The holiday season brings so much beauty—twinkling lights, favorite songs, reunions, and rituals. Yet for many of us, it also brings noise, stress, and a quiet longing for peace. Between busy schedules, expectations, and tender emotions, December can feel like a swirl of both joy and exhaustion.

Stillness is not something we wait for. It’s something we create, a sacred pause we enter intentionally, even for just a few breaths at a time.
