Merry Christmas Eve! (if you celebrate)
Today, I'll be celebrating a few cultural traditions - one of which will be the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This Italian festival of seafood delicious-ness has always been one of my favorite events.
Usually, I'm breaking with tradition, but this is the one time of the year that makes me nostalgic for the customs of my youth.
When someone asks me: "What's your self-care routine?" I have to refrain from answering, "Um... chocolate?"
At least that is my answer each time I fall off the self-care wagon. You see, I have a deep and insatiable love for all things chocolate. It can shift my mood - in a pinch.

How do you describe the problems you are facing?
I've noticed that the more I explain my "problems" without judging myself or others - the more open I am to new and creative solutions.
Solutions I may NEVER have noticed had I not changed my point of view.
Mastering the perspective-shift is a crucial part of conscious, non-punitive, non-permissive parenting.
