Recapturing the Magic and Wonder

Last year, I found myself in the middle of the Christmas season... and I simply didn’t care.

Not because I'm a grinch, but because I was overwhelmed. When your nervous system is maxed out, you go numb. You can't feel the magic because you're too busy just trying to survive the season.

The Grinch couldn't feel Christmas until his nervous system calmed down enough to stop looking for threats. Only then could his heart grow three sizes. Only then could he feel connection, care, warmth.
