‘Twas the morning of Kris Kringle’s day, and all through the town, a blog awaited to be posted, for all was merry and bright in time for the busy day ahead. The decorated tree sat patiently, all still and brightened from the rising sun that peeked through the windows. The fire was slowly roasting, gradually filling the house with warmth and comfort. Footsteps started slowly and quietly creeping into the stillness, almost like magic. The stove turned on and milk was being frothed, for hot cocoa was prepped and the aroma of chocolate filled the noses of the family around. The curtains began to open, for the snow filled the ground and snowflakes in the air, A white Christmas had arrived (I am surprised this kinda actually came partially true despite the big storm). The blog was posted and the crowd filled in. Wrapping paper covered the ground, all red and green. The food was prepped, the food was enjoyed and the company was cherished. To all a merry Christmas and to all a good night!

Christmas is officially falling on BLOG POST DAY!

Merry Christmas from me and happy holidays <3

This year was craziness. and a whirlwind of everything.

So I really hope you are able to take some time to take a break. Relax, reset, and spend time focusing on you.

We all think that the “go-go-go” mindset is good as it really helps us be productive and successful; but it also takes a huge toll on us mentally and physically. Over the past week, I have definitely been hit by this exhaustion that I have built up since I have been on major X-games mode, or whatever you prefer to say. My mind is in overdrive, my body hasn’t had a break and I am now experiencing everything I have suppressed to get through exams.

I love the holidays for the reason that it helps me work through what I wasn’t able to confront head on during my stress periods. It’s a time to get in the spirit and really embrace being at home. It gets tough because I am readjusting again but it soon gets comfortable when I realize I don’t have much I have to attend to.

I know the holidays can also be hard. It can be a really tough and busy period too. So don’t forget that we all deserve time for ourselves. To take care of ourselves. To reflect on what we are grateful for. To cherish those around us. To learn where we can grow a little too. Because this season looks different for everyone. Everyone experiences different emotions, different situations, and it’s necessary to be mindful of that too. Supporting one another, leaning on each other, showing comfort and welcoming embraces. Knowing that these times can be hard mentally for many reminds me that we really don’t know everything going on with those around us. And it’s super important to realize that life gets hard, things happen within the blink of an eye, and each and every person has vulnerable moments where they may be struggling more.

I am sending love to everyone. Always.

We all deserve so many beautiful things in this world. Love, laughter, joy.

It may seem like a lifetime away, or something impossible. But I believe we are all capable of these amazing moments. Actually, deserve these amazing moments. It’s hard when we face negativity or challenges face-to-face and try and work past it. But I know for each person, there is good that is going to come. There is light on its way when it may seem dark and cloudy.

I am wishing everyone a HAPPY HOLIDAYS<3

you all mean the world to me.

STAY KIND:)

with love

grace <3
