Traditions and Transitions.
Something we all have to face and deal with is traditions - do we keep them? Do we adjust?
How were they created and how do they feel?
Something I have learned about myself when it comes to creating and transitioning change is that I bring the creativity 💫.
This Christmas I was very aware of the change in our family dynamics- a wedding last February has expanded our family and the logistics of time and location for holiday celebrations.
I wanted to celebrate the addition and create something new while cherishing the past and foundation formed.
This holiday season I gifted something unique to each of my children ~ a hand painted ornament that I feel represents many of the special qualities of each one. The new tradition going forward will be they each come to my home and hang their ornament on my tree - and as our family continues to grow we shall add…like branches to our roots.
This really did help me shift my focus to looking forward rather than focussing on the past.
You see, we can create this beautiful space where we honor what was, be in the moment and look forward for what will be.
This was my goal for the holiday season and as I sit here this evening admiring the twinkle lights of my tree my heart is full ❤️.
Change is inevitable ~ how we transition is extremely individual.
