I hope you are all having an amazing week and enjoy some holiday treats.

I hope you are all having an amazing week and enjoy some holiday treats.

There are only ten more shopping days left until Christmas! But guess what? You actually don’t have to get it all done – the holidays will go on smoothly and wonderfully even if a few things get forgotten or left off your ever growing to do list. Be kind to yourself, patient and allow yourself to slow down and enjoy.

Always keep your chin up and your eyes open. A positive attitude and a keen sense of observation will ensure that you never miss out on anything important.

Sometimes you just need something extra. Extra time, extra money, extra goats. Don’t be afraid to indulge every now and then.

Take extra care of yourself as the holidays approach – this can be a joyous time of year but also a time of year that stirs up all sorts of things. Be patient, practice self care and don’t feel bad about eating an extra cookie or two.

Self care isn’t selfish during the holidays
Unfortunately, it is inevitable that sometimes people say or do unfortunate things. You have no control over the actions of others, but you do have control over your own actions and reactions. As challenging as it can be, always choose kindness and compassion.

Illegitimi non carborundum
Home is where your refuge is – where your people are – the ones who support you and nourish you even though they know everything about you.

Families come in all shapes and sizes
Some things are just out of our control. If you did everything you could simply set it out of your mind and let the universe do the rest. Of course, that is easier said than done.

If you are ever feeling overwhelmed just give yourself a gentle reminder that you are enough just as you are.

You’ve got everything you need already
Step into the upcoming week with purpose – whatever you have planned do it fully and intentionally.
