A Softer Way to Finish the Season

 

Can you believe we’re only one week away from Christmas? This holiday season has flown by so quickly. I hope that even in the midst of all the busyness, you’ve been able to find a few moments to slow down and truly enjoy this time of year.

 

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by gift giving, decorating, packed calendars, or the pressure to do it all, I invite you to pause for just a moment. Take a deep breath. Check in with yourself and gently ask, What do I need right now?

 

It’s so easy to get caught up in the idea of having the perfect holiday season. We scroll through social media and see people doing all the things; looking calm, cozy, and completely at peace; and wonder why we don’t feel that way too. But remember, social media never tells the full story. Everyone’s version of a meaningful holiday looks different, and that’s okay.

 

As you move through this week, take a moment to reflect on what your version looks like. Is there something you can let go of that no longer feels good? And is there something you can replace it with that brings you comfort, joy, or excitement?

 

I hope this gentle pause helps guide you through these last weeks leading up to Christmas.

 

We also just wrapped up our 12 Days of Calm Challenge, and it truly made my heart so happy. To everyone who participated, thank you. I loved hearing how much you enjoyed it. The winner of the 12 Days of Calm Giveaway is Ashley T. ! I’m already dreaming about doing another challenge like this in the spring or summer, so keep an eye out for that.

 

Lastly, I’ve been quietly working on my next collection, set to release just in time for Valentine’s Day. Think lace, roses, and romance. If you don’t want to miss out, be sure to join the waitlist by clicking here.

 

Sending you warmth and calm as we head into the final stretch of the season
