A free guide to help navigate the holidays.
The holiday season can be a complex time of year. We welcome our joyful and meaningful traditions, but our spirits may wilt under the bombardment of advertisements, the abundance of sugar and carbs, and multiple invitations for pageants and social gatherings.

As we head into this holiday season, we offer you the following reflection and journal prompts to help you carve out time for yourself in the coming weeks. Fill out the form to get this free download.
