December 1998 is the last Christmas holiday with my dad physically present. We opened gifts in the hospital and by Jan 07 he had transitioned. This time of year always brings sadness. Tears may not always surface but feelings of missing my dad and family gatherings do.

Holidays suck for different reasons for different people. Some of us are unaware why sadness is present so please gentle to yourself and others ALWAYS, ALL WAYS you never know what someone is going through.

Life experiences bring much joy, however memories are forever embedded in our minds. Make space for sadness, make space for joy, and make space for your healing. Be gentle to everyone you come into contact with and set boundaries for your energy.

Enjoy these 31 days of self love and healing.
