yuletide greetings

I hope these last weeks have been filled with adventure and activity and a good dose of whatever living your dream looks like… I’ve had lots and lots of seasons like that. So many. And I loved them. Not that those seasons aren’t complicated and exhausting and I’m sure there is more than a touch of nostalgia– but I loved hosting the parties and rolling the noodles and making the crafts and taking the tipsy selfies. I loved the gifting and the cards and the excitement and the crowds and the noise and the crazy.

Not this year– and that’s okay. I know that isn’t what this season is about anyway. And you should know, I’m still doing okay in here, even with none of those things. I’m not better, but also not necessarily worse. Still just resting and nesting and breathing and caring for my whole system — only now I’m donned in a velour jumpsuit and have a rainbow fiber-optic tree to enjoy.  And copious amounts of mint tea.

I know that life gets real hard sometimes… at this time of year especially. I hope you are also gifting yourself love and grace and kindness and nourishment and joy and rest and laughter. I hope you are seeing many little lights in the darkness. I hope you are smelling the pine and spice of winter. I hope you are feeling warmth in your den. I hope you are hearing the serenity in the stillness.

And mostly, i hope you too are holding on to your peace.
if that is your jam. if not,
then i hope you are blissfully wassailing through the holidays.

until we meet again- love always,
