Day 5: How you doin'?

A pinch and a punch 👊 for the first day of the month! December 2022 is officially here. Whether you're relieved or gatvol, or happy or  sad, or mad or glad, today marks the first day of the last month of the year...

So how are YOU? How YOU doin' (in the Joey-from-Friends voice)? How are you coping? Really. As in for reals? How often do you meet a friend or colleague or acquaintance or even a family member or someone in your inner circle with whom you feel fully comfortable to share how you REALLY are?!?

So often these days, we brush over the generic greetings and salutations of the standard "Hi", "How are you?", "I'm fine" schpeel that it's rare for us to even acknowledge how we're really and truly doing.

So today, I'm saying to you... that mom that is just utterly and overwhelming exhausted, or that person who is truly just counting down the hours to the end of the year or that student that just has this one last week of exams left or anyone and everyone else out there that is just about keeping head above water... and even more to those that somehow still seem to be fit, strong and ready for all that comes your way (and is most likely carrying everyone else around you that is just DONE!).. I see YOU 👀 😏... This is your reminder to just take a moment. A breather and some time to just check in with yourself... 

There's one month left to go. You can do it. And even if you think you can't, I'm here to remind you that there is indeed and always will be HOPE 🌞🤍🙏✨🌻 It's in the darkest skies that we see the brightest skies.. hou kop and be kind and gentle to yourself and all those around you.

Much love, light and HOPE always, Poonam
