Hello Everyone!

Susie Larson here...

And to those visiting, I say welcome!

I post every Wednesday, and my purpose is to nourish and encourage your soul along the way.

Since I've got a number of Christmas speaking events on my schedule, and since I've been prepping on and off for the past couple of weeks, my holiday season is in full swing.

I've had a significant amount of time to pause...and to think about my holidays this year. Do I want to run, racing from one event to another? Do I want to squeeze as many fun activities in as I can? Or do I want peace and solitude to mark my holidays this time around? We are all different, and we all need different things.

Looking back over the years I can clearly see that some of our most desperate struggles overlapped with the holiday season. I had in my mind how I wanted the season to look, but that 30 second commercial was an always elusive dream.

Thankfully I am much wiser and more mature (hmmm...) and I am not so interested in how things look. I am interested in how things are.
