The holidays bring out a lot in us.
There’s the beauty and the connection… and then there’s the pressure.
The pressure to give the right gifts.
To make everything meaningful.
To stretch a budget that’s already tight.
To show up for everyone, often at the expense of ourselves.
If your chest tightens just thinking about it — you’re not alone.
But here’s what I want you to remember, especially this time of year:
You are whole, perfect, and complete — exactly as you are.
None of the holiday madness changes that.
And nothing about your worth is tied to whether you pull off the “perfect” season.
Underneath the noise of December, you’re still the same eternal being you’ve always been.
A spiritual being having this temporary physical experience — not the other way around.
And because of that, you can trust yourself in ways the mind forgets.
I’ve said this for years, and I’ll say it again here:
You are a divine being connected to all that is, and ultimately you always know what is right for you — so trust yourself.
That includes the little things, like gift-giving.
People get so stressed about choosing the “right” thing, but honestly?
You don’t have to force meaning.
The right gift always shows up.
You’ll see something and someone will pop into your mind — instantly, effortlessly.
That’s the nudge.
That’s the alignment.
That’s the truth inside you speaking clearly.
Gift-giving isn’t about pressure.
It’s about recognition.
It’s about the moment you look at something and simply know who it belongs to.
And speaking of knowing… I want to offer a subtle companion for the season.
✨ Labradorite: A Little Magic for Your Energy Well ✨
Labradorite is known as the stone of magic — which makes it a beautiful fit for this time of year.
But what I love most about it is its protection. Not walls. Not barriers. Protection of the well that is your energy.
The holidays ask us to give a lot.
Emotionally, mentally, energetically.
And often, the people who cling the hardest aren’t “bad” or draining on purpose — they’re just hungry.
Hungry for connection, for attention, for someone to see them.
Labradorite helps you give without losing yourself in the giving.
It keeps your field intact so you can show up with love, generosity, and presence…
without becoming depleted
and without absorbing the needs of others as your own.
It doesn’t shut you down.
It simply keeps you centered — which is the most beautiful form of protection there is.
If the holidays feel heavy this year, let this be your reminder:
You are divine.
You are guided.
You are connected.
And you can trust yourself — deeply, fully, completely.
Everything you need is already within you.
Everything meant for you will always find you.
With love,
Vero 🤍
