Happy New Year from our crew to you!
Stepping into this one joyful, grateful, and reinvigorated!
This comes on the coattails of what has easily been the most peaceful, joyful, and PRESENT holiday season we’ve had in a long time. Not just for obvious reasons like “Baby’s First Christmas,” but because we were truly able to “savor the hush.”
Every year I read the book (Calm Christmas by
@bethkempton ), and a particular chapter titled “Savoring the Hush.” It’s about stepping out of the hustle and bustle, and leaning into the slower, softer, quieter side of the holidays. Making room for whatever it is that recharges your batteries.
In several years past, life has lifed, and I often found myself reading that chapter with envy, longing, or even bitterness that the concept felt out of reach in particular seasons. Then I’d putter into the New Year on fumes, depleted from the holiday hustle, never taking the time to reflect, rest, and recharge. And would dive right into the halfhearted fete of pouring from an empty cup.
Well, as they say… NOT TODAY Satan! 💃🏻 Not this year!
With a cup full of gratitude, and a heart full of grit, I’m ready for ya 2025!
