I hope this Christmas brought you the peace, joy, and love we crave so deeply this season. Ours was a quiet one – together at home, just the three of us. Part of that is cozy and calm for two introverted homebodies 😆, but the other part gets a little sad and lonely missing the family members who live so vividly in memories of Christmases past. I’m working on not comparing now to then, and instead taking today for exactly what it is, and celebrating it in all the ways it/ we deserve. So let’s celebrate now with a Scrolls packed with my favorite finds of the week (SO many!), an anti-inflammatory kickstart, and the book you NEED to read! Merry Christmas, kind friend!
Making.
And our family favorite treat of the week – these vegan candies were next level good!
Reading.
I’m still speechless about this one. The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a powerful, heart-wrenching, hopeful, heavenly gift of a book. The golden nuggets of wisdom are subtle as you devour each page, and continue to seep in, and take root long after you finish. If you’ve been feeling “off”, lost, lonely, or just in need of a shift in perspective – please grab a copy for yourself, and send one to someone you love.
10/10 ⭐️

Watching.
If you’re hoping to stay in the Christmas spirit just a little longer, Grey was enamored with this movie, and it’s one the whole family will love.
Listening.
This episode is only 2 minutes long, so if you have an extra 2 – it’s worth a quick listen. If not, I’ll sum up my favorite takeaways for you:
- Get in the habit of waking up each and every day and saying THANK YOU.
- Because this helps your day start in a positive, grateful way – it also shows you the power of consistency – and attention + intention + gratitude = the equation to change your life.
Feeling.
Trying.

I can't remember a Christmas where we didn't take the tree down day-of 😳. I know. Every time I share that, I take a lot of heat 😅. It's mostly the mess of the wrapping paper and presents not having a "home" in the house yet - that nagging feeling like we need to restore order again after being re-arranged and bedazzled since before Thanksgiving. But this year - the decorations are still up! A record for us. How about you? Will you take it all down this weekend, or leave it up another week? Sending you a hug filled with calm, healing, loving energy to take into tomorrow! We're so thankful for you!
