โ
And just like that, the holidays are upon us and Christmas is just a week away!
โ
However you are celebrating, this is often a busy, stressful time of year.
โ
This is a your gentle reminder to go easy on yourself and give yourself some grace and breathing room.
โ
Practice those mindful pauses and really be present - for the good AND the messy (the messy often make for good stories in years to come ๐).
โ
What can you say 'no' to, so you can 'yes' to something YOU need or value?
โ
What can you let go of AND trust that youโve done enough and are enough. ๐งก
โ
Lean into your strengths of love and compassion - not only for others but also for yourself.
โ
If youโre looking for some helpful resources to boost your strength of compassion, you might be interested in some of the following FREE Recharge Resources in the Vitality Online Studio:

WHAT IโM LISTENING TO:
Podcast:
Continuing with the theme of compassionโฆ
In this 2 part series of the Unlocking Us Podcast, Brene Brown interviews Chris Germer as they dig into what compassion really means (itโs one of my favourite definitions that Iโve seen). Their discussion on near and far enemies will be sure to stir up some aha's...it did for me!
โ
๐ง You can listen to The Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassion below:
โPart 1: Brene with Chris Germer on the Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassionโ
โPart 2: Brene with Chris Germer on the Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassionโ
โ
โSpotify Playlist:
Iโve been playing the Lush and Ethereal playlist on repeat for over a year now. Itโs often playing while I'm creating in my home office. My favourite song? Calico.
If you have a listen, I'd love to know what you think.

Hello Reader, "Spring is the time of plans and projects" ~ Leo Tolstoy Happy Spring! Itโs been a long winter here in Canada. Although itโs been unseasonably warm, we havenโt had much sunshine in Southern Ontario. In fact, this has been the darkest winter in over 70 years. To brighten up my winter, I returned to an old hobby of mine that I havenโt done in a long time - quilting. Itโs a hobby I picked up when my boys were young. It got me out of the house one night per week to go to an open...
