Some years feel like winter.

Not the gentle kind — but the kind that strips the trees bare, freezes the ground, and forces everything false to fall away.

2025 was that kind of year.

There are seasons in life when the weight becomes so heavy you wonder how the body still breathes, how the heart still beats, how the soul keeps its quiet fire alive. A season when what you loved, trusted, leaned on, or believed in is suddenly taken — not to punish you, but to awaken you.

Because there comes a moment when the body can no longer hold lies.

When the spirit can no longer tolerate disrespect.

When the soul refuses to remain unseen.

Winter does that. It reveals truth.

And here is the secret no one tells you:

winter is not meant to destroy you — it is meant to restore your rightful position.

I have always been a woman who rises. A phoenix by nature. Some people survive hardship once; others are forged by it again and again. The fire does not scare them — it clarifies them.

This is not a story about the past.

This is a declaration of alignment.

2026 is a Ten year — completion, power, return to origin. And I am, by nature and by design, a Number One woman carrying number 10 energy..The eldest carries an inherent authority. Not because she demands it — but because she remembers who she is.

For too long, many of us operate in energies that are not ours. We dim ourselves, accommodate, compromise, stand in second place out of habit, loyalty, or misunderstanding. And the soul feels it. The unhappiness is not confusion — it is misalignment.

I finally understood this:

I was never unhappy because I lacked anything.

I was unhappy because I was operating in Number Two energy, when I was always meant to stand in Number One.

And that is the shift.

In 2026, I choose people, environments, and relationships that recognise priority without being reminded. I align only with those who meet me in integrity, strength, and elevation.

This is not arrogance.

This is standards.

Queens do not sit at tables where their worth is debated.

Kings and queens dine together — not with jokers, not with pretenders, not with those who shrink the room.

Be very careful who you align yourself with in 2026.

Energy is contagious. Altitude matters.

The eagle understands this instinctively. It does not argue with crows. It does not seek approval. Often, it flies alone — not out of loneliness, but out of clarity.

There is a strength in solitude. A sovereignty in self-definition.

You do not need permission to rise.

You do not need consensus to lead.

You do not need to explain your worth.

2026 is not about following scripts, pleasing crowds, or negotiating your place at the table. It is the year you set the table.

Create your reality.

Set your standard.

Choose your altitude.

And if this year taught us anything, it is this:

You were never meant to be less than you are.

You simply forgot — and now, you remember.

Rising and Risen 2026!
