Holidays can be hard for a lot of people. I can remember when I found myself alone, on another Holiday. I was newly divorced and I shared custody of the kids,… so Holidays were every other one. On one particular Christmas day…. after crying and having a bit of a pity party….. I made a shift… I yelled out loud… I wrote out my intentions for the next holidays…and right then…..I chose to begin new and joyful memories. To build a family … to process the hurt and to heal… I began to build relationships and include others that didn’t have a “family” on the holidays and I have some of the best memories… and deepest relationships because of that shift. My prayer for you today…. that you are surrounded by those who appreciate and care about you…. and if you are not, that you would make a shift… start the healing… and begin to make joyful memories…. this is YOUR life…your journey…. fill it with great things!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
