By January 18th, most New Year’s resolutions are already toast.
There’s a name for it: Quitter’s Day. UG that sounds so sad.
Motivation isn’t a plan.
So for 2026, try this instead—pick one rule, not a resolution:
8️⃣ + 8️⃣ + 8️⃣ Balance your life
1️⃣–3️⃣–5️⃣ Focus your day
⏱️ 10-minute focus to kill procrastination
90–90–1️⃣ for a goal that changes everything
Don’t dabble. Pick one. Practice it.
Four months from now, you’ll be glad you did.

Why the Right People Change Everything...

I was recently reminded—again—why community matters so much. This teaching came from Mark Cole, CEO of Maxwell Leadership, and it made me think—in the best way.
He broke down what truly makes a great community, and as I listened, I found myself quietly saying, Yes. That’s it. That’s what we all long for.
1. A Community That Celebrates You
It celebrates who you are today—your story, your gifts, your progress, even the unfinished parts.�The payoff here is value. You feel seen. You feel appreciated. You know you matter.
And let’s be honest—when you’re celebrated, you show up differently.
2. A Community That Stretches You
Now, this one can be uncomfortable—but it’s essential.
A healthy community doesn’t let you stay stuck. It challenges your thinking. It raises the bar. It lovingly says, “I see more in you.”
The payoff? Growth.�Not pressure. Not shame. Growth that comes from being surrounded by people who believe you can become more.
3. A Community That Inspires You
You know you’re in the right room when someone else’s courage wakes something up inside you.
A great community inspires you—not through comparison, but through possibility. You leave encouraged, reminded that you’re not alone, and that forward motion is possible.
The payoff here is encouragement—and we all need more of that.
4. A Community That Sustains You
This one goes deeper.
A true community nourishes your soul. It sustains you when life feels heavy. It offers strength when your own feels thin. It’s a place where faith, hope, and truth are spoken freely.
The payoff is nourishment—the kind that keeps you going when motivation runs dry.
5. A Community That Completes You
This isn’t about dependency. It’s about belonging.
A great community fills in the gaps. It reminds you that you don’t have to do life—or calling—alone. There’s a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from walking alongside others who share your values and your heart.
The payoff is fulfillment.

So, What Makes a Community Great?
It’s a group that:
Celebrates you → Value
Stretches you → Growth
Inspires you → Encouragement
Sustains you → Nourishment
Completes you → Fulfillment

I also know there are women here who are writing—or have written—a Christian faith-based book and may be quietly carrying that dream on their own.

If that’s you, I want you to know this:�you don’t have to do it alone.
There is a growing, faith-centered writing community where women encourage one another, pray for each other, and help each other move from “someday” to “it’s finally done.”

If you’ve been feeling that nudge to write, finish, or steward the message God placed on your heart, I’d love to connect and point you in the right direction. No pressure—just support, clarity, and community.

Sometimes the next step isn’t working harder.�It’s finding the right people to walk with you. 💜

When you find a community like that—hold onto it. Better yet, be that kind of person inside it.

Because the right community doesn’t just support your journey…�It helps you become who you were always meant to be.
And honestly?�We aren’t perfect, but I see the growth in each of us. I love this community. 💜If you would like to join us, go here:
