Your 2026, read back
Your own sentences quoted back to you, and a name for the kind of year you had: a Crucible, a Simmering or a Gold year.
Free · A Year-End Alchemy Planner
Before 2027 begins, let the year you just lived count.
Survival Mode isn’t proof you’ve lost yourself… it’s raw material. Raw Material is fourteen short sentences that read 2026 back to you in your own words, then set three small anchors for 2027, sized for the capacity you actually have, not the capacity you wish you had.

It lands in your inbox in a minute or two, along with The Alchemical Circular.
If this sounds like you
You don’t need another goal spreadsheet. You need the year witnessed first.
Most planners start in January, as if the year before it didn’t happen. But you lived every day of 2026, the therapy waiting rooms and the school calls and the nights you were the last one awake, and none of that disappears because the calendar turns over.
Raw Material starts there. It asks what you carried that no one else saw, what quietly kept you going, and which part of you you’d like to meet again. Then, only then, it asks about 2027… and it keeps the asking small.
Part oneThe month you felt most like yourself, and the month that asked the most of you.
Part oneSomething you carried this year that no one else saw.
Part twoSomething you’ll stop carrying alone, and the month you’d like that to be true.
What you’ll get back

Last year on the inner ring, your three anchors on the outer ring, and your word for 2027 at the center.

Three gentle anchors
One for rest, one for something you loved before, one for the weight you’ll share. Each gets dated first steps and a calendar check-in.

Is this for you?
Made for the mother who is STILL here
This is for you if…
- You’re raising a neurodivergent or special-needs child and most of 2026 ran on autopilot.
- New Year’s plans have felt like one more thing to fail at.
- You’d like 2027 to hold a little more of you, in small, holdable pieces.
- You have ten quiet minutes here and there, not a free afternoon.
It isn’t for you if…
- You want a productivity system or a habit-stacking challenge.
- You’re looking for big resolutions to hold yourself to.
- You’d rather skip the looking back and go straight to goals.
A note from Cheniece
I’m raising two autistic littles with complex needs, and I am still in it more than I would like to admit. I made Raw Material because every planner I tried assumed a capacity I didn’t have, and a January that would go to plan.
Here is what I know now: disruptions are guaranteed. You plan for the capacity you actually have, not the capacity you want. That’s what this planner does. It isn’t grand. It is genuinely enough.
With warmth, Cheniece ♡Little Alchemies
Questions answered honestly
Before you begin
Is it really free?
Yes. Add your name and email and the planner link comes to your inbox. You’ll also receive The Alchemical Circular, my letters from inside this season of caregiving, and you can leave with one click whenever you like.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. It opens in your browser on your phone or computer. There’s no account to make and no app to install.
What if I can’t finish it in one sitting?
You don’t have to. Your answers save in that browser as you go, so you can close it and come back later. Open it on the same device and everything will be where you left it.
Who sees what I write?
Only you. Your sentences stay in your own browser and are never sent to me or anyone else. Save your report as a PDF to keep a copy.
What if 2026 was really, really hard?
Then this is especially for you. The planner notices the kind of year you had and keeps everything smaller and gentler for a hard one. Some weeks you’ll do less than it asks, and it STILL works.
The door is open
Come in, sit down, and let 2026 be raw material.
Fourteen sentences, three gentle anchors, and a year read back in your own words. It’s yours, free, whenever you’re ready.
