There is perhaps no other time of year in which the pleasure and pain of our memories are front and center—in which we experience such ambivalence about our own sense of joy. Gifts fill beneath the tree and light shines from the windows of our homes, but many of our hearts feel empty, our worlds dark.
As we celebrate the holidays, we also remember all that we've lost. We remember those around the world that suffer, and are struck by the contrast between the season and the reality of our world today. As we try to find balance between joy and pain this holiday season, know that there are others who understand and empathize—you are not alone. And in acknowledging the complexity in ourselves we are able to have compassion for one another.

Too many people wait until they're exhausted or depressed to make change or seek help.
Mental health isn't something to put on the back burner. We can't keep good habits in storage until we need them.
Mental hygiene should be as ingrained in our daily routine as dental hygiene.
From 15 yrs studying the science of happiness, this is my conclusion:
We are happiest when we give to others, when we care, share and have compassion. When we live our life for a greater purpose, and when care for others is balanced with self-care.

Just found some memories from “that” life. It was me. OMG, how many lives ago.
I was drinking coffee with a friend of mine. We were discussing a book & plans for 2022.
Something went wrong. The war has started.

The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care.
Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress.
The people you want in your corner are the ones who celebrate your growth.
