From the Editor's Desk - December 2020

Hello and Happy Holidays! I Hope everyone is doing well and keeping their spirits up. We all know this time of year is about giving. But giving doesn’t have to be about giving money or presents. Giving can simply mean calling up an old friend to ask how they’re doing or telling someone they’re wearing a nice sweater if you think so. Unfortunately, something that has happened as a result of Covid-19 is the loss of our social lives. People seem to be more reclusive than ever – I read an article the other day that people don’t even wan to video chat anymore (Hey, I get that).

But I think even though it’s hard these days, we should each try to make an effort to be extra kind to others. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to live life to the fullest, and in many cases that means putting yourself out there and tell people how you feel. I think if we all took a moment to let someone know we appreciate having them in our lives, or just call to say hi, those actions will raise the world’s vibrations and help make 2021 an amazing year where we see the human spirit shine.

On that note, I’d like to say how much I appreciate all of you – our writers, our readers, our vendors, our experts, and everyone who’s part of the A Beautiful Life Family. You all bring a light to the world that is palpable and shines from every member of our tribe. Have a safe, wonderful, and Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday, and Happy New Year, and I will see you in January!
