December, please be kind to me! The last month of the year! It’s been quite a year! How did we get here? How will we get through it? We are keenly aware that this December is traveling a different path! This December means heart to heart discussions about difficult subjects with hard decisions to make before we step into a new year.
Despite a different path there is joy to be found! There will be moments to find familiar comforts and moments of things we love, past and present. New ways to foster connections. Time to discover corners of creativity, moments of serenity and objects of delight that will create a tender tale. Different will write our story and shape our lives. What we do today matters. This December matters more than we would have ever imagined and in ways most of us could never have imagined.
As we travel this intentional path and face the changes, we can’t control, we will find purpose and weave our needs into the needs of others. Strive for simplicity, patience and compassion while building an abundance of positivity, joy and hope.
