Forget the holiday cheer

Share This Post:

The holidays, am I right? Just typing that I am exhausted. What is it about them that just mentally exhausts us and makes us ridiculously emotional?

For a lot of us, it’s family dynamics and figuring out how to cope with them or not…might I suggest the latter?

Whatever it is, cut yourself some slack. This time of year is hard. If Christmas cheer isn’t radiating off of you, who cares? The expectations we have for the holidays, sets us up for disappointment.

Might I suggest that instead, pour that glass of wine, turn on Elf and be kind to yourself.

Remember, you are not alone (no one is really that happy).

I wrote the much-requested, much-anticipated sequel to The Gray Wave: Why Women Are Leaving.

Just a week ago, I headed up to the cabin for the first time in months. We’ve owned the cabin for almost 10 years. It’s remote. The driveway requires four-wheel-drive, and if it isn’t maintained, we can’t get to it. For as long as we’ve owned it, I’ve asked for snow plowing to be set up.

Your journey, your story; it’s yours to own.

Don’t let setbacks or failure define you; opportunity is often disguised as defeat.

I love ice cream, Stranger Things and #bigdealenergy
