Because Sharing Can Inspire Change
With the holidays quickly approaching, just thinking about the preparations can overwhelm us - family visits, getting dinner together, sleeping arrangements, decorations, drinking glasses, a new rug, new curtains, and maybe changing the shower curtain. Did everyone have a great time during last year’s festivities or were there some incidents that may still be in the air?
For some folks it’s the loneliness and depression, the memories of past holidays, family and friends who are now gone.
It’s easy to say, “enjoy the rush – it’s fun anxiety, look forward and not back.” For some of us it isn’t that simple, but we can use popular tools for managing stress with an extra bit of umph! Check it out.
SHOP THE BOUTIQUE ^
Order early for the holidays. Surprise a friend or loved one with a carry-all tote bag!
IN OUR CULTURA, hay un dicho que dice, "el que a buen árbol se arrima,
buena sombra le cobija."
Fall is a time for recharging, reflecting and enjoying nature. As we wrap up the chaos of the last two years, it's time to look forward to better days ahead.
“"If you have a dream, don’t let anybody take it away."
– Selena Quintanilla
