Holidays are thought to be the happiest time of the year!

Families gather together.

Gifts are exchanged.

And most people take a short break from their every day routines to share a festive meal with their loved ones!

I do wish this were true for each and every one of us.

After losing my father to cancer 3 days before Thanksgiving in 1984 and my mother to long term illness, a week before Christmas in 1995 ~ the world changed for my siblings and me.

The years of childhood memories around all the fun and tradition we shared during the holidays became painful, rather than joyous.

Enjoyment and celebration is bittersweet when I think about how much my Mom or Dad would have enjoyed one thing or another.

And now there are too many people who face the same challenges since COVID claimed family members, all over the world, in record numbers.

Usually I stay on line on Christmas to help ease the hearts of those I connect with.

But this year I feel inspired to open up several sessions, at a greatly discounted rate, for Holiday stress relief made simple. I’m hoping to help folks soothe some of their pain and stress even after Christmas so we can enjoy the celebrations and include our loved ones in a slightly different way.
