Here's to December...
Hello mamas! Not only have we made it more than half way through another week, we survived a snow day with our little (or big) ones. But then again, tis the season of survival, isn't it? With it getting darker earlier, the temperature dropping and the holidays approaching, December certainly tests our strength and fortitude, turning even the most mundane tasks into acts of courage for some mama bears. Even those among us who's optimism and faith are so strong it's as if they bring the sun wherever they go can struggle. The most wonderful season of all it is not. And yet, this difficult end to the year may bring us gifts that cannot be found under a tree. There is a spiritual concept called the dark night of the soul, a period of time in each of our lives, usually triggered by a traumatic event, loss or phase of life change, that brings about reflection and shines a light on our shadow, the dark parts of ourselves that we would never invite to Christmas dinner nevermind
