Against North Dakota Nice: A Truer December

I’ve been moving through one of those seasons where the waves come fast and loud, the kind that make you question everything you thought you had a grip on. My mission, my capacity, my leadership, all of it has been up for review. And while most people don’t see this side of me, it’s real. Life has a way of tossing you from one identity to the next, flipping your lifeboat just when you think you’re steady.

But every time I land in those stormy waters, I’m reminded that safety doesn’t come from the circumstances around me. It comes from who I am. So I’m beginning December with honesty instead of the forced cheer that everyone pretends they’re supposed to have. Because pushing the sparkle button when your heart is heavy is exactly how we end up disconnected from our own lives.

December has a way of bringing everything to the surface. Grief, loneliness, expectations, traditions that don’t fit anymore, the pressure to be “fine” when we’re not. If we don’t tell ourselves the truth, we end up living the same year on repeat. So I’m using this month to get honest about what actually makes me come alive, not what looks good or keeps the peace. I’m asking myself what experiences I want to create, what energy I want to set, and how I want this season to feel as we move toward 2026, a year that’s calling for deeper purpose and truer roots. This December is about creating moments I’m proud of, choosing what feels meaningful, and remembering who I am in the middle of it all.
