I decided to deviate from my standard newsletter format this week, and keep things super simple...
I know that the holidays can be a bit "touch and go" for a lot of people, and may not always be a fun time, or even something that everyone looks forward to. (And, this year in particular may punctuate that feeling even more...). At any rate, it is my wish and prayer that each and every one of you are able to unearth some joy, peace, love, and light in this season, and in your life. It is my hope that in those quiet times of reflection, that you find moments of gratitude and blessing that you can ruminate on...Those "little things" that make you smile, or warm your heart...that kind word or compliment that you received from a friend or loved one, that random call from someone checking in on you, the extra time you had to learn something new, that smile or hug from a little child, the last thing that made you laugh, the thoughtful gift you received in the mail, or any other "micro joy" that allowed you to step away from everything that is going on in the world for just a moment. I ultimately wish you happiness in your heart.
