PS For anyone who may be having Christmas on your own, remember, you are never truly alone. You are always loved. We don't always know the special place we have in someone's heart, but I guarantee, there are those who are thinking about you with love at this very moment. 💓 Whether this love is from someone here or in spirit, you are valued and the world is a better place for having you in it.

And if you are sharing your Christmas with your pets, the love you are receiving and sharing is more than enough love to provide you with everything needed to enjoy a very special and wonderful Christmas. 💓

"I am so very grateful this very moment to have a roof over my head, food to eat, clean clothes to wear, a warm bed to sleep in, drinkable running water, electricity...We take so much for granted when there is so much to be grateful for."

Fascinating contemporary music and video that explores spirituality...

I only discovered "Monument" by Royksopp & Robyn by chance. This song is full of spiritual imagery, astral travelling, passing over, and Merkaba spiritual breathing shapes.

If you're a giver, setting boundaries is imperative...

If you're a giver, it is important to set healthy boundaries, boundaries associated with how much you give to others and to whom you lavish your time and energy. Takers will never learn to give if you give endlessly, giving until you have nothing left for yourself, and giving to those who do not appreciate what you give them. You deserve respect and appreciation, don't be afraid to ask for what YOU need so you can keep on giving.

Stress Relieving Breathing Exercises

"It's not weak to say, "I'm not OK, and I need help".

On the contrary, it is brave.

It is courageous. And in the end, it could save your life."

No matter what...

"No matter what you do, someone will always talk about you. Someone will always question your judgement. Someone will always doubt you. So just smile and make choices you can live with."
