One way I relieve stress is to draw or paint with my kids after work. (A painting of "my brain" graces the fridge right now. It looks lovely in glitter.) Instead of buying advent calendars and fighting over chocolate my kids and I draw a picture each evening of December. We staple the photos together and put the calendar facing out in the window for others to admire. Then we each have a chocolate chip. I loved pulling out last year's calendar to see how our drawings have grown up in a year. Happy Holidays Jen and everyone at the Comfort Cafe!

The last two days have left me swirling. And that's even after deciding not to decorate for the holidays this year! To imagine--again! and again!--that peace is just a moment away. I have no excuse, now, to let myself muck around in excess action. Wow! Suzie Thanks Jen and Char for helping me stop myself in my tracks. The last two days have left me swirling. And that’s even after deciding not to decorate for the holidays this year! To imagine–again! and again!–that peace is just a moment away. I have no excuse, now, to let myself muck around in excess action.
Wow!

You model self kindness and self questioning with gentleness so beautifully. I am honored that my questions were helpful to you and you were able to drop your stories of "where energy comes from" and all of the other things you know about yourself - and find out where in your body you really feel what's true for you. You are amazing at tracking things back through your body Jen - that's a real strength of yours. Then, that you could translate that into possible actions you could take that might create more ease in your life - nothing short of miraculous in my opinion. And that pretty much sums up my learnings from you that occur on a continuous basis - nothing short of miraculous. Thank you again for this - ya made my day!!! Love Love Love!!! Jen:
