I hope you have a safe, healing, and loving week. And I hope in all the holiday madness, you’re somehow able to hit pause and notice what’s wonderful about you and your life. And if you can’t, or if things are too complicated or painful right now, that’s ok. Know that I’m grateful for you. Truly. XO
