Feeling Christmas

‍ …AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Can you believe it?! We’re down to just three more days until the big day! The countdown is on… so how’s your heart feeling?

As Christmas draws closer, I’ve been thinking about how differently this season can feel for each of us. For some, it’s full of magic and sparkle.

For others, it brings a wave of nostalgia.

And for many, it carries moments of longing, tenderness, or quiet reflection.

Whatever you’re feeling, it’s okay. Truly it is.

To be honest, I’ve been moving through my own mix of emotions this year — the joy of getting to celebrate my new granddaughter’s very first Christmas, and at the same time, the heart that breaks, yet also the tenderness of supporting someone I love very dearly, as she faces the season without someone very dear to her heart.

Through it all, I have so much to be grateful for. I am blessed…and yet at times I still feel the “other” feels.

Again, that’s totally okay - for me, and for you too, if that resonates.

That’s the thing about this time of year: we get to hold both. We can honor the joy, acknowledge the tender places, and still look for the small moments that bring light.

So today, I’m simply wondering… How are you feeling as Christmas approaches? There’s no right or wrong — just your honest heart.

However this season finds you, I’m grateful to be sharing a little piece of it with you.💜

Until next time,
