“Your way of celebrating is not wrong, just yours.”
There is a quiet courage in choosing new rhythms, not everyone wants large gatherins or crowds. Not everyone wants noise or has the capacity to to host. Not everyone wants to stay until midnight or travel long distances. Celebration that costs your peace is not celebration, it’s performance.
You can love your family and friends and still choose shorter visits, smaller circles, or a different day entirely. You can say no to what collapses your nervous system and yes to what nourishes your soul. You can create holidays that feel like healing instead of acting.
Celebrate in your language,
the rhythm only you know.
Joy is more honest
when it’s allowed to grow.
Gentle practice:
Choose how you want to celebrate this year by adding one thing new to experience without resistance but instead observation, let wisdom create new insights to build upon new ideas and allow courage always to be honored. There is no growth or knowing more when change is resented and resisted by anyone. It is within celebration we honor someone or something important to us, when it becomes less than that, change is required.

Tomorrow, we gather everything we’ve explored this week and lay down what no longer fits.

Absolutely — you’ve expressed it so beautifully. Real freedom blooms when we honour differences, allow feelings to heal at their own pace, and welcome change with an open heart. That’s where love becomes its truest and most generous form. Thank you for sharing such a wise and gentle thought.”

The first paragraph hit home. I choose events that nourish my soul not drain my energy. It’s just good to be authentic. Short visits sometimes leave a lasting memories. Hugs, Kerri
