Ending the 9-Year Cycle & Rising Into 2026

Anne Clark and I discuss the cycles of the years, and in particular how we are coming to the end of a 9-Year cycle and entering a new 1-Year cycle. We discuss the different rituals and practices you can work with at this time as well as what energy is being shown. Anne also shares with us how these cycles are showing up with her clients and what messages she has been receiving when doing Akashic Record Readings. Our conversation is fun, light-hearted and filled with wisdom.

Anne Clarke is a skilled online business manager and digital marketer who helps entrepreneurs grow their business through authentic strategies in social media, email marketing, and project management.

Alongside her OBM work, she is an Akashic Records intuitive, blending her spiritual gifts with practical expertise to guide clients in overcoming blocks, aligning with their purpose, and achieving success in both business and life.

Anne and I have worked very closely together for the past two years, and it’s safe to say Anne is the creative genius in my business. I have an idea, I speak to Anne, and voila, she creates something incredible that consistently blows my mind.

So Anne, welcome to the show, and thank you for joining me today.

Anne Clark (00:54)
Thank you for having me, Megan. I’m so excited to be here.

It was good. This year we had a quiet one, which was nice. All of my family are located in a different state, and this year everybody just wanted to stay home. So we were like, yep, works nice. It was nice. The kids enjoyed having that time where they could sit, chill, and play with all their presents. So I was happy not to be running in and out visiting people.

Megan North (00:57)
How was your Christmas?

Yeah, yeah, nice, nice. So before we dive into the questions, I thought I’d share with everyone how this episode came about.

In the last month, Anne and I have worked on, and we’ve published, an ebook that explains a little bit more about the numerology of years, how we’re coming to the end of a nine-year cycle, and how we’re about to move into a one-year cycle.

So it’s more than just an ebook, though. It is a 50-page workbook that people can purchase, download, and work through. It has practical steps, rituals, card spreads, and practices to help people move through the cycles of the years, in particular, because we’re closing out anything that needs to be cleared for 2025 so that we can move into 2026 confidently and with purpose.

Anne Clark (01:57)
We don’t do things by halves, do we?

Megan North (02:17)
So if we’re talking about a nine-year cycle, I’ll explain to everybody. If we think about numerology from the year cycles, we have a nine-year cycle. The way we work it out is this year is 2025, so two and two and five add up to nine.

Now next year, we’re going into 2026. That adds up to 10, but then you do the one and the zero, and it’s one. So we’re going into that one year.

When I was thinking about what to talk about today, I thought, oh yeah, I probably should actually explain why we’re talking about nine year and one year.

For you, Anne, what does it actually mean for it to be a nine year? What’s happened for you this year that you have felt we really are closing out a nine-year cycle? What things have you seen shift and move for you?

Anne Clark (03:19)
This year, I think for a lot of people, particularly across both elements of my businesses, it’s 2025, and the last couple of years have been really hard.

People have just had enough. They’ve been challenged in so many elements of their lives, in their businesses, and in their own self-worth as well. That’s a big one. Not wanting to put themselves out there, or blocking themselves.

And I’m sure, you know, if I say it, people will go, “Oh yeah.” Actually, now that I’m paying attention, a lot of people are posting, “It’s the end of 2025, happy to see that one go.” You’re seeing all the memes of people saying bye-bye and, you know, “I’m on my way,” because it’s challenged them.

In some ways, it’s made them stop and have a look at what’s happening, why it’s happening.

I know for me, 2025 gave me some challenges where there were quite a few moments I’ve been on the phone with my mum in tears going, “Why? Why me? Why does this keep happening? This sucks.”

But one of the things my team of light always remind me is: it’s not about the issue that’s happening. It’s what you call a “club.” It repeats itself because you’ve not picked up the right message, or there’s more for you to take from the experience.

For me this year, there were some really big challenges, and it was really highlighting to me that I didn’t trust my instincts. I didn’t trust my intuition. I didn’t listen when it told me, “Uh-uh, run.” And I had to learn the hard way.

I used to always say earlier on in my business journey that my head and my heart are two different things. I lead my business solely with my heart because when I trust it, I always land in the right spot. But when my head gets in the way, like taking on a client because I think I need the money, or because of circumstances, or because they might know somebody I know, that’s when it all goes pear-shaped.

