Holiday Priorities Recalibrated

In the holiday rush, it’s important to tune inward to what really matters to you.

This week, I mailed out gifts family who I have not seen in years. I found myself sad and a little triggered.

I don’t mind the effort and cost of gifts. I like showing I care this way. But I felt empty about it.

I sat with that feeling, waiting for what was behind it to emerge.

I was careful not to lean into angry stories that wanted to spout their righteousness (thank you therapy).  

I realized that I don’t even know these kids who I am gifting. I don’t know if they will like what I sent or be able to put a face to who gave it to them.

I am craving connection time to know them better.

So I called my cousin and let her know that I would like to change our tradition up a bit. 

I don’t want gifts, I want time with my family. Currently, I don’t have the bandwidth to fly out and spend vacation with them, but we have the magic of the internet. 

I shared my feelings and asked if we can have a holiday video chat during the break.

She was naturally understanding. So many of us know that the gifts take too much spotlight these days during what is supposed to be a season about love.

I hope this story helps you feel centered in checking in on the kind of experiences you want to have with others this holiday season.

Mercury Retrograde ends Sunday, and this weekend is a good time to go inward and consider what support and changes you need to ask others for. Next week, as the planet goes direct, reach out with kind words to make your requests.

If you find that you are desiring more depth of understanding in your relationships, it’s a powerful thing to listen in on each other’s tarot readings in a Tarot Together session. 

Aligning with your own wisdom to hear the best answers from your higher spirit is an art in itself, hone your skills in an intuition coaching session.

This season that heads into the longest night is a great time for introspection on a deeper level, which a personal tarot reading offers.

Mercury Retrograde ending on Sunday is also the final day of the discount codes of RETRO24 for you and RETROGIFT for gift certifcates. Treat your family and yourself to experiences over stuff this year.

Having a reader come to your party creates deeper conversations for the guests. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides skilled divination artists that add magic into any gathering. Bring powerful insights to your New Year’s Eve event this year.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and feel fulfilled in your holiday season, even with the rush.
