2026 – A Year of Sundays

Happy New Year. It is a phrase often repeated during this season. Familiar. Predictable. Sometimes, even automatically. But what if this year, we choose to receive these words as something more? A blessing. A conscious pause. A gentle doorway into deeper living.

In 2026, I am choosing to reclaim this phrase. Not as something casual or hollow—but as a quiet invocation. An invitation to witness life as it unfolds, to listen for the sacred in the ordinary, and to surrender to what is waiting to be revealed.

A Year of 52 Sundays

This year is not about planning the next 12 months in rigid detail. Instead, it is about receiving each of the 52 Sundays as sacred. As moments of alignment and quiet realignment. Sundays are not merely days of rest. They are soft thresholds, invitations to reflect and reset.

What if transformation is not about striving or achieving—but about allowing?

Whole, Guided, and Prosperous

Each day, I choose to affirm: I am whole—nothing missing, nothing broken. I am guided—led by divine intelligence and inner clarity. I am prosperous—open to abundance in all its forms.

Catherine Ponder (2006) offers timeless wisdom: “When you keep your mind stayed on the idea of prosperity, you are guided to make wise decisions and take prosperous actions” (p. 32). Prosperity is not simply material. It begins in the mind, flows through the heart, and reveals itself in all areas of life.

Not Planning, But Listening

I am not attempting to control the shape of 2026. I am choosing instead to listen. To move inward each day and ask: What is being revealed? What am I being called to notice?

Maxwell Maltz (1960) reminds us that, “Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible” (p. 26). This power is not external. It does not depend on approval, timing, or luck. It begins with the courage to imagine, and the trust to follow through.

Imagine New Greatness

Let “Happy New Year” become more than a seasonal greeting. Let it become a quiet mantra for every Sunday to come.

Let each of the next 51 Sundays be sacred space.

Let your imagination—not your fear—guide you forward.

This is not just another year. It is a year of Sundays. A year of presence. A year of possibility.

Together, let us IMAGINE NEW GREATNESS.

Reflection Prompt for You:

• What does “Sunday” mean in your life right now?

• What would it look like to trust instead of control?

• What can you affirm about your own uniqueness and gifts this week?