When that gets in the way, oh my gosh, it’s the biggest mistake. I find myself going, “Why am I here? Why did I not listen?”

So that’s been showing up for a lot of people this year, testing themselves unintentionally, and the universe showing them, “You need to stop. You need to have a look. Take stock of what’s going on.”

We all have one beautiful life and we want to live it the best way. If we’re not taking action to make positive changes, or to create the life we want, then the universe is going to keep reminding us: “Hey, is this what you really wanted?”

So for me, I’m happy to see 2025 go. With a degree of gratitude for the lessons it taught me, but I’m ready to let it go.

Megan North (06:24)
Yeah.

I know for me, what I’ve noticed is a lot of my relationships with people have changed. Some relationships have fallen away, and some have shifted, particularly from me, because the more work I do, the more I look at who’s around me.

Who am I spending my time with? Because I want to be around people who inspire me, not people who drain me. So I’m noticing, from a relationship point of view, I’m reviewing who’s in my circle at the moment.

Anne Clark (07:24)
That’s a really great one, because I definitely know that turned up for a lot of people this year, even me.

There are expectations we have, or we perceive we’re supposed to do things “the right way.” Even on social media, you’re friends with people because it’s the right thing to do. But you know what? Why?

This year I actually deleted quite a few people from my past, whether it was jobs, school, or whatever. I let them go, because they’ve been in my space and high school for me was not great. I never felt like I belonged, and some of the girls made me feel very judged.

Here we are, I hate to say it, 30-odd years later, and those girls are in my space. And I’m like, you know what? All you do is bring up those old emotions.

You’re not engaged with me, so I’m letting you go. You go live your life, I’ll live mine. There’s no connection there. Just because we went to school together doesn’t mean we need to be in the same space now.

So yeah, evaluating relationships was a big one this year. And I think we’re seeing who’s really there, who showed up when you faced challenges.

When I lost my dad and my brother in the last couple of years, it was my clients who showed up for me in the biggest possible way. I cannot tell you how blessed and grateful I am. They didn’t need to fix my world. They just went, “Hey, we’re here.”

But not one of my friends, or what I would’ve called friends, turned up for me. And I would’ve turned up for all of them. So it was quite a big eye-opener and I went, you know what? Boundaries.

I don’t need you in that space because I’m not the same person I was two years ago or three years ago. My world has changed massively.

And, you know, as we grow and we develop and we learn more about ourselves, it’s exciting. There are those who lift us up, push us, and cheer us on. Then there are those who go, “Hang on, you can’t be that good.” They try to pull you back because of their own insecurities.

And that’s been a massive growth path I’ve seen for you this year. I remember when you and I first connected, we probably had the same thing where we knew we had the ability to tap into our teams of light and get messages, but we were programmed, or guided by others around us, through their insecurities, that we didn’t have those capabilities.

And then when you and I talked, I said, “You do realise you have a very high gift and you don’t even realise you’re your own data.”

And look where we are now. We’re flourishing in it. We can feel the energy around us.

And your mum and dad are very vocal and loud, and they like to tell me all the time how proud they are of you. It’s very cute. I feel very honoured that they want to show up for us.

So yes, relationships were a big one this year.

Megan North (10:56)
Definitely, definitely.

And I also think we don’t need to feel guilty if someone isn’t filling our cup anymore. We’re moving into a different phase, or going in different directions. It doesn’t mean we have to create a big story about it.

If we’re not feeling sad about losing a relationship, maybe something was fundamentally wrong with it. Okay, that’s fine.

But if there are others where you just feel they’re not filling your cup, it’s okay. You let them go, bless them, be grateful for the time you had with them, and move forward.

Anne Clark (11:40)
I always explain to clients that we have a journey and path in life we want to get to, and we have free will where we get to make the choices.

I love describing it like looking at a street map. You’re here and you want to get over there, but along the way there are crossroads, turns, and roundabouts. It doesn’t mean you’re not going to get there. It just means you get to choose which journey you want to take.

And, you know, some people just need to go on a different road, a different pathway. There’s a great poem called “A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime,” and it’s about friendships.

My husband and I had it in our wedding book. There are friends who are there for when they need to be there, and there are friends that hang around for a lifetime.

So we don’t hold judgement or nastiness towards them. We’re grateful because they were there when they needed to be. And if they’re still there, then they still need to be there.

