2026 has been the Year of the Firehorse. We were told that it would be a wild ride.
And it has been.
Most of us got bounced around pretty hard. Sometimes all the bouncing was inside. But it was happening.
The Year of the Goat is up next, and I’m welcoming a year associated with gentleness, kindness, and harmony.
I invite you to spend time with me getting clear on what you galloped through and what you want to call in for 2027.
*
We’ll breathe, reflect, journal, list, draw, and reflect on the changes. We’ll start to map out the New Year. We’ll plan how we can expand in love, creativity, and abundance..
We’ll pause here on the Continental Divide, at a beautiful vantage, looking back and looking forward. We’ll take stock and set our path.

WHAT WE GET
We get a dedicated space to think about our wild and precious life. These are sessions devoted to exploring our dreams for ourselves and the world, then finding a path for moving forward every day toward a better tomorrow.
We get to gather with others devoted to exploration and evolution.
We get to come away inspired and enlivened and better equipped to answer the question, “Where am I going and what will I do today to get there?”

FLOW FOR ONE HOUR
At 5 pm Eastern Time every Sunday afternoon for three weeks during December and January, I offer you a space to envision our lives–the world and the life we want–how to talk about what we experienced, how to appreciate where we are, and how to make things even better.
These are the popular Sunday Sessions, 1 hour on Sunday evening devoted to you and your journal.
When you sign up, you’re signing up for all sessions. The Zoom link you receive will be the same for all sessions.

THE THING YOU DREAM
The size of your dream doesn’t matter. You may dream of a pollinator garden off your back deck or of starting a nonprofit or a center. You may dream of a happier relationship or a book you want to finish writing. You may want to run for senator. And win. Or for school board. You may dream of a new job or no job.
Journaling Firehorse fits all kinds of dreams.
✍️
HOW THE TIME GOES
The hour consists of
- flow-writes
- journaling exercises
- tiny PowerPoint presentations
- simple art
- fun page design
- short meditations
- breathing
- readings
- visioning
This is not a time for sharing. The sessions are conducted webinar-style. This is a powerful hour that you use for yourself, with Janisse as your guide. You will be welcome to turn off your video. Chat is always open for interaction with the material and with the community. Level of participation is your decision, and participation is always optional.

THE VIBE
Loving, inclusive, inspiring, hopeful.
✍️
YOU WILL NEED
- your journal (unlined paper is best)
- sharpened pencils
- your pens
- crayons and/or colored pencils or pens are wonderful
- a quiet space would be nice for you, but not necessary
- a cup of tea might work wonders

CONTEXT
The Chinese zodiac rotates through a 12-year cycle of animals—Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
It also cycles through five elements, those of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
2026 was the Year of the Horse + Fire. That combination occurs once every sixty years. The last occurrence was 1966.
The Chinese Lunar New Year began February 17, 2026, and it brought with it major changes.
Horse means independence, freedom, speed, and energetic pursuit of goals.
When Fire gets added, it can look like revolution.
2027 is Year of the Goat. Goat is kindness, gentleness, and harmony. It begins Feb. 6, 2027.
✍️
WHAT YOU GET
- a deeper understanding of your circumstances
- a deeper relationship with your self
- a loose plan for the year
- three hours of flow
- at least 10 pieces of writing that you may be able to use for social media posts or as part of essays or a book you are writing
- a chance to explore art without fear of judgement
- the space to be in community with like-minded folks
- another way to process and celebrate the New Year
- my belief in you and your happiness
- all the benefits of keeping a journal (see below)
✍️
WHY
- Because our most intimate relationship may be with our journal.
- Because no one else has to see those pages.
- Because there we honor our own self, our own life.
- Because we deserve an hour to ourselves.
- Because it’s nice to get lost in the flow.
- Because creativity feeds creativity, and creativity gives us more options when a decision arises.
