“Tradition begins the moment something brings you peace twice.”
This year doesn’t have to look like last year.
Holidays don’t have to be inherited; they can be created.
You can walk by the lake.
You can rest in an RV.
You can invite one friend.
You can take yourself on a date.
You can craft something simple and call it sacred.
Traditions are repeated moments of meaning.
Start small, start true.
Let what nourishes you
be what guides you.
Let peace become
your yearly ritual.
Gentle practice:
Create one new winter ritual today, no matter how small.

Tomorrow, we’ll explore being alone without feeling lonely.
SONSHINE FOR YOU 
Love this, Kerri. Such a calm, grounding reminder to make our own meaning.

What a beautifully calming and liberating piece. The reminder that traditions are not obligations but chosen moments of meaning feels like a breath of fresh winter air. Your words gently open the door to a kinder way of living—one where peace, authenticity, and nourishment guide our choices rather than expectation or habit. I love the invitation to start small and start true; it makes the idea of creating new rituals feel tender, accessible, and deeply personal. A lovely reflection, full of warmth and quiet empowerment.

That sounds like a peaceful idea. No need to argue with uncle Earl over the holidays.
