As people travel for the holidays...I wish you safe and happy travels!


And for all those who struggle through or due to the holidays....BIG HUGS. (I feel ya)


A few tips and tricks to get you through:


1. It is a fantastic time to practice SELF LOVE. Want that fun coffee or special treat? Buy it, enjoy it. Want to lay in bed all day and watch movies, do it that sounds fun. Whatever makes you happy, do it, you deserve to be happy.

2. Super nice time to be, well, super nice lol....and feel how it feels to be able to help someone else out. Those endorphins seems to hit different. And on the holidays, added bonus of knowing you are helping in a time when others are just truly struggling.

3. Warm things matter! Stay as warm as possible, soups, warm drinks, warm comfy blankets socks or beds....it's cold. And hard. That is a combo for comfort objects for sure.


4. If nothing else just know you are human and allowed to be you...your feelings are valid no matter where they are at, and this too shall pass! So hang in there


We are only 38 days away from the chaos!!!

Very nice of you !!
Happy holidays !!
It's the thought that counts, a phone call, a text to someone ya know is alone or in a rough patch can mean a lot, especially around the holidays.

Right around the Holiday season, this topic comes up every year since I've joined.

Yes, it gets slower than usual because people have already planned their vacation for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don't forget the layoffs that have happened throughout the year.

Yes, layoffs are increasing in 2025 and have reached the highest levels since 2009, with October 2025 being the worst month on record for that specific month in over 20 years. Companies are citing economic uncertainty, cost-cutting, and the impact of AI as key reasons for these job cuts.

The struggle is real for many.
