It’s January 4, 2026. How were the holidays?
Uneventfully eventful. I spent a few days at my parents’ place. Sprained my back in the middle of December, and it got real bad when I went up there. Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas virtually immobile in bed. What’s new? This has happened so many times before.
Energetically, it makes sense. We carry so much of our stress and tension in our lumbar and sacral junctions. If you can’t flow between top to bottom, what’s the middle supposed to do?
We’re on the mend now, and are equipped with a clear direction as to where we want to go.
I’ve spent the last 2 months creating Nascentia’s individual and retail presence. The Foundational Course (Legal and Commercial) and Supplement (Financial), with the Next Chapter (Adversity and Litigation) in progress. Website, social media, and LinkedIn. We’re in a good place here, I can let it rest and grow.
Seeds are planted.
Now we turn our attention to the next frontier. Nascentia Incorporated as a major player in upstream, institutional work. Bridging the gap between many worlds and many lives. It’s what I’ve done on the individual and retail side. Business and enterprise is where we start to move and play.
I have a clear plan. Nascentia pursues its own institutional accounts and strategic partnerships. We get to work. Collaborators and supporters. Scope of work commenced.
I’ve been blessed to have found a coworking community amongst other owners. Multi-dimensional, driven, and fun people who have big ideas and dreams. Starting their own journeys and paths. What a beautiful environment to be in. I can’t believe how much work I’ve gotten done, and how differently I’m working, just being in the same room as these people. Inspiring and motivating.
I have great people in my life who’ve taken a vested interest in my success. I’ve always been a dreamer – as my brother would affably say, “a pie-in-the-sky” kind of guy. These support systems have organized my thoughts, instilled confidence, and refined my dreams into concise, measurable, and actionable steps.
Over that weird abyss during Christmas and New Years, I caught up with a great group of friends and we talked, earnestly, about our wins and losses of 2025, and what we want to bring into the New Year.
For me, I’ve gotten the best Christmas gift of all. An amazing partner, best friend, lover, and supporter. I quit a cushy job to bet it all on a dream and vision of what I want my life to be. I became a Yoga Teacher and taught a full course at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law.
Funny enough, if you asked me in November how I felt about what I’ve done through the year, I would have responded with despondency: I’m not enough, I haven’t done enough, I have nothing to show for it.
Now, things feel different. Quiet. Clarity. Resolve. Gratitude. A good life. My partner told me something today that landed. The bad will always be there. The inadequacies and doubt. It’s a choice for you to look for the good. Being able to enjoy the small moments so you can celebrate the big wins.
Meetings set, materials prepared, clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.
All my best,
David Kim
