It’s only early November (correction - MID!), but the wave is starting to build.  Family get-togethers, seasonal parties, upcoming travel plans, shopping lists, crowds, heightened expectations.  For those of us at a certain stage in life or personally connected to any of the terrible turmoil in the world, this holiday may hold even deeper angst - painfully reminding us of who or what is no longer in our lives, or despair in witnessing life’s darkest aspects.  

This isn’t meant to depress or alarm, but to give a heads-up.  Rather than, a few weeks from now, suddenly finding yourself fully immersed in holiday angst or overwhelm, start becoming mindful now.  Start paying attention to messages coming your way reminding you of your own wisdom and transformational possibilities as the deeper offerings found within this collective experience we call the holidays.

Whether sparked by holiday angst or something else, be present to opportunities to uncover habitual, unconscious limiting patterns within yourself so you can elevate your challenges into a more satisfying, graceful and compassionate reality.

What are you ready to change for yourself around the holidays this year?

What holiday angst would you like to elevate to love?

 Over the next weeks, stay attuned to messages and opportunities calling you to alchemize your experience of the holidays into more of what they have always been meant to be - an opportunity of expanded gratitude, loving connection and peace, through you, to the world.
