I cannot believe how fast these days of Christmastide are going! Here we are now saying good bye to 2025 and welcoming a New Year.

As we do, I invite you join me for a New Year’s party here at the farm. Well, not a party, more like a time of prayer as I share with you with the Swiss tradition of ringing cow bells on Dec. 31 along with the special Swiss tradition known as the Alp Blessing, an ancient custom of prayer in the mountains to ask God’s blessings and to say, “Remember me!”

We all want to be remembered, don’t we? We all want to feel seen and loved? Yet we all at times feel the ache of loneliness or of being empty.

So come and join me at my old Vermont homestead (click below!) where we start the new year together on a positive note — remembering that the Christ light is always shining on our path and that we never journey alone.

I am looking forward to being together with you in 2026. Blessings!
