Kickstart the New Year as we embrace 2026 through the lens of love-inspired New Year's resolutions. Dive into reflections from Bonnie Smith Whitehouse's 'Season of Wonder' and hear uplifting stories of simple, everyday acts of love—from sharing pens and art to donning joy sweaters and making Sunday soup. Let's explore how ordinary gestures can bring more life, liberation, creation, and love into our world. Join us in walking the way of love in this special New Year's episode.

Gratitude to Rev. Ellen Corcella for her support of HSP!
