As we head into the holiday season, I am reflecting on what the holidays can mean for people. And what it used to mean for me. For many, it can be a busy time — extra things to do on top of an already full life. As a small business owner / maker of gifts, it used to be a pressure-filled time — packed with holiday shows, production, and non-stop fulfillment. For me, I so easily slipped into the stress of the business’ holiday needs that I often lost my connection to a broader perspective and to my inner well-being.
Each progressive holiday, my hope is to be able to accommodate a more complete and whole version of myself and my experiences. To be more at peace regardless of external circumstances. To be able to hold myself and this world in increasing doses of kind, nonjudgmental awareness.
So as you head into this holiday season, I’d like to offer my heartfelt wish that you feel joy, connection, and my deep gratitude for your being here.
