I have many fond memories of Christmas as a child. I was blessed with amazing parents who made sure I had those childhood moments to reflect on now. What I wouldn’t give to have them with me now. Aside from the warm and festive decorations and generous gifts, there was laughter, hugs and smiles. Mostly there was just love.
It breaks my heart to think this is not the memory of the holidays for everyone. We live in a time of discord, poverty, homelessness, and illness all over the world.
At this time of year (and all through it), I want to remember those who are less fortunate, and celebrate those who give and share love selflessly.
If you are lonely, sad, bereaved or unwell, (or know someone who is), know there is help and hope.

If you are blessed; be a little kinder, give a smile, spare a dime, be patient and humble.
Remember peace and love are the best gifts. Share where you can, be safe, reflect, and be grateful.
Beautiful and bountiful blessings!
