A reminder to help release: we cannot control anything that happens besides our own actions and reactions. Let the storms around you be what they will, go get yourself that eggnog latte, take a few extra moments in your happy places this season. You choosing to gift yourself presence this season, will make all the difference!

We have all been there, the highest high and lowest low of the holiday season. One moment you are singing your favorite tune, finding the perfect gift for your loved one, watching your child write their first letter to Santa, enjoying that cookie made by your grandma only once a year, and the next… you are stressed beyond belief, rushing around for that gift you forgot (or maybe all of them!), cleaning up the 100th round of pine needles on your floor, burning your dish to the family potluck dinner, coordinating chaos in your household and no one seems to be cooperating.
