I wish you peace, joy, love, and patience as we are once again faced with a very difficult holiday season. A few lines from Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper struck me as deeply true.

Last night, a dear friend said to me, “I wish I’d known that the goal in life was to get to a place where all the people around your table are real and true friends. I wish I’d known that what I really wanted from life wasn’t fancy stuff, but a small, intimate group of people who I knew loved me and who made me feel safe, seen, and loved.”

I felt this sentiment very acutely this year when working closely with clients who are focused on authentic, healthy communication. On a personal note, I am very grateful to our health system who supported us through my husband’s hip replacement recently. We have been surrounded by caring loved ones who have overwhelmed us with offers of help and support. So, it is with gratitude and a spirit of finding joy in all the small moments, that I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
