Here we are in mid December. All the holiday hustle and bustle in full swing. How are y’all doing? I am doing my best to continue the promise I made to myself. Soaking in what this season is, enjoying the magic and wonder of it all.

Now that my kids are older, my perfect is different. My reality is different. My joy is having all of us in a room together, watching a Christmas movie. The magic is in those moments together, they are the simple moments. They are what my heart truly needs this season.

I have let go of some of my usual decorating. Decorating anything for any season/reason is part of who I am. I didn’t let it go purposely, it just hasn’t happened. And crazy enough it is not bothering me that some of it has not been done.

Most, if not all of my shopping has been done online this year. I have had little to no desire to go out the stores. My priorities are shifting and I have naturally been leaning into that shift. The countdown is in full swing. I hope I can continue leaning into what feels peaceful and joyful.

There is no right way to do this season, there is no perfect. What you and your sweet ones will remember are the feelings and experiences you had together. Make this week a week of soaking in the small, simple moments.

Standing in my power,

Torre
