The Inside Scoop with Luna for January 2026

As overheard from my basket beside Vanessa Benedict, Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager

Happy New Year from my cozy basket beside Vanessa Benedict’s desk. From here I have been watching the office settle into that calm, thoughtful rhythm that always comes with a new year. The holiday sparkle fades, the snow drapes the world in quiet, and everything seems to pause like life is taking a deep breath. Even I notice it, and my biggest daily decision is usually whether to nap in my basket or walk around Vanessa’s office. 

I hear the people talk about organizing bills, gathering tax slips, reviewing cash flow, and making sure everything still fits the life they are building. They are not trying to change everything overnight just taking small steps that make life feel lighter and more grounded.

January carries a special kind of energy. It’s a natural moment to step back and look at the big picture what is working, what needs attention, and what you want the next chapter to feel like. It’s not about pressure or resolutions. It’s a gentle reset, a chance to check in with yourself.

So, from me your loyal, fluffy observer, I want to wish you a New Year filled with health, clarity, and peace of mind. A year of fresh starts, thoughtful check-ins, and the comfort of knowing you are supported. 

If this year has you or your loved ones thinking about your own big picture or want to feel more supported, Vanessa and our SilverBirch Wealth management team are always here for you.

Until next time, Luna 🐾
