Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for each of you. Your support and encouragement have been invaluable throughout my wellness journey, and I am truly humbled to share this path with such wonderful people.
A Significant Milestone
This year marks a special milestone as I prepare to celebrate my 65th birthday in May. Navigating the complexities of Medicare and choosing the right program has been challenging, but I am committed to embracing all that needs to be done in the coming months. This period offers an opportunity for reflection and personal growth, and I continue to adapt both my own health regimen and the programs I offer to my clients. I have discovered that some things I once enjoyed no longer resonate with me, and I am welcoming this evolution with open arms. Walking remains a passion, and Pilates continues to bring me joy, helping to keep my body mobile and strong, even as my routine shifts to meet my current needs and desires.
Health and Wellness Coaching
I am excited to announce that I will be hosting another round of group or one-on-one health and wellness coaching programs starting mid-February. These programs will run for either three or six months. I will share more details as the February date approaches and will provide answers to any questions you may have. I hope you will consider joining me on this journey of growth and discovery.
Upcoming Retreats and Celebrations
I am thrilled to announce that I will be returning to Rancho La Puerta for a month in both April and October. This beautiful retreat has always been a source of inspiration and rejuvenation, and I eagerly anticipate immersing myself in its healing environment once again. If you are a first-time guest at the Ranch, I can provide a nice discount. Reach out if you have the Ranch in your plans for a first visit. It would be great to welcome new guests!
Adding to the excitement, I’m looking at a Pilates and culinary retreat in cooperation with the retreat owner in Italy, in the Piedmont area, June 5-12, 2027. I am pursuing combining the retreat with a nearby cooking school. I have also planned an active and fun-filled vacation in mid-May to celebrate my birthday alongside a dear friend, who will also be celebrating her birthday.
Joyful Companionship
a lighter note, my furry companions Goose, now four and a half years old, and Tank, just nine months, have brought endless joy into my life. Their playful presence keeps me busy and fills my days with laughter and unconditional love. I feel incredibly blessed to have them by my side every step of the way.
New Passions and Creative Outlets
While I do not set traditional resolutions, I have truly enjoyed spending more time in my kitchen this past year. Cooking has become a creative outlet, and I am excited to continue exploring and sharing recipes with all of you. Food plays a vital role in our overall well-being, and I look forward to discussing the connection between what’s on our table and sustainable health.
Looking Ahead
Thank you once again for your continued support and friendship. Here's to a year filled with inspiration, joy, and the pursuit of wellness. Together, let's embrace change and celebrate the moments that matter.
Wishing all of you a fantastic new year.
With love and gratitude,
Conni
