more to do, but this is the most important.
I hope to get healthier this year!!!!!
I hope my business is continuing to grow. I want to be more consistent with my writing schedule and to create a presentation, class I can teach/ present in 2016.
I haven’t made my mind on what goal I’m going to focus to achieve this year coming. I don’t want to overwhelmed myself like I always do and end up just giving up. So this time i decided to just pick one out of the three I most want to achieve and just focus on that one until I achieve it.
I just ho03 2026 is better than 2025. I will probably be moving closer to family on the east coast even if I would rather not. But I will still try to make the best of it.
Cheers 🥂 to 2026
To continue with my workouts, try yoga for the first time, organize and declutter some areas in my home, and to go on a cruise with my friend.

Get a new job. Maybe try something new. Bored with my current situation and change could be a good thing, a refresher!
Survive the year? Maybe no major illnesses in 2026? That would be nice! But also I’m switching the company to new software that launches Jan 2nd – and doing it alone. So having that be a painless transition would be lovely!!
