One more grind before the reset 🔥

Two years have gone by, and his presence remains close. Miss you Gramps ❤️

He showed me what it means to witness—without fixing, without urgency, without conditions. Before I had language for it, he embodied the truth that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

He taught me that healing is not found in the right words, but in being deeply seen. That presence itself is care.

Grief changed me. Love shaped me. And his legacy lives on in the way I sit with others.

The hurt is genuine, and so is the recovery. ❤️

I saw you in my dreams last night, and for a moment, it felt like the universe gave us another chance. 💫

People often remember the journey more than the outcome. Whatever you’re facing, keep moving forward every step counts. 💪🏻

Holiday Survival Guide Chapter 4: The Family Dynamic Defense

Remember that scene where Kevin sets up tripwires and paint cans? Your boundaries are your tripwires. You love your family and your family loves you, but they can still step on your last nerve. Here's a few b***y traps to deal with those filthy animals:

💒 Life stage interrogations: Have a polite, one-sentence response ready and stick to it. "That's a private matter, but I'm excited to see you," or, "I'm focusing on my career/dog/plant right now!" Keep your peace!

🫠 Political arguments about sensitive topics: If the tension rises, excuse yourself. "I just need to check on the ham," or, "I need some air." A 10-minute walk is better than a 2-hour brawl. Dodged that bullet!

👶Feeling Like a Kid Again (Reverting to old roles/tensions): Mentally remind yourself: "I am a capable adult. I can leave this conversation. I can say no." Be physically present, but emotionally independent.

Remind yourself that it's the season of togetherness - plan a walk, a skating session, a game, or an activity with your family members to focus on spending time and creating memories with one another. And don't be afraid to take a solo time out and reconnect with yourself.

Holiday Survival Guide Chapter 3: Financial Firepower

The consumer pressure that comes with the season of gifting makes us all want to be ‘rich’ like the McCallisters, but reality hits hard. The stress of spending can eclipse the joy of giving. The real gift is being together with your loved ones - and making sure that you prevent financial anxiety and putting yourself in the red for 2026.

💰 Set a Hard Cap: Before you step into a single store or click ‘buy,’ write down your total holiday spending budget. Not per person, but the entire bucket. Decide the right amount you want to spend this season and stick to it.

🎁 The Gift-Giving Reframe: Focus on presence over presents. Propose a family shift: Secret Santa, an experience-only gift rule, or a donation to charity in someone’s name. Cheeky suggestion: Give the gift of a handwritten coupon book for services—“”One Free Load of Laundry”” is priceless.

✍️ Track It or Trash It: Use your notes app, create a spreadsheet, or write in your journal to track every dollar spent. Seeing the total is the only way to avoid the January money panic. Knowing the enemy is half the battle.

Setting a plan will reduce your stress through the holiday season and beyond. You got this!

Holiday Survival Guide Chapter 2: Grief, reconciliation between self and others, and the inability to let go.

If you have a tricky relationship with family, are experiencing the loss of a loved one, or are in the midst of loneliness, the holidays. This is the ultimate self compassion exercise.

The Check-in Ritual (Name It to Tame It)
Before your day begins, pause and Ask:
⭐️ What am I feeling right now?
⭐️ Where do I feel it in my body?
⭐️ What do I need today- comfort, space, distraction, connection?
This prevents emotional overload and creates space for gentler self-understanding.

The Loneliness Toolkit
Loneliness isn’t a personal failure- it’s a signal. Try:
⭐️ Sensory comfort: warm lights, soft blankets, calming sounds.
⭐️ Reach out to one person (not five- just one).
⭐️ Anchor activities: a movie, a walk, a task that adds structure to the day.
⭐️ Create micro- connection: text a friend a photo of something that made you smile.

Old Man Marley teaches us that courage is what turns loneliness into connection. Where could you use some courage this holiday season? 🎄

It’s okay to be scared — it gives you something to be courageous about.– Rob Snair

This quote from my mentor, Rob Snair, has had a profound influence on the way I approach challenges in my practice. It reframed my understanding of fear, shifting it from something to avoid into something that can actually guide growth. Instead of seeing fear as a sign of weakness or inadequacy, I’ve learned to view it as an invitation to step into courage and stretch beyond my comfort zone. This perspective has helped me become more resilient, more open to taking risks, and more compassionate with myself in moments of uncertainty. It reminds me that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the decision to move forward despite it, and that mindset has strengthened both my confidence and my commitment to continuous learning.
