Happy New Year, adventure seekers!
We’ve all been there. January 1st arrives, and suddenly we’re expected to become entirely new versions of ourselves. We set massive goals: “I’m going to hit the gym five days a week,” or “I’m going to finally write that novel.” But by mid-January, the mountain of our own expectations usually feels too steep to climb. In 2026, Of These Mountains is exploring a new approach. We’re trading intensity for consistency. We’re ditching the “New Year, New Me” mantra and high-pressure resolutions for small, intentional steps that lead to big changes.
Because here’s the truth: you’re already pretty great. You don’t need a "new" you; you just need more moments that make the current you feel more alive.
Finding Magic in the Mundane
Our new book, 365 Little Big Things, was designed exactly for this, featuring a year’s worth of daily curated prompts created to help you find the magic in the mundane. As we like to say here in North Georgia, the view from the top of the mountain is spectacular, but the beauty is found in every wildflower and creek stone along the trail. 365 Little Big Things is about realizing the smell of the pine after rain and the colors of a winter sunset are just as "big" as the summit itself. It’s about intention and focusing on small, joyful moments to create a year of connection—to our creativity, our community, and ourselves. It’s about finding the extraordinary in an ordinary Tuesday.
Whether it’s the way the light hits the trees or the simple joy of a perfectly toasted s’more, 365 Little Big Things is your guide to a year of:
- Growth without the burnout.
- Creativity without the ego.
- Connection to the world right outside your back door.
You Aren’t Doing This Alone
The best part of any adventure? The people you share it with. We aren’t just releasing a book; we’re launching a community movement. When you pick up your copy of 365 Little Big Things, you’re joining a group of explorers who are committed to living life to the fullest, one small challenge at a time. We’ll be sharing our progress on social media, swapping stories of our "mundane magic," and cheering each other on as we navigate the year ahead.
What if I haven’t purchased or received my book by January 1st? Don’t sweat it. There is no timeline on this journey. You can join the movement and start “Day 1” whenever you're ready. The trail doesn't care when you step onto it; it only cares that you're there.
Are you ready to stop sprinting toward a "perfect" future and start enjoying the present?
