I love Christmas — it’s always been my favourite time of year. The lights, the memories, the anticipation… there’s a kind of magic that I still feel even now and so does my labradoodle Scout (his favourite place to sit is next to the Christmas tree!).

I’ve noticed how much I’ve still been letting the "shoulds" lead the way in my life. How old patterns that once kept me safe, are still sneaking in and quietly shaping my choices. I am still u
