I literally wish to quit Christmas every year at least once! And I get the desire to pull my covers over my head and skip whatever it is that’s coming up pretty often… Thanks for putting words to these feelings, and thank you for the practical ideas for walking gently on days like those. Love you!

Thank you, Kathy. 🥰

I used to be afraid of these feelings and feel bad about myself for having them.

Now I see them more clearly for what they are, an invitation to come to the table. To reach out for connection instead of internalizing in isolation.

It is in the pain that I have encountered wonder.

Love you, Kathy. ❤️
