⚠️ Before today’s Hug — read this first

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

And if we’re being honest…

You’re probably hoping 2026 feels lighter than this year did.

That’s not weakness.
That’s human.

But here’s the part most people don’t want to hear:

Nothing changes on January 1st just because the calendar flips.

The weight you’re carrying today
is the weight you’ll bring into the new year —
unless something interrupts it.

So we built a quick 2-minute check-in for this exact moment.

Not as a resolution.
Not as another thing to “work on.”

Just a way to let us understand where this year actually left you —
so the Hugs you receive going into 2026 can land closer to where you need them.

No typing.
No fixing.
Just honesty.

👉 Take the 2-minute check-in before the year ends

Because starting fresh doesn’t mean pretending nothing happened.

It means being seen for where you actually are —
so you can move forward from there.

(Today’s Hug is still below. But taking this might change how you walk into 2026.)

Daily Hug #205: The Coffee Order Wisdom

A barista once told me, “People reveal their whole personality in how they order coffee.”

The rushers?

Overextended.

The apologizers?

Too used to shrinking.

The jokers?

Masking something tender.

The quiet ones?

Carrying thoughts too heavy for 8:00 a.m.

Radiant Human,

However you order your coffee today —let it be without apology.

You deserve the flavor you want, the pace you need, and the space you’ve earned.

With extra warmth,

The Soul Council

P.S. And yes, your complicated order still matters. So do you.
