An affirmation for the holidays, for gathering strength for the new year, and for loving one another and ourselves.
by Liz Richards
Holidays are for the ones we love. Luckily, that will never change.
Our loved ones aren't perfect, and neither are we.
This past year has been a trying one, and too often divisive.
The new year ahead will be filled with plenty of its own tribulations. There's plenty of fighting ahead. Fighting to understand, fighting for what's right, fighting for one another, fighting for the people fighting against us. The new year is for moving, the new year is for action.
But this week is for pausing, for surrounding ourselves with as much love as we can and and being more present than we ever have been.
This week is for rebirth, rejuvenation. There's a long road ahead, so let's take this week and catch our breath, refresh.
Every belly laugh is a victory.
Every shared meal is a success.
Every kind gesture, among relatives, among strangers,and toward ourselves is an affirmation that love always wins.
Pour some eggnog. Bite into a freshly baked cookie.
Laugh and love even if it hurts. Especially then.
There's strength in homemade French toast. There's all of the support we need in family holiday traditions.
We have everything we need to make the new year as bright as it can be from all of the memories we build around us.
In Love and Light, Happy Holidays.
