Here for you at every stage

As the holidays continue, many of us feel the pressure to make the holidays magical for everyone, which can easily wear on our ability to be present in those magical moments.

This season, try shifting your focus from perfect to present:
- Give yourself space to check in with how you're feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically
- Build small moments to recharge into your day
- Let go of expectations that get in the way of being present
- Choose connection over chaos

Remember that you are allowed to take up space, slow down, and care for yourself even during the holidays. Your peace is a part of the celebration.

It can be very easy to overdo it during the holiday season.
It is important to find ways to balance your commitments and refuel yourself in times of high demand.

Some things to keep in mind:
- Spend time with those who fill your cup ☕️
- Create a plan to recharge or exit an event when you know you’ve reached your limit of engagement
- Find activities that recharge you such as taking a moment outside, engaging in a mindful breathing exercise, listening to a song you enjoy, or petting a family pet 🎧🐾
- Only take on as much as you have the bandwidth for, including cooking, drive time, and spending limits

Being able to show up for others means taking care of yourself so you CAN show up for them.

🐾✨ Honoring Our Beloved Animals – October 27th ✨🐾

In Mexican tradition leading up to Día de Mu***os (Day of the Dead), each day holds a special meaning to remember and welcome the spirits of those who’ve passed.

Today, October 27th, is the day dedicated to the souls of our animal companions — the pets who filled our lives with unconditional love, laughter, and loyalty. 🕯️💛

It’s believed that on this day, their spirits return home to visit us. Families light candles, set out water, food, photos, and favorite toys on an ofrenda (altar) to honor them and guide them back with love.

At Mending Spirits, we carry the memory of every animal who has touched our hearts — those who have found homes, crossed the rainbow bridge, and those still waiting for their forever families. 🌈🐶🐱

Tonight, we light a candle for all the beautiful souls who remind us that love never truly leaves — it just changes form. 💫

Every day is different and we are all a little different every day.

Being capable doesn’t mean we have the same capacity everyday. Give yourself some space to breathe in your week.
