[My Christmas present to myself… a fresh new pack of post-its, and my favorite pens]

It’s funny, you would think I’d feel lonely waking up to Christmas morn all by myself in my house… but I don’t at all. For me, to have had the last couple of weeks in constant commotion and busyness, waking up to peace and quiet in the epicenter of Downtown Toronto feels incredible. No one is drilling concrete, nobody is driving outside, it is complete silence and gratitude.

I got up and made myself some tea, my last piece of toast, and began to write the Christmas cards I haven’t had a chance to get to this entire time. It made me reflect on the memories I had with these people and how much they’ve influenced my life to make me who I am today. Despite the distance and time, despite waking up alone on a day that’s meant to be celebrated with your most loved, I felt their presence and appreciated it more than sometimes when I’ve actually physically have been with them.

I’m projecting into the universe my most powerful and positive thoughts to all of You, no matter where you are. Appreciate what you’ve got, know you are blessed, and Love Yourself. Love Yourself UNCONDITIONALLY.

I’ve spoken my piece.

Peace
