The holidays are knocking, don't answer the door stressed out, overthinking, or ready to side-eye cousin Mary for bringing up that old family tea. Breathe, boo! It’s your peace season—don’t hand it over to maxing out your credit cards, turkey drama, your ex’s drama or blended family drama, too much sugar, that old friend depression trying to pop up, politics, or that one relative who always stirs the pot with their issues. If you are grieving a loved one who is missing (death, divorce, distance, disagreements), try not to isolate. I know it’s tempting to sit in that quiet space, but healing happens when you let love in. Pick up the phone, reach out to someone you trust, or even take a moment to let the sun kiss your face. You don’t have to carry this alone—your strength is powerful, but so is connection. Remember, it’s okay to feel what you feel, just don’t let it keep you stuck.
Love wants to find you, even in the hardest moments.
Going shopping? Stick to the budget. Got family drama? Smile, sip your sparkling cider, and let folks be folks. Worry? God’s got this whole season covered like gravy on dressing. It’s not your job to fix people. Smile, nod, and let them talk while you mentally plan your next self-care day or travel in 2025.
This holiday, let’s choose presence over presents, grace over grudges, and peace over perfection. Play your favorite holiday music. You already know I'm will be listening to the Temptations' Christmas music!
Focus on joy, love, gratefulness, and being a blessing to others. Sparkle and shine this holiday—don’t let anything or anyone dim your light or steal your faith in God.
Love, Jewel Diamond Taylor
