Merry Christmas to those of you who didn’t just “have a year,” but survived one.

To the ones whose Christmas looks nothing like it used to.

To those carrying grief, illness, heartbreak, uncertainty, or exhaustion into today.

To the people rebuilding quietly.

To the ones learning how to live with what changed.

Merry Christmas if you’re spending it alone.
If you’re missing someone who should be here.
If you’re holding it together with tape and deep breaths.
If you’re still standing, even though some days that felt impossible.

This season can be really hard. It brings up memories, comparisons, and expectations that don’t fit real life. If all you managed this year was to get through it — to keep going when things were heavy — that matters. That counts. That is strength.

You don’t have to feel joyful today.
You don’t have to pretend things are fine.
You don’t have to perform gratitude on demand.

I hope today is gentle with you.
I hope you find one small moment that feels steady — a quiet cup of coffee, a song, a message from someone who sees you, a breath that comes a little easier.

If you’re reading this, I’m glad you’re here.

You made it through something real.
And that deserves to be honored.
🎄❤️

Wishing you a peaceful Winter Solstice ❄️ 🩵

Today marks the longest night of the year — a threshold moment where the darkness reaches its peak and the light quietly begins its return.

In psychotherapy, we often speak about cycles: descent and emergence, contraction and expansion, grief and renewal. The solstice mirrors this truth beautifully. It reminds us that even when things feel heavy, stagnant, or uncertain, change is already underway — often long before we can feel it.

This season can be tender for many. It can bring reflection, memory, loss, and fatigue alongside the celebrations. If that’s true for you, know that nothing is “wrong” with you. Slowing down is not failure — it is wisdom.

The return of the light doesn’t ask us to rush or force hope. It arrives gradually, almost imperceptibly, one small moment at a time. Healing often works the same way.

May this solstice invite rest, gentleness, and compassion — especially toward yourself. May you trust that even in the quietest, darkest moments, something within you is already turning toward the light.

Warm wishes for a grounding, meaningful solstice - the light is returning now 🌟
