deLIGHTful December
Karina Gerhardt-Strachan | DEC 1, 2025

Welcome to December!
Welcome to the month of the year where I get to, with my love of word alliteration, use one of my favorite ‘d’ words: delight. Why is that one of my favorite words, you may ask? There are multiple reasons but one of them is because it includes the word ‘light’.
Have you ever stopped to ponder that word? In all its different shapes & forms? I find it fascinating because it can refer to both density and brightness/luminosity of something. As we move rapidly towards the shortest day/longest night of the year, here in the Northern Hemisphere, perhaps it has extra significance for us to ponder:
🤔 What brightens life? What darkens life?
What makes me feel heavy? What makes me feel light?
🤔 How can I feel more light today?
How can I feel more light throughout this month?
May you curate peace-full moments for yourself this holiday season!

"And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling,
“This is important! And this is important! And this is important!
You need to worry about this! And this! And this!”
And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back,
put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important."
