Whatever you need is OK! This brief presentation is a gift for everyone who is experiencing grief this holiday season. (And not just grief due to death, but ANY kind.) Kindness and gentleness on yourself. ❤ They include a "Coping with the Holidays Checklist and a "Re-evaluate Your Holiday Activities Chart" I would add a column to the "re-evaluate" chart that asks, "What is the meaning of this for you?" Sending LOVE to each one of you who is facing grief due to loss of so many kinds. ❤

The mysteries of life are to be enjoyed. Thank you, Mary Oliver.

Looking for growth is a resiliency strategy that will save you a million little times in life! "Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be... for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed." ~Alice Walker, Living by the Word: Essays

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose." Thank you for the stellar advice, Dolly!

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that. Being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” (Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum)
