Story Time: Christmas Traditions

-
   Christmas is five days away! I'm so excited, because Christmas is one of my all time favorite holidays. One of my favorite parts of Christmas aside from doing kind things for other people participating in fun traditions!

  Something that my family and I always do is have breakfast for dinner on Christmas Eve; most notably Denny's. This tradition started when my sister and I were little. We had just seen The Polar Express at the movie theater with our mom and grandparents and we were on our way home. As we were driving home, my sister said that she was hungry and the only place that was open that late was Denny's. Despite it being a cold and snowy winter, we agreed to stop at the restaurant. So we ended up having late night breakfast and we have been continuing on that tradition ever since. It's so heartwarming that this tradition has been continuing on for so long and I hope it will continue to do so. 

What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? 

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas!

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.
