We’ve had a year of surprises, learned resilience, and embraced the mindful practice of gratitude. I am eternally grateful for you – for what you’ve shared and taught me this year. I admire you intentionally holding it together and empowering your children, too, as you faced losses and disappointments. You are still you, an incredible person grounded in love and hope!

Have fun with these suggestions!
