To Everyone During the Holidays,

I know that the holidays mean something different to everyone. Some people may find it brings back traditions with family members or loved ones alike. However, others, may struggle to find the joy during the season.

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I often get to spend time with my family and enjoy the moment. There is time to look outside at the scenery, watch everyone open gifts, sip coffee, and just relax. This is the time where I feel most comfortable and at ease.

I hope that, whatever holiday you celebrate or if none at all, you also feel that moment in which you just breathe. The year itself is nearly done, so may there be a time for you to be around lots of joy and positive energy. Maybe it's drinking hot chocolate or perhaps it's watching your favorite movie. Whatever it is, I wish more happiness to you and your family, friends, and other loved ones.

While this season is about being cheerful, I want to take the time to acknowledge those out there who are having a hard time. It could be financial, spiritual, physical, or emotional, that has effected how you view the holidays. There were things that happened to make your soul feel heavy with negative emotions, too many you can think of, but I just want to provide comfort during this time.

I've said a version of this before within my writings, but I believe it to be true: you deserve to be happy. No matter what it is that brings this happiness, I hope it blossoms tenfold for you, especially for the next year. I know you feel like you just can't get out of the dark times, but you can. Once more, I know that what I say can't magically change how you feel, but I hope you know that wherever you are and whoever you are, understand: you are valued. Always. I am sending love and light of positivity to you, and I deeply hope it cultivates into happiness for your spirit and who you are.

Overcome, breathe, love, and live in much happiness.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Wholeheartedly,

Jessica
