The start of a new year is a natural moment to pause, reflect and reset. It’s a time when many of us look ahead with fresh perspective—thinking about our health, setting goals, organizing finances, and finding better balance in our daily lives. As we move toward 2026, this season isn’t just about personal resolutions, it’s also about strengthening the community around us.
A strong year begins with wellness. Taking care of our bodies, minds and overall sense of balance lays the groundwork for everything else we hope to accomplish. It’s about creating space for rest, connection and thoughtful planning, while also preparing for the practical needs of the year ahead. From caring for our homes and vehicles to ensuring our pets and families are supported, these small, steady choices build confidence and peace of mind as the months unfold.
To support that focus, we’re excited to host Your New Year Wellness Kickoff as part of the Foothills Wellness Series on January 24 from 10 am to 12 pm at the Our Lady of the Pines Community Center. This event is designed to help you start the year feeling informed, inspired and supported—offering tools, resources and local connections that encourage healthy habits and a positive outlook for the year ahead.
Our community’s strength is rooted in the people who live and work here. Local businesses and service providers understand the realities of mountain living and play an important role in keeping our community connected and resilient. Their success supports local families, creates jobs and helps fuel community events, nonprofits and partnerships that enhance quality of life throughout Conifer.
Finding trusted local resources doesn’t have to be complicated. GoConifer.com is a community tool that makes it easy to connect with local businesses and services in one place. Whether you’re focusing on wellness, planning for the future or managing everyday needs, it’s a simple way to stay connected and informed.
As you set intentions for the new year, consider making one simple but powerful commitment: support local whenever you can. Starting the year strong means taking care of yourself and helping others do the same, while helping build a stronger, more resilient Conifer for the year ahead.
