Hey, Momma.
How are you today?
As the holiday season unfolds, it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect on the blessings that have enriched our lives throughout the year.
In this season of gratitude, I contemplate the many things I am thankful for.
Join me on this journey of reflection as we explore the elements that fill my heart with gratitude this Christmas.
1. Health and Well-being:
- At the forefront of my gratitude list is the gift of health. This year, I am incredibly grateful for the well-being of myself and my loved ones. In a world that faced unprecedented challenges, the blessing of good health has been a constant source of comfort.
2. Unwavering Support System:
- This Christmas, I am thankful for the unwavering support system that surrounds me. From family, friends, and mentors, their presence has been a beacon of strength, offering solace during both joyful and challenging times.
3. Cherished Relationships:
- The richness of life lies in the relationships we cultivate, and this Christmas, I am grateful for the love and companionship that fills my days. The laughter shared, the shoulders leaned on, and the connections forged – each relationship is a precious gift.
4. Professional Growth:
- As I reflect on the professional aspects of my life, I am thankful for the opportunities for growth and learning that have come my way. My challenges have been stepping stones to personal and career development, and I am grateful for the journey they’ve paved.
- After 17 years of being a hairstylist, I am now venturing on a new journey to become a meditation and mindfulness teacher for moms and children. Honestly, I am so excited and can’t wait to share this new journey with you in 2024.

7. Personal Development:
- Reflecting on the past year, I am grateful for the opportunities for personal development. The challenges I faced were not obstacles but rather invitations to discover my resilience, strength, and capacity for growth.
- One of my biggest and proudest personal development is learning to be consistent. This has been a struggle because I gave up halfway through many of my projects and goals. I realized consistency is not always about showing up 100% every day. Some days, you will feel like giving up; other days, you are inspired and motivated. Life happens, and so you roll with it.
8. Moments of Serenity:
- In a world that often moves rapidly, I cherish the moments of serenity and peace that have graced my life. Whether found in a quiet morning, a scenic view, or the warmth of a cozy corner, these moments are a reminder of the beauty in simplicity. This is my place of peace and tranquillity.
9. Acts of Kindness Received and Given:
- Christmas is a season of giving, and I am grateful for the acts of kindness both received and given. From small gestures to grand expressions, each act has contributed to the sense of community and shared humanity that makes this season so special.
10. Opportunities for Reflection:
- As the year draws to a close, I am thankful for the opportunities for reflection. The chance to pause, contemplate, and express gratitude allows me to savor the richness of the journey and prepares me for the new adventures that lie ahead.
Conclusion:
This Christmas, as I count my blessings, I am reminded that gratitude is a gift that keeps on giving. It transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary memories and fosters a perspective that enriches the tapestry of our lives.
May this season be a time for you to reflect on your own blessings and find joy in the simple yet profound elements that make life truly remarkable.
Merry Christmas
With Love
Jacqui
