Hopefully if you stumble upon this episode for some encouragement, you will find what you are looking for. ~C)

A pivot point between the end of the holiday season and the start of another calendar year, the principles of Kwanzaa are appropriate all the time, and the act of understanding them can be its own source of uplifting and enlightenment.

Happy New Year! Thanks for being here, always,

What happens to the unsold Christmas trees that don’t get to fulfill their holiday purpose?

And what happens to yours after it has?

People are attempting to make sure they can still be beneficial, and you can too.

Thanks for being here!

I know the title sounds indelicate, but bear with me!

We’ve reached that last week of the year where it can be tough to get work done. But should people be working at all?

Thanks so much for being here. I hope you can find extra time for rest,

Merry Christmas!

A shorter episode for the holiday, perhaps to turn on while you’re driving across town to see a relative, wrapping a last few presents, or making preparations for hosting.

Even if you aren’t actively celebrating Christmas this year, you can still enjoy this episode.

Thanks so much for being here. Wishing you softness and warmth today,
