New Year 2026!
The 250th Anniversary of American Revolution
New Years Eve 2025 Blog Post
Little Angel watching over us, night before 2026.
Here we are, the last day of 2025. I am sitting on my couch, feet up on the coffee table, looking at the Christmas decorations that two weeks ago filled me with so much joy. Our vintage tree topper angel watching over us, smiling gently, can there really be spirit imbued in her sweet smile?
Tomorrow is officially the first day of 2026, the year of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution.
In tonight’s blog post I will share some thoughts about life, art, and ideas for the coming year, 2026. 250 years later.
Beautiful Hopi Medicine Lady.
Earth Changes: Within and Without.
I wonder if it is a coincidence of all that is happening spiritually and politically on Earth at this time, that we would have this significant date. For me it is very moving as well as a little unnerving.
Astrologically there are also big changes, though one can argue those changes began around 15 years ago. I think of it as more of a faceted window, multitudes of closings and openings, reflecting upon each other as we see and create the new - from our perspective and experience as it dances around the many openings.
We see change happening while we also make changes within those layers. My sleeping dreams have been incredibly active. I can tell they are interesting and expansive but, darn it, I can’t remember anything!
I am also so grateful to have immersed myself in quantum healing for the past four years. It has given me a different framework to hold my experiences since my teens, the many years of energy trainings that have opened into a method that is unique to me and supported by the Beyond Quantum Healing community. A huge thank you to Candace Craw-Goldman.
Surrounded by Love.
Project 1776: Plans for the 250th Anniversary.
Written 12-31-2025
I am in the middle of assembling a new ‘Crew’ for the new year ‘Project 1776’ photoshoots. The new dolls I received as gifts this season already have a different feeling than the previous and three of them are Native American medicine dolls! It’s kind of hilarious that I began my photoshoots in 2003 with predominantly native dolls, immersed in ancient sites around the country. In all that time, never once did I come across a medicine doll.
What’s even funnier is that I was very active in healing and shamanic trainings at this time and it never occurred to me that it was ‘missing’ or something that I would need as part of the storytelling. It is one of the reasons why I keep doing what I'm doing, the never-ending surprises that appear when we follow the universal nudges. Even if it takes the Hopi medicine man to spontaneously join 22 years later!
I love that within days of feeling the stirrings of the next ‘Project 1776’ Landscape Installation series, I would see that it would be a different crew of dolls illuminating the new energetic movement. And within that context I should come across not one medicine doll, but three.
It feels a little bit like a passing of the torch, bittersweet and energizing all in one. Robin Hood and Falconer Lady are still part of the magic, but are entering more of a supportive role, ‘semi-retired’, opening the space to the future of what is becoming.
Part of the new crew, looking ahead.
Possible 1776 Photoshoot locations in 2026.
There are a few spots along the Emerald Coast region that I am looking forward to exploring for potential shoots (partly because of the name. While existing mostly undercover, ‘the Emerald’ figures hugely into all of my (hidden) spiritual experiences and story creations :)
I remind myself that the best stories come from allowing, rather than attempting to plan it all out ahead of time. Allowing of the surprises. It is an interesting pause. While the 250th year anniversary is hugely significant, there is also no rush.
Twelve months to immerse myself in all the possibilities and experiences is beyond exciting. The earth has her own stories as well, as a group movement that I am but a small part of.
My new notebook for all things 250th!
What is Different in this Spiritual Journey?
There is also no more ‘pressure’ now than there was in the past. I have a vision, yes. But more often than not, my participation is that of an administrator, so to speak. I hold the energies and follow the story as a passage on earth, but I recognize and step aside when my brain tries to push things in a contrived direction.
It is certainly a delicate balance!
I have spent the last few years imagining other people that are working on their ‘missions’ or projects, that are in some way connected to me and we will likely never meet in this realm on earth as we are now experiencing it.
I see it, I feel it and observe from afar, this knowing in the touches of spirit I witness. And still I have to let it go. It’s hard sometimes.
I know we are so close to this incredible change, and from those glimpses I know it is majestic, and we move in and out in a way that defies logic. Because in that realm, logic has no place. I am also getting older faster than I expected haha Will I see it come to fruition? Sometimes that keeps me up at night.
Most beautiful note & old photo that came with my new 1776 doll, it was very moving to open and hold in my hands.
Where to next!? New Jersey and the City of the Gods, Colorado.
I would like to get back to New Jersey to do a few shoots. Turns out there is a lot more Revolutionary War history there than I previously knew existed. A lot of firsts, a lot of lasts. Significant moments that I only became aware of in this past year. Even with all my past research. Pretty wild.
More significantly, it is where Project 1776 came into being on earth and commenced the many gifts I have received on this journey. I am writing with a smile on my face. I like telling stories. I think there are a lot more in me that will be coming forward. City of the Gods keeps nudging us for a visit. I will leave it at that.
I hope you enjoy the images of some of the new crew that will soon join the more seasoned ‘veterans’. Allowing their mingled energies to bring some greatness to our wonderful country. I am hanging out with them as I write and they are so awesome!
Where do We Stand as a Nation?
She’s so perfect.
Are we on the precipice as some would suggest? Or are we creating this world in a way we already know exists in its perfection? I feel like different realms are communicating and merging. They linger together more often than in the past. What people used to call a (rare) bleed-through event seems to be more of a norm now, almost commonplace. That has been my experience.
There is sometimes a heaviness that I think will crush me, but lately it lifts, moves, expands, morphs or whatever you want to call it. And then, poof, it’s gone. Replaced by a newness that feels familiar like your favorite sweater. I have moments of worry, but mostly the darkness feels like background noise that is no longer able to hold my attention or sway.
I love this world, I love this earth, I love that there are different places and people and art all over the planet in little towns and huge cities, lives lived and greatness all around us. The tragedy of human and animal suffering must end. We get to choose to make that happen.
I can feel the Stories overflowing.
Excitement of What is Yet to Come.
I am inspired to be wholly myself in this world and explore and create with new freedom in my heart, no longer holding onto it so tightly, but sharing with all those that are interested in participating.
I am a pretty private person so it will take some digging to commit to that and follow through, but as I write these words spontaneously and without a script, I have a feeling that this time I will honor it. I hope to meet up with some of you out there. We are so in it!
Some things I like.
Here’s to the magic of 2026!
and finally, just because.
