No matter how much we plan, something always goes sideways — a flight delay, a burnt pie, a last-minute gift forgotten.
This is where real rebalancing happens — not in perfect calm, but in how we respond when things don’t go as planned.
When I was writing The Rebalancing Act, I learned that resilience isn’t about avoiding chaos; it’s about adjusting your footing while you’re still moving.
So when something goes wrong this week, try this simple reset:
- Pause. Take a deep breath.
- Pivot. Ask, “What still matters here?”
- Proceed. Let go of the rest.
The magic of the holidays isn’t in the perfection of the moment — it’s in our ability to keep showing up with love and flexibility.
May your plans bend easily, your laughter come freely, and your peace stay intact — no matter what unfolds.
Until next time,
