Hey there, friend!

When is the last time you planned for yourself? With the holidays quickly approaching, it is easy for us to get swept away in all the tinsel and to-do-lists until we find ourselves washed up in the new year wondering where the time went. The holidays can often feel like sand in an hourglass. There is a pressure to squeeze in merry moments, shopping, and attend several end of the year events that leave us relying on caffeine to get us through the following day packed full of cheer.

Before you find yourself wrapped up in the whirlwind of the holiday season, I invite you this week to be purposeful in planning for yourself. Before your schedule fills us this week, mark out some undistracted planning time. During this time, ask yourself what makes the holiday season special to you. Write your thoughts down and schedule as many of those things that are important to you on your calendar. Send out text invites to those who might need invited and make a promise to yourself to keep the plans you have made- they are now holiday non-negotiables.

Cheers to making YOU a priority this holiday season!
