As we end November the holidays are in full force upon us. For some it is a joyous time of making memories surrounded by loved ones. For others it’s an incredibly challenging time. For most it’s somewhere in the middle.
This year will be different. I keep telling myself that to soothe the fear and grief I have over a complicated holiday season. It can be different and I can make the best of it for myself. Boundaries are new for me and a constant practice. This year it means saying no to things that will be too hard. That’s ok. It’s ok to say no. It’s ok to miss some things or do some new things.
Give yourself permission to take care of yourself. Don’t expect others to know what you need. Allow space for silence. Change your mind. Enjoy some of your own magic. I’m saying these things for you and me.
Sending you love and light. Always.
