Taking Time

Dear Friends,

This time of year always gets a little crazy, right?  So many extra tasks to navigate, extra gatherings to navigate, extra emotions to navigate…all while the weather is getting colder and harder itself to navigate.

Sometimes it feels near impossible to slow down, to breathe, to savor and enjoy moments in our days and weeks.

Sometimes we don’t want to slow down, to breathe, to sit in the emotions that might crop up during this season and this time.

Sometimes those spaces of slow hurt, they don’t feel so good.

I wonder how it might feel if we intentionally took time to slow down, to move a little more purposefully, to do less in this time when it feels like we need to do more.  I wonder how it might feel to breathe into those spaces that might feel a little less comfortable.  I wonder how it might feel to meet ourselves and those around us where we’re at, instead of where we want, or expect ourselves or others to be?

My dear friends, whether you are navigating a season that feels a little too fast and full, or emotions that feel a little too big, I hope you can treat yourself and those around you tenderly and with love, and give yourself a little more space to slow down.

Have an amazing week, my friends.

Love
Krista
