Every time we open our eyes in the morning, we’re given something far more valuable than we often acknowledge — another chance. Another chance to show up, to grow, to shift, to heal, to love, to make a difference in a world that desperately needs more light. We get so caught up in what’s missing, what’s not yet working, or what still hurts that we forget the miracle of simply waking up. Each new day is an invitation, a fresh page, a quiet reminder that we still have purpose in this life.

But as we step into a new year and continue to evolve, it’s impossible not to feel the absence of those who are no longer here with us. Their stories, their laughter, their impact — all of it now lives in our memories. And while their physical presence may be gone, their influence continues to shape who we’re becoming. We carry their lessons forward. We honor them by growing, by choosing courage over comfort, by becoming the kind of people they would be proud of.

So as 2026 unfolds, let’s live with gratitude, intention, and awareness. Because every sunrise is a gift — and every day is a chance to make it count.
