This Is the Season to Review, Not Rush
As the year winds down, I’ve been very intentional about slowing myself down — not to stop, but to review.
This week, I found myself reflecting on the year as a whole.
What worked.
What stretched me.
What needs refinement before I step into the next season.
End-of-year isn’t about pressure. It’s about alignment.
I’ve been spending time reviewing goals, resetting priorities, and making sure the foundation I’m standing on is strong enough for what I’m building next.
What I’m Focusing On Right Now
Right now, my attention is on a few key areas:
-
End-of-year review & goal setting
Looking at where I am versus where I’m called to go. -
Education & growth
Books, mentors, and continued learning that sharpen my thinking and decision-making. -
Mindset shifts
Releasing habits and thought patterns that no longer serve this next level. -
Environment, discipline, and focus
Protecting my time, my energy, and my peace. -
ALF systems review
Reviewing files, cleaning up documents, and storing things properly so nothing carries over messy into the new year.
This season is about preparation. And preparation is a form of faith.
Personal & Business Highlights
Behind the scenes, we’re doing a lot of quiet but important work:
-
Supporting clients as they finalize and organize licensing files
-
Reviewing ALF documentation to ensure everything is inspection-ready
-
Preparing systems and workflows so 2026 starts clean and focused
-
Continuing conversations with new clients who are planning their ALF journey strategically, not rushed
I’ve learned that clarity comes when you give yourself space to review instead of constantly reacting.

Conference Update — Momentum Is Strong
The 2026 ALF Caregivers Conference continues to gain momentum, and tickets are steadily moving.
This conference is designed for those who are serious about elevating how they serve, how they lead, and how they build in the assisted living space.
If attending is part of your 2026 vision, I encourage you to secure your seat now. This is not an event you want to wait on.
The ALF CEO Mastermind — Limited to 20 Spots
For those who know they want to go deeper, the ALF CEO Mastermind is an exclusive opportunity that takes place the Sunday following the conference.
This experience is intentionally limited to 20 attendees and includes:
-
A private Mastermind Brunch with me

Personalized strategies based on your specific ALF goals

One-on-one hot seat coaching

Access to a guest speaker sharing insights not available elsewhere
This is for leaders who want clarity, direction, and accountability at a higher level.
Important:
To access the Mastermind, you must first purchase your conference ticket, then add the Mastermind experience. Once the 20 spots are filled, registration closes.

Your Takeaway for the Week
Before you set new goals, review the ground you’re standing on.
Clean up what’s unfinished.
Strengthen what’s working.
Release what no longer fits.
A focused ending creates a powerful beginning.
Move into the new year with discipline, intention, and faith — and you’ll be amazed at what unfolds.
