It is December 28th—that strange gap between Christmas and New Year. Let me ask you a question: How many times have you looked at your phone already today?.


It is easy to open an app and see the "highlight reel" of everyone else's life—the matching pajamas, the immaculate tables, and those perfect smiles. This constant scrolling creates a trap of comparison, making you feel like your holiday wasn't enough or that you didn't do enoug...

It is December 21st—the Winter Solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. While nature invites us into deep stillness and rest during this time, our modern world pushes us to do the exact opposite.
