Working toward making this a habit. When I had to turn on the heat this morning (waited for as long as I could, but when I woke up it was 59 in the house) the heater started right up. And now we are sitting in a warming house my little one is drinking hot chocolate and I have my coffee! And starting to watch the Hallmark Christmas Movies I have recorded!

I lack finding the gratitude in things sometimes. I am so grateful I do not live with or near my dad. But I do find gratitude I went through as a kind to know and ensure my girls will not be hurt by him.

On Saturday, my mom passed away, and while I feel a deep sadness, there's also relief knowing she's no longer in pain. Death is something I accept in a way that might seem different to others, but I find peace in knowing she’s free. Looking back on our relationship, I feel a mix of emotions. I’ve had moments of regret, wishing I’d shown up differently at times. But I’ve taken time to sit with those feelings, to feel them in my body, and to offer comfort and forgiveness to that version of myself. What stands out most is the love we shared—a relationship filled with compassion and understanding. Now, both people who created me are no longer here on this earth, and I know our connection will continue in the spirit world. Their love lives on in me, and I’m grateful for every moment we had together. Grief is here, but so is gratitude. Their presence and love will always be a part of who I am, and I’ll carry that forward with me. Gratitude is such a healing energy, and I don’t even know that the word gratitude carries the significance of the power it has… when we deepen into this power, we can overcome any obstacle. We get filled up with magic and become unstoppable. I’d love to hear all your thoughts on this ❤️
