As we wrap up the year, we want to make sure you know you much we appreciate you. Thank you for being part of our Herd.
We hope your holidays are full of peace and well-being. May they be INSPIRED.
We know this time of year can also be challenging. We feel it too.
Here is what I am learning: Life sometimes goes differently than planned.
Illness, loss, and even this crazy-ass weather are outside my control. So I am (reluctantly) choosing to accept what comes and show up to the moment however I can.
Am I exhausted? Sure.
Stressed? Uh-huh.
Missing my loved ones far away? You bet.
And Lord knows I have not ordered everything on everyone’s lists in time or at all. I am letting go of whatever is not done and decided that whatever is, is enough.
This year I am giving myself the gift of compassion, grace, and rest.
What are you gifting to yourself?
As women, we tend to give and give... till we give out.
For years, as a single mom to young kids, I bought myself little things to put in my stocking so my kids wouldn’t think I didn’t make it onto Santa’s list. I remember the looks on their faces when they exclaimed, “He knows you like chocolate… and Sephora!”
If not for them (and perpetuating a myth), I would never have considered giving myself anything.
Don’t forget the most important person on your list. It’s YOU.
It could be a cute bauble or a time out to feel whatever you need to feel right now.
You’ve heard Cher and I repeatedly say: You cannot pour from an empty vessel.
So give yourself a break. Savor the little moments: the highs, the lows, and the imperfection of it all.
With so much love,
C&C
