Yesterday, a friend invited a small group of us to her home for a light lunch and a simple craft. The project was to paint a rock with our Word for 2026. She kindly gave us a few days in advance to think about what that word might be.
What I expected to be an easy exercise took more time than I imagined.
As I reflected on everything 2025 held—publishing Caitlin’s Star, learning how to market it, managing family responsibilities, volunteering, caring for my dog, and tending to my own health, I realized how much the year asked of me emotionally, mentally, and physically.
The word I chose was Heal.
Not only for physical healing, but for emotional and spiritual healing as well. For forgiving myself for past lessons, continuing to grow, and staying open to learning. It also represents my hope to heal from the pain in my knees and to move forward with patience (someone did choose this word) and trust.
Painting that single word on a rock felt grounding. It was a quiet reminder that healing is not rushed, and that growth often happens in small, steady ways.
As we move into a new year, I’m holding space for healing in all its forms.
What is your word for 2026?
