The holiday season is a time in which I look forward to and yet dread in the same breath. The dinners, family time, and holiday cheer are all swell, yet there is still an ounce of rush and busyness that brings waves of stress and chaos. Learning to tread through those moments has been an issue for me. The first is just saying no (well, more importantly, learning to say yes to the moments that align closer to my spirit). Telling a friend I am unavailable for a coffee date that would be in the middle of the busy shopping center but saying yes to a joint dog walk out in nature. Especially when trying to finding a safe comfort zone after many months of isolation. 

With that, I wish you all a merry holidays. Enjoy a photo of my new puppy Blue who I will be spending most of my holiday time with.
