Welcome to The Pause, dear friend. Come on in and make yourself comfortable.
Well, in true holiday-fashion, I booked myself solid to the point of exhaustion and now here I am writing to you a week after I intended to. Perhaps you noticed. In all likelihood, you didn’t because you’re in the process of navigating your own holiday gauntlet right now. So I thought today I’d keep it short. Keep it quiet. And just give the whole lot of us a moment to check in.
Settle in, take a deep breath, and get ready to pause and reconnect in 3…2…1…
🎁 The Holidays: Pause & Reconnect
**This is a moment for you. Enjoy it for as long or as little as feels good.*
How’s it going? How are you feeling right now?
What’s going well? What’s not?
Is there anything you want to remind yourself of? A mantra around a certain family member? A reminder to let go? A reminder to breathe?
Can you close your eyes for a moment, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you’re doing it? You’re living. You’re breathing. You’re doing it regardless of how weird and complicated it feels. You’re here. You’re alive. You’re evolving. It’s annoying af and gratifying af all wrapped up in one, and by some cruel joke of God that’s exactly how it’s always been meant to be. Congrats on being down for the ride. Congrats on showing up to play. Keep that heart beating and soul shining. More good things are always to come. ♥️
Take care these next few days. Sneak a little moment of time away for you, yourself, and you as frequently as your wild family permits.
Until next time. 🖤
