The wheel of time continues to turn, and once again we find ourselves on the precipice of a New (Solar) Year. ⌛ One of the best practices to implement during this time is self-reflection both to celebrate your personal growth and reorient to newfound desires and dreams.

To initiate this practice, we encourage you to use the comment section below to tell us one lesson you learned in 2025 and one blessing you're looking forward to in 2026.

Let's hear it. 👇🏼

After weeks of intense border clashes—including deadly airstrikes just hours before—Thailand and Cambodia have dramatically signed a new ceasefire agreement on December 27, 2025, halting the violence that claimed dozens of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Signed in Thailand's Chanthaburi Province by top defense ministers, the deal kicks in immediately: no more fighting, no troop movements or airspace violations, a ban on new landmines, and curbs on inflammatory propaganda. It also includes releasing captured soldiers, resuming border talks, and joint efforts against cross-border scams.

This pact builds on a shaky July truce brokered by Malaysia (with a nudge from U.S. pressure under President Trump), but escalations in December forced this stronger commitment. A surprising turnaround amid deep historical tensions—could this finally bring lasting peace to the disputed frontier? Fingers crossed! 🤞🏽