And sometimes it’s not because we need them, it’s because they need us.

Megan North (12:42)
Yeah, definitely.

Another thing I’m finding towards the end of this year is decluttering. Clearing space, clearing energy. I feel like I’m cleaning more, like this room where I do my work. I’m like, right, it needs a really good deep clean. Energetically, it needs a cleanse.

We usually call it spring cleaning, but I think it’s at another level.

Anne Clark (13:19)
Yeah. We have end-of-year decluttering, but at the end of a nine-year cycle, the cleansing is deeper. It’s so much deeper.

With gratitude, you’re releasing so many things because the new path ahead of us is different. But yeah, the decluttering is tenfold, particularly this year. People are really feeling it.

Megan North (13:52)
Yeah, definitely.

So moving into the one year, what are you noticing? I know you’re on a bit of a break at the moment. Are you starting to get lots of ideas, like, “My gosh, I could be doing this,” or “Maybe I’ll show up differently”? What’s coming to you for the new one-year cycle?

Anne Clark (14:15)
For me, last year I had a word for the year, which you and I have spoken about, which was “pink.”

To explain the story behind it, I learned from a lady in America who has a website called “Get Your Pink Back.” Basically, when flamingos are raising their young, they lose their pink, and once they’re finished, it’s about getting your pink back.

So I decided that was my word for 2025 because being a mum of three, living in a small country town, and only having one car, I spent about five hours a day driving. Then I was working in between, doing household stuff, feeding kids, all the 20,000 “mum, mum, mum” moments. The compromise was me. I lost track of me.

My family are amazing. My husband and kids are always my cheer squad. They’ve encouraged me to make it more about me, but I just didn’t have the time.

Towards the end of the year, I went, “I didn’t achieve everything I wanted.” So I have a really awesome Sunday crew, I call them, and we had a conversation about the word for 2026.

The suggestion was “crimson,” the next level up from pink, so I could finish what I started. I decided not to do crimson. I’ve chosen “rose.”

Rose is significant because it’s my mum’s favourite flower. She’s not passed, she’s here, but I love roses too. So I went, “Alright.” I have a flamingo painting in my office that reminds me, and I’m going to update it and add roses into it.

What’s been turning up for me lately is that I love painting and artwork, but I haven’t had time. I got to my husband and said, “I don’t know what to paint. I suddenly just don’t know what.”

Funnily enough, yesterday they all chimed in and reminded me what I used to love painting and why I was doing it. So I’ve had all this inspiration come through, which is exciting.

Being offline for the last week has been good, because in a working week I need at least one day off technology, otherwise my creative space can’t work. When I turn up for clients, I’m not just doing the job, I’m energetically in the space with them. I get depleted and I need to recharge and step away.

Having this time now, the floodgates are opening. I need to write it all down because I don’t want to forget. Or I’m like, “You need to remind me later.”

As you and I have talked about, I have a little sabotage voice that says, “Are you good enough? That person might do better than you.” And I’m like, people buy from us because of who we are. Our ideal audience is often a reflection of us.

So I need to stop caring about what those people are doing and just do me. The people who resonate with me will find me. Our paths will cross.

But yeah, I’ve mapped things out. I just need to keep showing up. Like you keep saying, chip away at it. Just keep going.

Megan North (18:29)
Yeah.

I’m finding as I look into 2026, I’m getting more focused. Where do I want to put my energy this year? It doesn’t mean forever, but for 2026 there are a few things I really want to focus on.

This is streaming on New Year’s Eve in the US, and then it’s New Year’s Eve for us in Australia. So in a couple of days, I’m starting to get really focused.

And the show is one of the biggest focuses for me next year.

Anne Clark (19:21)
My team are chiming in to say you have a very big, exciting 2026.

Megan North (19:26)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, team.

Anne Clark (19:31)
They do like to interrupt. They can’t be out of our appearance.

Megan North (19:35)
One of the other things my husband and I are reviewing for the year ahead is physical health. We’re putting new practices in place.

And one thing I talk about a lot, from a mental health point of view, is what works for you. It’s about experimenting.

One thing I love about my husband is he’s an ex-Navy guy. Once the alarm goes off, he says, “Feet on deck,” and he gets up. Whereas I’m like, “Mmm… snooze.”

I love going for a walk on my own. I don’t take my pods. I love that quiet time. But motivating myself to get out of bed can be hard.

