Hello! December is here tomorrow…wow! Where did November go?! It will soon be Christmas!! If you are looking for any personal gift ideas, please consider attending at one of the local markets that my friend, Steve Coleman and his partner Heather, will be at.

He also has a number of mental health resources and books, which make a perfect gift for someone who you know is struggling/ has struggled with mental health challenges and/or their family members, who are their support persons. There’s also a neat selection of teas and tea cups and several other very beautiful gift ideas. See photos. Steve’s locations for December are as follows:

When you meet someone and they show you the beauty of their heart, let them know that you see the beauty of their soul. These are the people that make beautiful soulmates. ❤️

Sounds promising. However, for those who have dealt with Trauma, particularly complex / recurring trauma and are still exposed to those triggers of trauma, I believe need to spend their energy on healing first and foremost, before investing any time, money and energy on other peoples’ promises of success of healing “procrastination”. Procrastination can be a barrier because it revisits Trauma for some of the things that you’re trying to consciously or unconsciously avoid. You need to invest your time and energy on working through those triggers/ painful memories of your past in order to heal and move forward with your life. It’s a Catch-22 situation, but one worth exploring I think, nonetheless. ❤️🫂
