A personal reflection on a spontaneous family snow day, where the author experiences simple, pure joy with her family, which is immediately followed by a quiet, familiar ache of grief for family members in heaven. The story concludes with the lesson that joy and grief are not competing emotions, but rather they coexist—both being expressions of deep love—and that one does not cancel out the other.
This Christmas, slow down and embrace the simple moments. Join me as I reflect on faith, family, and making memories that last a lifetime, all while celebrating the true reason for the season—Jesus.
Leading with Gratitude is an unexpected strength for leaders. Join us in 7 Days of Gratitude as we prepare for the holiday season.
A leader running on empty can’t spark hope in others. Protect your energy, honor your boundaries, and lead from a place of strength—not exhaustion.
