i’ll be honest 🙃 i took christmas down last weekend and i really miss the warmth and vibe the decor brings to our home.

taking it down was pretty depressing... there were tears.

because endings are reeeally hard for me and i mean, BECAUSE I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

i guess that’s why i have a business dedicated to making it magical right?!

took this one last shot before starting the process of undoing.

the beautiful thing i have to remember is that it’s called a season because it comes back around... next season, we’ll get to create new magic all over again.

lastly, our tree was still looking AMAZING 🤩

swipe to see the video i took of her before we returned her back to the earth.

she was still so fresh, so lush, so sturdy. she did such a great job carrying us across the finish line of 2020.

if you live in Austin or Nashville, buy your tree from us next year! we have the most beautiful and freshest trees 🤍

she’ll last through the season and well into the new year, standing proudly to bring you joy for however your long heart might need her.

🤸🏼‍♂️ healthy play. 2021’s word for the year.

for those who have been here for a while, you know that for a long, long time i’ve been working my behind off to build the life i want.

truly, the past 10+ years has been a long, long grind. from working as a nurse tech in the hospital to gain medical experience, to going to an accelerated BSN program, to working overtime to afford my bills with student loans, to working two jobs - one as a full-time consultant, the other running GG - for the past 5 years, to transition into enneagram training during gg holiday season to.... well, today.

this time last year, i was all out of steam. i’d truly met the end of the rope. i knew i couldn’t go on any further working the way i was and I set out for 2020 to be a year of restoration.

restore. that was my word.

i knew if i could rest and solely focus on continuing the hard work to find financial peace and freedom from business and student loan debt that one day soon... i could play again.

when the pandemic hit, i was so privileged to not lose my job. i could stay the course... god made it easy to rest because the world was forced to stop... or else i may have never. saving money was also, thankfully easy because there was nowhere to go.

today was the first day of my new life - building my enneagram business (@beyondenneagram) and building @graciousgarlands. i worked so damn hard to get here.

my privilege and fortune is not lost on me. the gratitude i have for the favor I have received is overflowing. it gives me strength to pay it forward. it has given me strength to finally say it’s now my time to play.

healthy play, that is. i have spent a lot of my life playing... perhaps some might call it partying 💁🏼‍♀️... that in the end, has left me empty.

i want this year’s play to be full of things that fill me up:

less work

more friends

endless outdoor adventures

overflowing with flowers

cooking with friends

dance parties at 3pm

movies in bed

walks with the wildflowers

family zoom calls

letters to friends

morning yoga

lavender lattes

and laughs for days.

whatever may come my way... i’m ready to meet it with puppies. i mean, play 😆

☺️ over here focusing on the biggest lessons of 2020:

there are no rules. so do what brings you joy as long as it doesn’t hurt others.

don’t be afraid to be you and stand up for what you believe in. the world needs your unique and lovely voice.

we are not in control, we never have been but we know this now more than ever.

life is so short. too short to worry, too short to work so much, too short to try to keep up, too short to not slow down.

nothing is guaranteed...

so give a lot of grace, spread a lot of love, offer mutual respect and make fun wherever you are.

___

back to the top, there are no rules ✨ so if i want to hang greenery at any time of year because it brings me good tidings of great JOY. so be it 😆

and i encourage you to do what brings you joy as well!

what are the lessons you learned this year? share with us!

💫 we are in desperate need of a new collective

💫 we are in desperate need of a new collective horizon.. or so we think. we think we need the this pandemic to go away for us to give ourselves permission to start again. to start anew.

collectively there is a sense we currently have that when the pandemic is over all will be well. that’s when we can press reset and start again.

dear ones, while getting this pandemic behind us is certainly a dire need, we don’t have to wait to start over. to begin again.

the beautiful thing about being alive is our breath is our constant reminder of “out with the old, in with the new.”

so as we enter into a new year, remember that you have permission to start again. at any moment, we can start again.

with every breath, you’re already doing it. out with the old, in with the new.

let your breath, your vitality, your aliveness be a reminder that you have the strength and courage to start again. i know its scary.

out with the old, in with the new.

but i know you’re capable. you can do it.

out with the old, in with the new.

in fact, you probably just did.

thank you judy garland for giving us this song that has never been as moving to me as it is this year ✨ playing on repeat...

have yourself a merry little christmas, let your heart be light
next year all our troubles will be out of sight
have yourself a merry little christmas, make the yule-tide gay
next year all our troubles will be miles away

once again as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
will be near to us once more

someday soon, we all will be together, if the fates allow
until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
so have yourself a merry little christmas now

once again as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
will be near to us once more

someday soon, we all will be together, if the fates allow
until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
so have yourself a merry little christmas now

✨ sending you all lots of love and hope that someday soon we will all be together, once more
