Embracing The Hope
A Christmas and New Year's Reflection
As the holiday season envelops us in a warm and festive glow, it’s essential to acknowledge that not everyone experiences the joy and merriment typically associated with Christmas and New Year’s. For many, this time of year can amplify feelings of struggle, anger, hatred, failure, loneliness, and depression. In this blog, we’ll explore how to navigate the challenges that accompany the holidays and find solace in the promise of a new year—a fresh canvas upon which we can paint the picture of a brighter future.
Life is an unpredictable journey filled with challenges, and the holiday season can magnify the weight of our struggles. It’s important to recognize that you are not alone in facing difficulties. The first step toward healing is acknowledging your struggles and seeking support from loved ones, friends, or professionals.
The holidays may evoke memories or encounters that fuel anger and hatred. Instead of letting negativity consume you, consider channeling these emotions into positive outlets. Engage in activities that bring you peace, practice mindfulness, or seek therapy to address the root causes of these intense emotions.
We also experience failure and it is a natural part of life, but it doesn’t define us. Use this holiday season as an opportunity to reflect on your setbacks, learn from them, and embrace the possibility of growth. Remember, success often arises from the lessons learned in the face of failure.
There are times that we feel trapped in a cycle of unfulfilling work, especially during the holidays. Take this time to reassess your career goals, explore new opportunities, or acquire new skills. A fresh perspective may pave the way for a more satisfying and rewarding career.
Loneliness and depression can be especially challenging during the festive season. Reach out to friends, family, or support groups for connection. Volunteer your time to help others in need, as acts of kindness can lift your spirits and create a sense of purpose.
Despite the challenges, the New Year symbolizes a fresh start and the potential for positive change. Set realistic goals, prioritize self-care, and focus on what brings you joy. Consider creating a vision board to visualize your aspirations and motivate yourself for the year ahead.
This Christmas and New Year, let’s acknowledge the hardships and difficulties that may have clouded our lives. By facing our struggles head-on, seeking support, and embracing the promise of a new beginning, we can navigate through the negativity and move toward a brighter, more hopeful future. Remember, you have the strength within you to overcome challenges, and the dawn of a new year brings endless possibilities for growth and transformation.

Relationship Mentor and Shadow Expert
Doing healing work with Shauna in a constellation format is such a transformative experience. My constellation was focused on clearing my parental imprints. This modality of healing offered me the chance to see the subconscious energy I’ve been carrying from my family network. Not only could i see it and recognize it clearly, but it was tangible and i could interact with it. The session was deeply cathartic and very satisfying. We shed light on the family shadows and released them and cut the cords between me and them. The immediate relief I felt was profound. I was swimming in love and acceptance for me, my parents, and my ancestors. I was able to put even the heaviest of emotions and experiences into perspective and understand them. I just felt so grateful for the good and the bad. I am so looking forward to the long term benefits of what was accomplished. I can’t say enough about the quality of people Shauna attracts to assist in this work and the collective feeling they offer of being seen, celebrated, honored, and loved. It’s is something anyone would be lucky to experience. It is a truly unique and effective way to move forward and step into love and self acceptance.
