Let us be present in every moment and hold them close to our hearts. Let us give of ourselves extravagantly. Let us love deeply.

As we come together celebrating with our family and friends, let us be sensitive to those around us who may be hurting during this time. Some are missing loved ones, some are grieving a loss, some have to fight just to get out of bed in the morning, some may even be smiling and laughing right next to you. For those of you that are hurting this season, I’m with you. I’m for you. You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone. Take it moment by moment. Lean into the waves. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to this beautiful community. I’m praying your day/season is filled with love beyond measure.
