The holidays are just around the corner, with Thanksgiving coming in fast. It’s not an easy time for lots of folks. We may feel isolated within our own family systems, or stuck at highly dysfunctional holiday tables. We may be facing the holiday alone. Maybe for the first time. If holidays are painful or isolating for you, you’re not alone in your experience. The season can be hugely challenging to navigate for many of us. There’s still time to plan. Making a plan for yourself, as well as, a backup plan, is some of the best preventative care you can provide yourself. Make a plan. I’m here to help, if you need support in figuring it all out, shoring up boundaries, or working through the feelings of grief and loss that can emerge this time of the year. You have time now to feel your way through and find the best solutions for this moment this year.

It’s a hard thing to live in this world and in this country.

On so many levels, in so many ways.

We continue to move from one unimaginable violent loss to the next. And so often the targets are people of color. It’s not new. And it’s a lot.

This moment plays out against a seemingly endless backdrop of death. A loss of over a million lives in the US and 6.28 million worldwide to COVID.

A stunning war in Europe.

Ecological crisis.

It’s thrumming all our survival systems. There’s a reason you may feel exhausted at times; having to dig deeper for your joy and wellbeing.

Please give yourself extra care and compassion. All our nervous systems are experiencing sustained assault. We are tired, afraid, angry, and grieving, even in our numbness.