So we had a conversation: he wants to walk too, but he walks at a jogging pace, and I struggle to keep up. Plus, we always walk hand in hand, and I’m like, “You’re dragging me.”

So what we realised is we can both get up when the alarm goes off because he motivates me. But once we get downstairs, he goes at his pace, and I go at mine.

He doesn’t feel guilty for being slow, I don’t feel dragged, and I still get the benefit of being up and out. After a few months I’ll probably catch up.

And it means I can do my spiritual practices while I’m walking, because I love having that time.

So I think when we’re putting new practices in place, it’s about experimenting. It’s about what works for you. And all of a sudden we found a compromise that works.

Anne Clark (22:14)
It is.

We often hear “New Year’s resolutions,” but I believe you don’t need to wait for New Year’s. You can start today. It’s about showing up for yourself when you want to show up.

I remember listening years ago to Tiffany Hall, who you may know from The Biggest Loser. She said if you fall over or stuff up today, that’s okay. Pick yourself up and keep going. You’re allowed to make mistakes. We are human.

As long as you identify it, acknowledge it, and reflect on why you fell over, you can make tweaks that work for you.

Megan North (23:13)
Exactly.

And you’ve talked a little bit about OBM clients, but what about your Akashic Records readings? Have you noticed any similarities in the last couple of months? From a nine-year ending point of view?

Anne Clark (23:34)
Yeah, there’s a lot.

I had a lot of clients showing up wanting to start things, but the sabotage was big. They weren’t showing up. There was always a reason. There was always somebody around them, a naysayer, putting doubts in their head.

And I’m like, the biggest thing you have to remember is you. Only you have your vision. Only you know the outcome. If someone is blocking you or making you doubt it, you need to put a boundary around yourself. Let them say what they want, but don’t take it on board.

It’s a bit like when friends get married and everyone becomes an expert. Let them talk, then do what you need to do. It’s your journey.

We all have someone around us who can make us second-guess ourselves, but don’t give them power over your vision.

That was coming up a lot. People wanted a fresh start. End of a nine-year cycle, everyone wants to throw the dirty water out and start fresh.

The journeys are waiting for them, they’re ready to go. They just needed to get rid of the dirty water, with gratitude, and let it go.

Megan North (25:21)
Yeah.

Anne Clark (25:45)
It’s a bit like when I was doing my coaching training, over 10 years ago, they said, “You have to do public speaking.” And I’m like, I have a really bad story about public speaking, which is why I don’t do it.

It’s just not me. And part of the community kept saying, “You have to do it.” And I’m like, it’s my kryptonite, man.

The only reason I did it once is because I got nominated for an award and they said, “You have to do a two-minute speech.” A friend said, “Two minutes, you’ll be fine.”

So I kept telling myself, “Two minutes, two minutes, two minutes.” I got to the event and I was sweating like I’d climbed out of a lake.

I opened the door and I’m like, “I know you, I know you, I know you.” Pure fear.

It was my turn to go on stage and I’d left my glasses in my bag, so I couldn’t read my notes. I was so nervous I speed-talked. I talk fast normally, but I was flying.

Halfway through I stopped and said, “I’m really sorry. As you can see, I’m nervous, and when I’m nervous I speed-talk. So if you can keep up, good luck to you.” Then I kept going.

I was a finalist, but I didn’t win. And honestly, I walked away thinking, you know what? That’s not what I need to do. I’m happy in smaller, more intimate communities. Somebody else can have the stage.

It was funny too, because another woman in my category said, “I don’t think two minutes is enough.” And I was like, “My God, are you kidding me?”

Megan North (27:46)
Peace. Yeah, you have my two minutes and you’re going to have four.

Anne Clark (28:08)
I did notice some people got others to do their speeches for them. I was like, I wish I’d known that. I would’ve outsourced it.

So yes, getting out of our way is a big thing. And just showing up how you want to show up. There are ways you can show up without doing what everyone else says.

I’m happy to record a reel, share information, or do this show with you, but I don’t want to stand on stage. There are other ways.

Megan North (28:53)
Yep.

And I think comparison isn’t important because the latest statistic I saw is we’ve got less than two seconds to capture someone’s attention on social media. If you’re going to spend five hours worrying about a 30-second reel, don’t. You’ve just wasted five hours of your life. Put it out there. If someone watches it, great. If not, other people don’t care.

