Quotes to ponder:

"Creating a simplicity-inspired holiday roadmap will give you the freedom and resilience to trade holiday stress and anxiety for more love, peace, comfort and joy."

"Ask yourself, 'Does this fill my heart or empty it?' Give yourself permission to engage in the holidays in ways that fill your heart and soul."

"We find meaning in the holidays and all of our days when we create space to listen to our hearts, time to believe in magic, and the love, health and presence to show all the way up for our lives."
