When surrounded by the clamour of "just WAIT", "Don't do THAT" and "It's dangerous out there"...no wonder we don't see any options.  With the accompanying loss of activity and normal life many of us have found giving up to be the easiest, least painful way to live right now.  But is that really living?

Let's chat about this.  With so much we can't or should not do, will the holidays be worth it?  Or should we just hunker down and wait until 2021, the vaccine to get on with celebrating or honoring?   It all depends on you.  We wait for permission for so many things.  We depend on others to show the way.  It is time to create holidays...your way.  And it all starts with you.  The Blog https://ReloWomen.com/holidays-all-or-nothing.
