January Column

Hi everyone, happy January and happy 2026. This year is going to be epic for everyone!!!

The Japanese word Kotodama means “the true spirit of words” or “from my soul to yours,” It is something that has very deep meaning.

It’s important to remember that words are living forces.

What we speak becomes the shape of our days. If we wake up thinking everything is bad, expecting only the worst, that’s the day you’ve laid ahead for yourself. If we wake up, look in the mirror, and say, I am special. I am worthwhile. My life has meaning and value, and today is gonna be a great day. I expect wonderful things to happen — this is what your day will become.

Because really, all we have is right now. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not here yet. Today is all we have, this moment right now. So in 2026, let’s try and live in the moment. Enjoy the moment, realizing that tomorrow is an entire new universe of possibilities.

As we move into 2026, let’s choose words that restore peace —
tranquility within our thoughts,
peace within our homes,
a new calm within the shared space of humanity.

Understanding begins when we listen without fear.
Kindness grows when we act without expectation.

My father, Sir Jason, believed that true peace is not distant or political —
it is personal, practiced daily, and offered freely.

May your words this year carry light.
May our intentions bring harmony.
And may peace, once spoken, continue to live through us.

Happy January! Happy New Year!
