As the winter months settle in, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Between colder days, busy schedules, and the pressures of the holiday season, many of us focus on what’s still undone or what feels out of reach. But what if this winter, we shifted our perspective?

The holidays are over, but life hasn’t slowed down. It feels like the Christmas whirlwind has left behind more than memories—my house is still a toy-filled disaster, and my to-do list seems to grow every day.
