Not everyone's holly is super jolly this season. For some people this season holds an incredibly profound and somewhat disorienting duality. It's both magical and bright and beautiful - but also painful and hard and lonely. It can be both, and that is ok. And it's ok to honor that. This year might be someone's first Christmas since a breakup or a divorce, their first Christmas as a single parent or their 3rd - being the sole maker of all the Christmas magic - and it's so fu***ng lonely and also incredibly rewarding. It's someone's first Christmas without a parent or since that horrifyingly painful friend breakup that they thought they would never survive. It's someone's first Christmas in a new place or away from the family they wish they could be with.

I think this season always reminds me that I can be kind. I can be that smile or encouraging word that might change someone's day just a bit and make them feel less alone. And so I'm just going to keep doing that. I think we are all experiencing overwhelm at one level or another - but we don't have to do it alone.

2025 - The year of the snake
It calls you to shed anything that no longer supports your well-being - including the snakes in the grass. To move with purpose, not pressure. To transform quietly yet powerfully. To act with intention and respond with precision. And to let your growth speak louder than any revenge ever could.
