💕Happy National Spouse’s Day 2025! 💕
Life has this tendency to be hectic even on the best day. Among the chaos of the daily grind there is someone that is on that ride with you…your spouse, your partner!
Sooo… today let’s celebrate your ‘ride or die’; your anchor point; the one that helps you not take life too seriously or at least helps make the serious parts a little more tolerable; the one that is there for the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between!
Let this be a little challenge for you to pause and find a way to celebrate your love on this National Spouse’s Day!
What will you do to celebrate each other? Gestures small or big, doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you pause with purpose and celebrate!

Some time to breathe, learn some therapeutic skills for self care and decreasing holiday stress & anxiety. As well as some time to learn techniques for better coping with the cold winter days that come along once the holidays have ended.

[A Daily Gift]
Day #4: Home for the Holidays
Reuniting at the end of he day has so much potential.
The Gottman Method spotlights departures and reunions as full of possibilities for connecting with your partner.
But life has a way of the routine becoming a little too mundane. So this challenge is straight to the point.
Take some time to connect with your partner and share with them what it is that they do that makes you look forward to coming home to them each day!
Just like coming home for the holidays, look for the warmth and happiness that makes your reunion the highlight of your day.

[Daily Gift Day 3]
Signed, Sealed, But not delivered… Yet!
So many times in my counseling sessions with couples the topic of appreciation arises. This could be through various relationship exercises or conversationally. Regardless it is a factor.
Often the belief is that if we just say thank you more often for things it will get the point across. But does it really?
Sometimes the thank you does not have the same meaning in the impact as it did in the intention.
So for this challenge we are going to build appreciation and anticipation.
Prompt number one: Write the top 5 reasons you love your partner. You can be concise and to the point or elaborate on each.
The point is let them behind the curtain to how you see them, appreciate and love them.
You will deliver these envelopes on New Year’s Day. With hopes of creating a positive and intentional loving connection for the new year.

[Daily Holiday Gift: Day 1]
Misadventures of Holidays Past
Think back to past holiday seasons. The traditions, the gifts and celebrations, the perfect moments… AND the imperfect moments!
For this first day, let’s think of those misadventures. When the best intentions took a turn… maybe a turn into the weirdest gift, a burnt meal, a really not so great holiday picture, or maybe something even more outlandish! But it made a cherish memory for years after.
I bet those stand out more than any perfect moment ever could. They remind us that the moments will never be without faults and that is ok… because they are more genuine that way!
Find the joy, humor and love that live in these mishaps and share a moment with each other!

❤️

[A Daily Gift-Couples Holiday Challenge]
Something that I think comes up at least twice a week with my clients is just how challenging the holidays are… finding the perfect gifts, time for traditions and connecting, budgeting for all the gift buying, and any other pressure that comes along, for better or worse this time of year.
Of course.. this makes it easy to put yourself and your relationship at the bottom of the list, in order to get everything else done…
…well this won’t do!
So every day in December there will a small daily prompt or activity for you to do with your partner. Exchanging a “daily gift” of time, joy and connection with each other, even amid the chaos of the season.
Categories for these prompts will be holidays past, present, and future. Activities, relationship challenges and fun connection prompts. Above all, this is a great way to have a time out to enjoy one another.
Happiest Holidays!!

Today we take time to remember…
The babies born sleeping.
Those we carried but never held.
Those we held but could not take home.

[Repair vs Replace: Wisdom from a Flower]
Nature has a way of healing. It is not a necessarily a perfect process to the observer. Sometimes it is messy and parts get worse before they get better… but nature repairs it doesn’t just replace.
The flower in the picture is a real flower from my backyard. As with all flowers purchased in the spring, it had potential and was planted with all of the best intentions.
But as with life, the elements got to it and parts of it wilted, were eaten or damaged from the other critters in its environment. And it was struggling.
Plants have a very unique way of healing. They notice damage. They see that there is something harming a part of it. They do not avoid, self criticize or stop growing. They know that it is still a part of itself and they nurture the damage in order to repair and grow around the area of the trauma. All while pulling the parts that still have potential. The parts that are the essence of the roots of the character of the plant.
A caring gardener gently pulled this little flower and planted into a new space. A space with zero expectations other than to repair itself and to keep growing.
And now we have a blossom.
It still carries with it a part of the stem of the loss it had to grow from. But it is thriving.
Wisdom from a flower:
🌱Replacing removes the character and the essence of who you are at the roots.
🌱Giving too much of one’s self to the environment can harm you if you give too much of yourself to others that do not respect boundaries.
🌱 Even living with the best intentions can lead to hurt that you will need to work through to keep growing.
🌱 Finding helpful “gardeners” in your life can help you find a space where the only expectations are to heal and grow. They can also help nurture that journey.
🌱Turning toward the warmth of the sun and soaking in the rain are both necessary to repair.
🌱Lastly, grow with the reminders of the damages you endure because it shows that you are still you to the roots and have come a long way.
