Hello and Happy Holidays, dear one! I hope you have been indulging in all the ease, cosiness, warmth, rest, connection, joy, and love that you deserve and desire during this sacred holy time. However, you have been celebrating—I am wishing you a nourishing season and Happy New Year, too!

As we drop in with the holy days, it is wholesome to slow down from busy-ness, to reflect on the past year, to gather with loved ones, and to appreciate all that we have. And while I am doing just that—after watching an inspiring short with Mel Robbins—I am also taking on a new end of the year ritual.

I have spent countless time, energy, and money on dying my hair. Whether it was to have a warm hue to match my skin tone or cover-up those undesirable grays—it has been a long journey of conforming my crown with societal norms. And, I am done!

As the season of holy days is upon us, it is beautiful to acknowledge all we have to be grateful for. Oftentimes, it’s natural to do so with what is and has been “good” in our life. And while I fully support and do this practice myself—I also appreciate and encourage being grateful for what has been hard.

Have you ever sat in a safe and loving circle with other women—sharing your Self authentically? Where you talk about your darkest moments, deepest fears, and greatest longings?
