After December's busy holiday season, January offers a welcome change of pace. While everyone else scrambles to make (and break) ambitious resolutions, I've learned to approach this month differently.
Instead of trying to reinvent myself, I use January to enjoy simple pleasures. My winter evenings are spent with a cup of tea and a good book—no guilt, no pressure, just relaxation. There's something special about settling in with a story while winter weather swirls outside.
My only January tradition is choosing one word to guide my year. Not a resolution to break, just a simple focus. This year, my word is "appreciate"—a reminder to notice everyday moments of happiness, from that first sip of morning coffee to losing myself in a captivating story.
If you're looking for your next great read, the complete Sweetwater Springs series is my newest release and now available in a boxed set. These three sweet romances will transport you to a charming small town filled with hope, heart, and the kind of community we'd all love to find.
Remember, January isn't about becoming a new person. It's about taking time to enjoy life exactly as it is—perhaps with a good book in hand.
