Whether you're prepping for a great dinner with friends and family, planting gifts under the tree, or spending the day solo in a new tradition, I am here to say I love you and this Christmas is dedicated to YOU!
Since 2020, I've struggled with the Christmas season. Prior to my father's passing that year, my traditions were wrapped into his love for the season. My father was like Santa to me, because he loved everything about Christmas and made sure our family felt his joy during the holiday. Now that he's gone, my love for the holiday has faded a bit and I've struggled to create new traditions with my family. However, one thing that I do is dedicate each season to the people I am grateful for.
That leads me to you.

If you are grieving for any reason this season, know I understand. My heart is clinging to yours as we all redefine our holiday season with what feels good to us right now. You got this. We got this.
If you've got a few minutes this week, I'd love for you to listen to our latest podcast episode where Dr. Dolores Tarver, Rev. Amarylis West, and Ebony Young, LPC discuss boundaries and how to protect them during delicate times such as the holiday season.
These ladies also did a spectacular job breaking down how to navigate the holiday season in a separate episode HERE.
And, if you didn't see our latest social post, you can check it out HERE. My social team shared some amazing tips for navigating the holiday dinner conversations. Trust me, it doesn't have to be as awkward as it's been in the past.
