Happy December! Welcome we made it through the gauntlet that was Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and probably a few awkward family moments and conversations over the dinner table. We just got back from our first family trip out to DC for Thanksgiving, and we are so glad to be back home in warm, sunny CA. So first - take a deep breath. You did it! Now there’s just Christmas and New Year’s to get through, no big deal. December can sometimes feel like this weird in-between - part celebration, part exhaustion, part busy, part vacation. It’s a crazy fun time! But it’s also the perfect time to slow down, reflect, look ahead and start dreaming about the new year - without the pressure, guilt, or unrealistic resolutions that seem to pop onto our to-do list come January 1st. Today we’re talking about how to start planning for 2026 without the overwhelm, how to create a rhythm and vision for your new year that actually fits your real life and gets you excited about the new year ahead. Let’s get started.
Reminder:
If you grabbed the Rest & Reclaim Bundle during Black Friday - first of all amazing! I can’t wait to work together to create the right rhythm for your family. This is a perfect time to get the right personalized routines and systems in place, so they can support you in 2026 and you can have the best year ever!
If you missed the bundle - don’t worry, friend. This is your fresh start too. I’ve got some exciting things coming in January that will help you design the right routines, rhythms, and systems for the year ahead, so let’s stay connected via email. Make sure you’re on our email list, so you don’t miss out. You can go to the website www.byrdmichelle.com or connect with me at contact@byrdmichelle.com. If you have any questions or just want to say hi and share your favorite Christmas movie (mine is Klause) you can reach me there.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
