Christmas is around the corner!!! Like me, you may still be trying to take care of a few gifts. Here's a solution you did not know you needed --- I feel like "Off the Couch" would be a great stocking stuffer or an excellent addition to a book bundle or a great pairing with a bottle of wine for yourself or a friend!

As of today, Amazon will be able to deliver before Christmas. Just saying....

When our son was one, the Magic Christmas Bag (MCB) made its appearance. Starting Dec. 1st, leading up to Christmas, the bag would mysteriously have a new book waiting for him. As he grew older, it became harder to find a book he hadn't already read in his favorite series. Last year, the MCB pivoted and contained snacks from around the world. This year, it pivoted again. This time the focus was/is on self-care. Probably not too surprising given what I do for a living. I love a broad definition of self-care. The MCB has contained simple surprises with messages ranging from finding joy not just in the big things but also the small ones, tending to needs, taking pauses, and positive/gentle self-talk. We know it is important that we take care of the things we own; sometimes we forget that means us too.

I love seeing the small and creative ways people take to support themselves. A friend shared pieces of jewelry, each holding a different message for her—reminders to stand firm against anxiety and hold on to her sense of self. I love it when we can turn everyday items into meaningful anchors.

The challenge for the week is to be unapologetically present!

"You have the opportunity to show grace to self, to others, to both, if that is what is called for. In addition, we have the option to allow situations to hinder our opportunities for growth. The great thing about life is that we have the right to make what others will call 'bad' decisions. We can be unapologetically present, have our voices heard, learn through very public means, and take up space. We have the right to be an active participant in life. And yes, you even have the option to live your life in a box, where you might feel 'safer' but potentially at the cost of living a life where much of it is happening without you. It is okay for your vision to be your own; it is okay if that vision does not generate lots of support. That does not make your vision any less important or valid."

There is so much goodness here!!!!

This is such a great example of the impact something seemingly ordinary can have when it is transformed to something meaningful.

Work was done here. The blanket was shuffled; the pillow studied, held, and tossed aside. There was reflection, contemplation, and expression. Frustrations voiced; fears expressed; laughter shared. This is therapy.
