My dear, sweet, deep, introverted friends,⁠ ⁠

My dear, sweet, deep, introverted friends,⁠
⁠
The world will often tell you that you're not enough. Not loud enough, not bold enough, not adventurous enough. ⁠
⁠
The "world" for you may be a family member, a coworker, or social media. They may tell you that you need to step out of your comfort zone more, that you need to party more, drink more, smile more, let loose more. ⁠
⁠
And maybe sometimes you could stretch yourself a little and grow a little from it. Maybe you could, maybe you will. But here's the thing: if you give up parts of you to make someone else accept you, you are no longer fully YOU. ⁠
⁠
You see, you were created EXACTLY how you are. God knew the world needed one of you. Your intuition, creativity, and deep thinking abilities serve a vital part in society. We need you, just the way you are.⁠

It's FIVE weeks until Christmas. ⁠ ⁠ What feel

It's FIVE weeks until Christmas. ⁠
⁠
What feelings does that evoke in you? Christmas can be such an intense time. Many of us have an intensified feeling of pressure, often internally, to create "magic" or a "perfect" holiday for our families. ⁠
⁠
In the past few years I've grown to dread Christmas. I don't want to be a Grinch, but I've started feeling Grinch-y. Sometimes I just want to fly away to a beach in the Caribbean until it's all over.⁠
⁠
Let's be honest, every family has dysfunction. There are varying political opinions, religious opinions, and now the added pandemic opinions. There are polarizing views at nearly every table, and it simply brings its own layer of stress. ⁠
⁠
I still don't love big commercialized holidays. I'd rather pick our own way of celebrating life in random ways. Mid-week parties for no reason with people that mean everything to us. Giving gifts if/as we want to, in January or July or October. Avoiding the crowds and saving some sanity. ⁠
⁠
But I also have kids, and my daughter especially loves holidays. I want her to experience that too. We keep it pretty simple around here. We do a simple tree, a few simple gifts. We eat good food, play a few games, go sledding. This kind of holiday - I like it. It brings me closer to the Manger. Closer to the birth of Christ in the most humble of delivery rooms. Closer to love, simplicity, sacrifice, peace, joy.⁠
⁠
I just want more of this and less of all the rest. ⁠

I was 100% born in the wrong decade. ⁠
⁠
I love mid-century-modern design and pinup dresses, retro diners, rich colours, and the simple life before social media.⁠
⁠
My grandma Bronson died when I was 9, but she was SO COOL. She wore cat-eye glasses and owned a VW Beetle, driving us around in it when she probably shouldn't have anymore. Her death was my first experience in heart-wrenching grief.⁠
⁠
I also grew up with the coolest rotary-dial wall phone AND a party line. I may only be 40, but our community was late in upgrading. I loved to pick up the phone randomly and listen to our neighbours gossiping.⁠
⁠
So yeah, I would've been such a great 50s girl. But also? I love our modern conveniences and the connections we get to make with people around the globe. So maybe, I wasn't born in the wrong decade after all.⁠

Jamie Anderson said, “Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”⁠
⁠
I was discussing this with a friend recently, over lattes in a local coffee bar. Why is grief so painful? How can it punch you in the gut so hard, even years after a loss? It's been almost 18 months since I lost my friend Pauline and some days it still takes my breath away. I like to imagine it's just all that love that I want to funnel toward her, but it isn't finding a place to land. It hurts. And I'm honoured that I got to love a beautiful person so much that losing them hurts like this. It is a gift.⁠

In Flanders Fields⁠ by John McCrae⁠ ⁠ In Fla

In Flanders Fields⁠
by John McCrae⁠
⁠
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow⁠
Between the crosses, row on row,⁠
That mark our place; and in the sky⁠
The larks, still bravely singing, fly⁠
Scarce heard amid the guns below.⁠
⁠
We are the dead. Short days ago⁠
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,⁠
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,⁠
In Flanders fields.⁠
⁠
Take up our quarrel with the foe:⁠
To you from failing hands we throw⁠
The torch; be yours to hold it high.⁠
If ye break faith with us who die⁠
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow⁠
In Flanders fields.⁠
⁠
We will never forget. Thank you to our veterans for the sacrifices you've made for our country. We owe so much to you ❤️⁠
