Merry Monday | 12.22.25

The holidays are here!! I hope you were able to get all your shopping and decorating done before the big day this week. This year Christmas is all about being in the moment for me. Being present has been something that I have not focused on so much for the holidays. I sometimes get wrapped up (see what I did there…lol) in the busyness of the holidays, sometimes sitting back and taking a look at all that is in front of me takes a backseat. So this year, I didn’t do all the fanfare on gift giving and holiday shopping. I am choosing peace and rest this week. I didn’t have many gifts to buy, so I just decided to just be. Take time off to be present and rest…my body, my mind, and my soul.

We take resting for granted sometimes because we have so many things to do on our daily task list, so we go from task to task without taking a breath to just be in the moment. There are some good things we can overlook when doing this behavior. So this year I will be present, intentional, and give myself rest and grace. I hope you have a peaceful and cozy Christmas week. Enjoy the things around you and the people.

Merry Christmas!
