Here we are the week before Thanksgiving, getting ready for the annual food fest.

Joy is more long lived than happiness. Does it matter?

Change your perspective and the world changes. Gratitude changes everything.

You are the only one who can take care of you during the holidays. Do it well.

Relationships transition gradually, something like the annual seasons; but these are the seasons of our life.

If you find yourself unhappy or sad this season, be gently with yourself – exercise self-compassion.

Create a Holiday plan and budget to manage your money and time. Find joy in this busy season.

Take a quick power nap in the middle of the afternoon to get re-energized.

Self-care is where you put your oxygen mask on first. No one else can do this for you and you cannot help another person if you are deprived of sleep, good food, or self-care.
