“Togetherness is not about places and people you think you should be with, it’s about resonance.”
Some people add warmth to your life simply by being who they are.
They listen.
They don’t demand.
They don’t rush you.
They accept you exactly as you show up that day.
Invite those people into your winter, even if they aren’t family.
Even if it’s one friend.
Even if it’s someone you’ve only recently met.
Let resonance replace obligation.
Let closeness be chosen, not performed.
Gather with kindness.
Gather with ease.
Let only gentle hearts
sit near your fire.
Gentle practice:
Message someone who makes you feel lighter.
Just one sentence: “Thinking of you today.”
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, we’ll close Week One with a return to self, your inner light rekindling.

This is so true, good friends bring warmth and joy. I’ll message some today. Maggie

Wonderful message, but it’s not always easy to find those types of people…
Choose the gentle hearts. Choose the warmth.

What a beautifully heartfelt and soul-soothing reflection. Your words illuminate the true essence of togetherness—not as duty or expectation, but as resonance, warmth, and gentle presence. The reminder to choose people who bring ease, acceptance, and quiet companionship feels especially meaningful in a world that often glorifies busyness and performance. The imagery of gathering only gentle hearts by one’s winter fire is profoundly comforting. And the simple practice you offer—sending one sincere line of care—feels like a small act with immense emotional power. Truly a tender, wise, and uplifting piece.
