Onward

January always stumbles upon us so fast and quietly; not with fireworks, but with a soft and sometimes surprisingly "hello".

What remains is often not a list of goals, but a feeling, a question here or there, a sense that something is shifting even if we do not yet have the language for it.

At The Sophis Agency, we think of January not just as a time for declarations and resolutions, but also as a time for listening. We listen for the stories that followed us out of last year, the ones waiting to be written, and truths that we often do not shout but endure.

January is about what we carry forward and the newness waiting to be seen. Some versions of ourselves can be released, thanked, or embraced. Regardless, may this year be a year of steady becoming for you.

For those joining our inaugural 2026 Writer Bootcamp, this month is also the beginning of a journey. The Sophis Agency welcomes you and new readers. And so... onward.

Warmly,

By: Te'Ambera Ware Ford, Editor-in-Chief, The Sophis Agency