Anne Clark (29:29)
It’s quite funny, one of my clients had this as a big block.

I said, “Record a 60-second reel. Just blurt it out. Identify the pain point, tell them what you’re going to answer, and then answer it.”

She wanted everything perfect. I said, “Hold it close to your face. People don’t care what’s in your background. Just do it.”

We did a 30-day challenge, one reel a day. She’s found her inner power because she’s been doing it. She texts them all to me, my phone goes ding ding ding, and then I do the covers, captions, and schedule them.

She said, “It’s taken me a long time to get past the mentality that I need to look perfect.” And I said, “People resonate when we’re not perfect. We don’t need to be Instagram-worthy. We need to be real.”

There’s so much AI now, half the time I can’t tell what’s real. My son walks past and goes, “That’s AI,” and I’m like, “Really? How did you tell?”

Show up how you want to show up. If you don’t want to be on camera, record a waterfall. There are other ways.

As an OBM, I’m always about this: when you show up in a way that makes you shine, you attract your audience.

Years ago, I had a client who loved speaking on stage. She was being pulled in all directions, spending money everywhere. I asked her, “What do you actually want to do?” She said, “I love speaking on stage and connecting with an audience.”

I said, “Get rid of all this noise and go do that.” And when she did, everything started coming in, because people see you speak and then they want to find your website and socials. They want to know more.

Go where you shine. If you hate Instagram, go to YouTube. Go where you go, because your audience is often a reflection of you.

Megan North (32:53)
Yep.

Anne Clark (32:53)
I think the new one year is bringing hope and a stronger sense of self. People are sick of dodgy sales tactics. They want the real person.

Megan North (33:08)
Yep.

In the workbook, we’ve got lots of practical things people can do for the end of the nine years. We’ve got rituals, burning, and energetic clearing like sage.

Anne Clark (33:33)
Although I have seen all those sage-burning reels where the car is driving around with smoke everywhere. So yes, feel free to burn out all the negativity.

Megan North (33:42)
We also write things out, what we want to let go of, and what we want to bring in for the year ahead. Then we burn it, trusting we’re handing it over to the universe.

Anne Clark (33:52)
I think it’s important when you’re writing what you’re letting go of to also thank it for the lesson it taught you, how it made you grow.

Not so much the pain, but what you took from it that helps you say, “That’s not how I’m showing up again.”

When you give gratitude, you’re showing the universe you’ve taken on board what you needed to.

Megan North (34:42)
Yeah, that’s beautiful.

We’ve also got card spreads in there and pages to journal, affirmations you can use or create, and lots of practical tools.

When you download it, you can do it electronically or print it out and write in it, depending on how you prefer.

Anne Clark (36:17)
I think if someone wants to reflect on it during the year, printing it out is really cool.

Megan North (36:21)
That’s a great idea.

I’ve had a few people already print and bind it like an official workbook.

Anne Clark (36:35)
It really is more than just another ebook. It’s a journey.

And it’s something you can revisit. Part of any business strategy or life journey is checking in. It’s always good to look back and see what showed up because you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come.

Megan North (37:26)
Reflection is such a powerful tool.

I love that you’ve chosen a different colour tone for 2026. You’re not saying, “I didn’t achieve everything so I need a new word.” You’re giving it a rose hue and finishing what you didn’t. That’s a great way to honour yourself.

Anne Clark (38:08)
There’s no definition for when it has to be finished. It’s our journey, our timeline.

I try to encourage my kids to set goals for themselves and show up for themselves. One of my kids struggled in primary school, and one teacher really got him. He didn’t like the spotlight, so she’d quietly check in with him.

He got to high school this year and he got A’s he didn’t think he could get. Then he said, “Next year, I want more A’s.” And I said, “It’s your goal. You said it, you do it.”

It’s been amazing seeing him take it on board and set his own goals. But there’s no timeline. It’s his.

Megan North (39:33)
Exactly.

As we move into the one year, are you feeling a shift in energy for you and your clients?

Anne Clark (39:45)
Yes. I think clients are showing excitement and openness to possibilities. They’re ready.

They want 2025 closed out so they can move forward. I know for a lot of them, they’re going to show up in ways they didn’t think they would.

