It is so true. Holidays can be extremely stressful whether you are traveling, going to someone’s home for festivities, or just enjoying it at home. It seems like everyone is in a rush, on the road, in the stores, etc. We need to sometimes just take a good deep breath and remember what this Holiday means. It is a Holiday of LOVE , of giving and sharing, and creating memories. ❤️

When the holiday stress hits, try 4-7-8 breathing. Breathing is an essential act that requires no thought. But thinking about it can alter your physical and mental health. It can relieve stress and anxiety or help you wind down and fall asleep. Here’s how to do it:

I have met so many people in my career and it is so incredibly true. Those that are beautiful inside which is demostrated through their acts of kindness and love just seem to glow from within. They are truly beautiful souls and I always feel privileged to just listen to the stories of what drives them to stay grounded in this world and allows them to look past the negativity that surround us. Please think of what makes you beautiful inside and let that project to your outer being! You will be amazed at how wonderful your life can be.🥰

I ask that everyone please pray for Jamaica at this time. They will be facing a catastrophic hurricane in the next few days . My heart goes out to the families in Jamaica and their loved ones here in the U.S. I can’t imagine the incredible fear that they may be feeling. Please pray for our Lord to give them protection, strength, and hope. 🙏🏼

I am so deeply heartbroken today. A young man who loved God has been taken from this world in the most brutal and hateful way. May God provide comfort to all those impacted. We are all God loving Americans and I still believe that there is good in this world. Prayers for Healing!🙏🏼🙏🏼

I love guac especially home made and my heart loves it too!!🥰

Avocados are more than just a trendy toast topping, they’re packed with nutrients that support a healthy heart, according to the American Heart Association.

✅ Monounsaturated Fats – Help lower bad cholesterol
✅ Potassium – More than bananas! Helps regulate blood pressure
✅ Fiber – Supports healthy weight and cholesterol levels
✅ Antioxidants – Vitamin E & C fight inflammation
✅ Folate & Vitamin K – Keep blood vessels strong

Research-backed benefits:
🔹 Daily avocado eaters saw better sleep, improved cholesterol, and healthier diets
🔹 Weekly avocado intake linked to a 16–21% lower risk of heart disease
🔹 Replacing butter or processed meats with avocado = major heart health gains

💤 Bonus: Avocados may even help you sleep better — a key part of the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8™ for cardiovascular health.

So go ahead, enjoy that guac or avocado toast. Your heart will thank you! 💚
