Christmas is a difficult time for many people in our communities. . . It's a time of year where our emotions are heightened, and many of us are feeling a bit frayed around the edges, after a crazy 12 months at work. . . For many others, however, Christmas can be especially tough - particularly when it holds a lot of negative emotions due to past trauma, relationship breakdowns, or toxic family members. . . I know for most of my life, Christmas has always been hard for me. It's only in recent years that I've learned how to start loving it again. . . So this Christmas, if you're looking for something special to give a loved one who has had a bit of a tough year, why not gift them something more meaningful than chocolates or socks n' jocks? . . 'Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day' contains 10 uplifting stories from everyday people around the world who've found a way through trauma or adversity - including relationship breakdowns, eating disorders, PTSD, the loss of a child, mental illness, cancer, and much more... . . Both books are filled with relatable stories of hope and courage, and make the perfect gift for anyone who is looking to start 2020 inspired to live life to the fullest. . .

"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again." - Abraham Maslow 🌱🌱🌱 . This little quote resonates with me so much, because - like most people - I often struggle with fear around failure, and that means it usually feels safer to stay in whatever spot feels most familiar and comfortable. . . Even if that means not growing. . . Then, earlier this week, I was talking to a brave woman who had signed up for my ‘write to inspire’ course next year. . . She was feeling scared of taking the next step...of stepping forward, owning her journey, and sharing it with the world. . . But despite the fear, she stepped forward. She said YES to herself and her story, and stepping out of her comfort zone. . . It reminded me that even though it’s normal to feel scared of going after a dream, it’s important. . . Sure - it ain’t easy; but nothing exciting ever comes from staying inside our comfort zones. . . Adventure, soul-fulfillment, inner growth, and opportunity all come from taking a step of faith. . . I can’t wait for 2020... I know there will be hard moments. I know - just like some of my clients - I’ll be challenged with stepping forward. . . But one day at a time, one step at a time, we’ll do it. 💪🏼 . . PS.