And I’ve decided to step into my own thing and launch a mastermind. Some of them are joining it, which is exciting.

People don’t want noise anymore. They want to do things that feel honest and real. COVID changed how people look at life, and that desire has only grown.

They’re sick of spreading themselves thin, trying to be everything for everyone. It’s not serving them.

My team keeps showing me open water, sea breeze, and gentle waves. People want to show up in a calm, gentle, caring way. Not bright lights and shouting, “Look at me.” Authenticity is huge for 2026.

Megan North (41:40)
Definitely.

And just because it’s a one year doesn’t mean we have to get everything done. Focus on one thing you want to nail.

For my husband and I, it’s walking every morning at the same time. I said to him, “That’s the one thing I’m going to focus on first.” In six months, once it’s embedded, I’ll look at something else. Even if it takes the whole year, great. Then next year I can add something new.

Anne Clark (42:38)
Yes. The strategy is: write it all down. Brain dump it. Put it aside for a couple of days, then come back to it.

The first things that jump out are usually where you need to start. Start with something easy to implement and that can help bring in revenue if it’s business-related.

In life, the same applies. Break it down. Do small increments.

I remember Jen Jefferies did a reel about reading more, and she read 10 pages a day. In a month, she read a book.

For me, I didn’t read in high school because I struggled and had a teacher who humiliated me in front of the class. I’m partially deaf and I hated being singled out. But after school I started reading James Patterson books and now I love reading.

So it’s about small steps. Like you said, your alarm and your husband getting you up is the first step, then it flows.

Megan North (45:11)
Exactly.

Normally I’d close with “What’s one lesson you wish you’d known earlier?” but today I’m asking: what is one piece of wisdom you’ve been gifted this year?

Anne Clark (45:46)
For me, it’s trusting my intuition and honouring it.

This year I went through an awful business situation because I let my head get in the way. It was mind-blowing because it’s something I would never do to someone else.

The warning bells were going off right from the start, and I didn’t listen. So the wisdom has been: trust my intuition, and trust myself.

Sometimes my team tells me things and I go, “Yeah, yeah,” and keep moving. I need to stop and listen. They’re telling me for a reason. It’s support.

So yes, intuition and trust.

What about you, Megan?

Megan North (47:26)
Trust is definitely one.

But for me it’s chipping away. When I chip away, my momentum keeps going. It doesn’t stop.

I love James Clear’s Atomic Habits, the 1% a day idea. The point is, do something every day. Keep the momentum.

Someone chips away for 10 years, gets one break, and everyone calls them an overnight success. It wasn’t overnight.

Anne Clark (48:38)
People tell you what they want you to believe, not the story behind it.

I remember a woman who “sold out in 24 hours,” but behind the scenes she’d been doing blog articles and building for five years.

And people brag about making $80,000 in January, but they don’t tell you the rest of the year, or whether that’s before expenses.

So yes, chipping away is the right way.

Megan North (49:58)
Tick tick tick tick. I’d like to get us a little pick, you know, like in The Shawshank Redemption. Slowly chipped away. Yes, this tunnel.

So how will you be celebrating New Year? Are you still awake at midnight or sound asleep?

I’m always awake at midnight.

We have fireworks locally, so we might drive down and watch them from the beach. Victor Harbor gets really busy because it’s tourist season. We don’t have traffic lights, just two roundabouts, but at this time of year it’s chaos. You can sit at the roundabouts for 10 minutes.

And you can tell the difference between country drivers. I remember my sister once said, “You are so country now.” And she was right.

Lucky you. You can’t do that in Sydney.

Anne Clark (51:35)
No, I know. It’s different.

Megan North (51:38)
We’ll definitely not make midnight. We might watch the 9 o’clock fireworks on TV, but no.

Thank you for having this conversation. It’s been really fun.

I think when you and I talk, we share a lot of information and we take it for granted, but I have no doubt the audience will pick up quite a few things.

So thank you for joining me today.

Anne Clark (52:36)
And I highly recommend the book because you put so much love into it, and it’s awesome.

Megan North (52:43)
Thank you.

And I’d also like to thank my amazing and dedicated audience, sponsors, and supporters. I’m extremely grateful for all the support everyone has shown me this year.

I wish everyone a wonderful end to 2025, a very happy New Year, and I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2026, in a one-year cycle. It’s very exciting.

Thanks, Anne.
