During the Holiday season, I hear so very often people feeling despair due to their family having fractured connections, money being less than needs and nothing near what presents might require, real life not resembling anything close to television glitter or facebook stellar moments.
Please remember you have both family of blood and a family of the heart. When one is cracked or broken, the other is there to love, sustain, and care. Holidays, regardless of which religion to which you belong or you abstain, are there to celebrate the miracles of life in all the myriad possibilities it has. And that which is illusion will never anchor you when challenges arise. Instead, that which is real will serve as your foundation to build something that echoes through the ages.
You each are real. You each matter. And to everyone who breathes - there are connections which bind you into the tapestry that makes life. Celebrate that which you have, that of which you dream, and the family you have chosen to make within this world.
My Holiday Wish is this:
May each of you find yourself to be enough;
May each of you find the courage to step outside whatever box has been placed around you in order that you find what your potential truly is;
May each of you find peace in your life and love within the connections you have to others.
Be kind to yourselves and to each other.
