“It’s Christmas Eve, the night of miracles.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
By: Gabriela Yareliz
Merry Christmas Eve! Our advent calendars end tonight. (Mine has been a source of so much excitement this season).
This break time has been a much-needed tension detox for me. What have I been up to? Some longs walks, cleaning and laundry, Aggie’s biohacking course, actually having the time to do Tracy Anderson workouts, doing some Pvolve (doing about 2-3 workouts a day), reading, listening to great podcasts like Real AF (Andy Frisella), Mel Robbins (family and healing generational wounds), and Adam Grant (courageous leadership), running errands, working on a new project (which involved building a mini island).
More than anything, working out unrushed and being in my body has been the greatest medicine of all. I feel human.
I love seeing festive stories on IG. Daphne Oz is a favorite. She makes the most beautiful food and busts out the cutest cups. A fabulous host.
I had a hot chocolate yesterday that reminded me how good a hot chocolate is. It has been a minute. This is your reminder to have one today.
I hope that tonight you revisit the story we celebrate. Do something that makes you pause and be human. Sing some Christmas hymns. Drink a hot chocolate. Move your body in a way that is connecting. Love and show generosity. Cherish nostalgia and tradition. Sit in the glow of the light.
It’s the night of miracles.
