How do we feel connected and close during the holidays while maintaining our own Inner state of peace?

Here are a couple Reminders:
1. You cannot change other people, Period!
The truth is other people only change when they are ready to change for themselves. The more that you try to to change someone the more they will stay the same creating more tension in the relationship.

2. Emotional immaturity is in everybody. Yes, even adults throw Tantrums. Most importantly, learn what things you can control about You that may create a shift in the dynamic or relationship.

This is where the let them Theory by Mel Robbins is a very powerful tool. The more control you give up the more you gain. Learn to let people be who they are. Let them have their thoughts, opinions, behaviors, expectations, etc. Because the more you let them be who they are the better your life gets.

Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of the process.

One of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make is asking: “What did I learn?” instead of “Why did I fail?”

Setbacks aren’t failures. They’re feedback. Each attempt teaches us something new—what didn’t work, what to adjust, and how to try again with more insight and resilience.

Life works a lot like a video game: you don’t quit after falling into the same pit—you learn, adapt, and press restart. Over time, those lessons build confidence, perseverance, and growth.

When we normalize failure as part of learning, we change the narrative—and the emotional impact—around it. Growth happens when we allow ourselves to try again, smarter and stronger.

Inspired by The Super Mario Effect by Mark Rober

Love is the bridge that spans differences, connecting hearts with the sturdy pillars of acceptance.

LOVE IS...the bridge between you and everything, every relationship or experience.

Remember we growth through what we go through. ❤️

Be the kind of person people tell stories about years later.

You walk in a room and the energy shifts. You laugh and it sounds like home. You care in a way that makes people believe in good again. You are not just kind when it's convenient. You are kind to everyone. You are the Rare kind of strong that is Soft and Strong. ✨️🩷

You are BEAUTIFUL! You are Loveable! Thank you for being You!

There is no courage without vulnerability.

It can feel deeply uncomfortable to be with someone who truly sees you, knows you, and loves you—especially when you haven’t yet learned to truly see and love yourself.
If we don’t do our inner work, we often don’t recognize these people when they show up. In fact, we might even run in the opposite direction, toward situations that help us avoid vulnerability and stay hidden behind our armor.

Shame, fear, and perfectionism can quietly control your life. But learning to unlock courage, confidence, trust, connection, and joy opens the door to a more authentic and vulnerable life.

Thank you for the research, and teaching improving lives and relationships everywhere.

The longer you stay on the wrong train. The more expensive it is to get back home.

Do not be scared of the pivot because it becomes the platform that creates the next moment of your purpose. The longer you stay where you are, the scary it is to make a move.

Vulnerability is saying your Truth in spite of the Consequences...especially when the Consequences are Scary.

Research shows people spend the majority of their time in a state of readiness. Always ready for whatever is going to take place, so the hormones that create a primitive mechanism for a state of survival are engaged.

The stronger the emotion you feel towards that event in your life, the more altered you feel from that experience. The brain freezes a frame and takes a snapshot creating long-term memory. People think about the problems that happened in the past and they produce the same chemistry, releasing the same hormones conditioning the body to respond in same conditioned state. Now the trauma or betrayal is not just in the brain, it's in the body. In a sense, the body gets conditioned to stay in a state of survival.

When you're in survival, it's not a time to be vulnerable. It's not a time to open your heart. To be able to change the state of readiness we must learn to convert from the sympathetic nervous system to parasympathetic nervous system.

The heart in a calm state can send a message to the brain and get in a harmonious exchange of creating. This is a commitment to a daily practice. If you want to embrace vulnerability, you Can Develop a Practice to start your Journey.

While this is just an introduction, remain Hopeful of the changes you can make in your life!

All That We Are Not
Discernment is a process of letting go of what we are not.
-Father Thomas Keating

One can easily over identify with emotions and roles, becoming what they feel:
I am angry... I am depressed... I am divorced... I am a failure... I am nothing but my confusion and my sadness...

No matter how we feel in any one moment, we are not just our feelings, our roles, our traumas, our perception of values, or our obligations or ambitions. It is so easy to define ourselves by the moment of struggle we are wrestling with. It is a very human way, to be consumed by what moves through us.

In contrast, think of how Michelangelo sculpted, how he saw the sculpture waiting, already complete, in the uncut stone. He would often say that his job was to carve away the excess, freeing the thing of beauty just waiting to be released.

It helps to think of spiritual discernment in this way. Facing ourselves, uncovering the meaning in our hard experiences, the entire work of Consciousness speaks to a process by which we sculpt away the excess, all that we are not, finding and releasing the gesture of Soul that is already waiting, complete, within us. Self-actualization is the process applied to our life on earth. The many ways we suffer, both inwardly and outwardly, are the chisels of God freeing the thing of beauty that we have carried within since birth.

~Adapted from the Little Book of Awakening

If we are fighting the truth in relationships we are fighting a losing battle. There is no truth in relationship. There are only two people having their own experiences and as long as we're fighting for truth, both are going to lose because the truth doesn't actually exist.

If we think we have to agree, then again we're fighting for someone's truth to be right or wrong.
What do we really want to accomplish?
Each person just wants their perspective to be heard, seen, and validated. The way to accomplish this...one person has to speak at a time.

✨ Let It Flow ✨

Things that matter come and go.
But when we feel touched by life — when it really moves us — we tend to cling, not wanting anything to change.

Of course, it always does.

Sometimes we chase what we think we want, trying to shape and control the flow of life… and that fails, too.

Life keeps moving.
We can’t stop it.

What’s left is the feeling — what was, what is — and the space between them we call loss.

But the more we cling, the harder it gets.
And when new things come, some of us already brace for the loss… so we stop feeling at all.

I’ve done all of that.
But when I’m open enough, clear enough — I try to let life in.
To let it touch me.
To let it move through.

Because maybe that’s what it means to really live:
to let it flow. 🌊💞
