Dear Friends,
Heading into the new year, we flip the calendar to January with anticipation for what lies ahead. We take time to refresh, reset, and embrace new possibilities with plans and resolutions that inspire us. Our goal is to start the year open to the joy and opportunities it may bring.
To experience joy, it is important to recognize that genuine joy is a state of the heart, not a fleeting emotion or passing thought. Daily circumstances can make us feel happy or sad, and life often brings seasons of overwhelming challenges as well as seasons filled with celebration and abundance. Happiness and sadness are tied to events—they depend on events and are temporary. Joy, however, is different. It is a deep, enduring condition of the heart that remains steady regardless of what life brings.
At H4TG our theme continues to be “the heart of the matter.” It is knowing that the care and support we provide women with breast cancer is what is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment is to help empower them to discover and strengthen their inner joy through one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Creating a deep, enduring sense of joy does not happen quickly and not alone; it takes all of us at H4TG to shape a community rooted in trust, care, and compassion. We evolve, grow, and learn from each other and are deeply grateful.
Let’s look to our 2026 calendar ambassadors this year as they share “the heart of the matter.” Let’s witness together how each journey to achieve joy is unique, and no one should face it alone. As a community, we face breast cancer with strength, hope, and heart.
Healthy Hugs,
Chris Schwab + The H4TG Team
