Christmas is always a time I intend to navigate better, only to find that once again I have exhausted myself with present planning, buying, wrapping, not to mention balancing everyone&#8217;s expectations, getting the home looking right, the food correct and the all the cards sent! So I find that I need to remind myself to &#8220;be&#8221;, to &#8220;breathe&#8221; and to enjoy the small moments! To feed my heart on the &#8220;in between&#8221; times in life and relax in the calm and intimacy that is there. To be &#8220;full&#8221; instead of falling into the snares of comparison, and to be kind to myself instead of feeling like I&#8217;ve not made everything happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JAi5GQ159oY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>May I embrace this treasure that is freely available.
