Take a Seat

The holidays are such a hectic time! There is so much planning, buying, cooking, calling, mailing, traveling and visiting going on. We rush through our days trying to be efficient and looking to please everyone... We tend to focus on the energy we need to put forth, and we forget to be authentic to ourselves; to the season.
So I share with you a photo above, as an invitation for you to slow down and sit! Please snuggle in that chair for a moment, and fully experience all the joy and glory of the season!
When you're feeling pressure... Take a seat and lighten up. Don't be so hard on yourself. You've done enough. Too much seriousness about everything only contributes to a killjoy attitude!
When you're feeling frustrated... Take a seat and breathe. You can give in to anger and resentment or you can hold your seat and be merry!
When you're feeling disconnected... Take a seat, close your eyes and put your hands over your heart. Let the beat humble you. Allow it to make you feel grateful for all that you are, all that you have and all that you do!
From our home to yours, Merry Christmas.
