🌕 Super Cold Moon Is Coming! ❄️✨

On December 4, the Moon will reach its full phase right around perigee—its closest point to Earth. That means it will be about 27,000 km (16,777 miles) closer than average, making it appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical micromoon.

🌌 Step outside and soak in the glow of the year’s brightest full Moon—a Super Cold Moon lighting up the December sky!

If conversations have started about gift giving among your friends and family, suggest the gift of connection. Making, writing or doing something for someone can reduce financial pressure, while also creating an opportunity to meaningfully connect with loved ones.

Today’s teens are growing up in a social landscape unlike anything previous generations have known, and their brains are developing in response to that reality.

It’s tempting to say to teens, “These are the best years of your life!”—but let’s pause. That might not be true for them.

If you’ve ever wanted to throw your phone out the window, imagine the constant pressure of managing multiple devices, apps, platforms, and unspoken digital rules—all overlapping and evolving daily. For teens, staying socially and academically “adequate” requires nonstop technological upskilling. And behind every screen is a system designed by experts to hook attention and hijack dopamine. It’s no wonder they need offline guides to help them make sense of their inner world.

Many parents experienced rejection and embarrassment privately—without an audience. Today, the smallest misstep can be filmed, uploaded, tagged, and immortalised online. Worse, even baseless rumors can damage a teen’s reputation. Social mistakes aren’t confined to the moment—they can ripple out into college applications, job opportunities, and beyond.

We may not fully grasp the world they’re navigating—but that’s okay.
Empathy doesn’t require perfect understanding.
It starts with curiosity, not comparison. 💛

Yoga offers a gentle yet powerful way to manage anxiety, bringing calm to both the body and mind. Poses like Child’s Pose, Seated Forward Bend, and Downward Dog are excellent tools to help release built-up tension and restore balance. These calming poses work by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress and anxiety.

As you move into each pose, focus on your breath. Slow, deep inhalations and exhalations activate the body’s relaxation response, easing mental stress. The beauty of these poses is their simplicity and accessibility—whether you’re at home, in the office, or outdoors, they can be done anytime. Yoga offers you a moment of peace in the midst of a busy day.

Don’t be afraid to take a pause and practice these yoga poses whenever you feel anxious or overwhelmed. They’re not just exercises—they’re tools for finding emotional stability and grounding yourself. With just a few minutes of mindfulness and movement, you’ll be able to shift your focus and embrace a sense of calm.
