Writing Things into Being

I wrote my intention for 2026; want to join me?

For those of you familiar with The Artist’s Way, I started doing Morning Pages around the end of 2025. For those not familiar, I do a three-page freewrite almost every morning that’s just meant to clear my mind and open me up to the day ahead.

This morning, that writing became a spell, and writing it down felt like conjuring it into being.

Writing has always been thus - it’s why Socrates distrusted it, considered it the bane of learning (more on that in an upcoming post). Writing locks things into being, so that people argue over the semantics rather than the reality they’re meant to capture. And yet, that conjuring is sometimes valuable, even necessary, for change. Think of the Declaration of Independence. The 95 Theses Martin Luther nailed to a church door that started the Protestant Revolution. Sinclair’s The Jungle. Writings that revealed the world so clearly that they changed understanding, shaped the world that came after.

My own writing, especially in these morning freewrites, are focused around my world, but they can be equally transformative for me. And so, in the interest of cementing these changes, moving forward with intention, I share my words here. To lock them in, hold myself to them, and tell the world what I want.

Here we go.

I’m taking me back from the ego trap I’ve laid for myself, and I’m ready to be the fucking change.

In 2026, I invite in right-sized recognition of my skills, talents, and abilities. I welcome in people who honor and respect me enough to speak truth in my presence. I invite vulnerability that helps others find their own and success that lifts everyone in meaningful ways. I invite in anyone and anything that builds rather than tears down, connects rather than disconnects, and frees us of burdens. I welcome those who want to do the work of making the world better and who don’t care if they’re seen doing it. I welcome My Tribe, and they welcome me with open arms and heart, abundance and acceptance, and enough spirit to help me keep my ego in check.

I write this into the Universe, and it becomes Truth.

I invite you to join me in writing your intention into the world for this year, and I hope that our own intentions mean our paths will touch somehow in the year that’s coming. Happy 2026, everyone.
