My favorite go-to’s for the holiday blues..
This is the season for joy, giving, laughing and sharing. But as every year I would like to acknowledge those who are stuggling, remembering loss and feeling sadness during this time of year. A true hug or sentiment of kindness goes along way. And you just never know who may need it. So a few of my very favorite pick me ups when feeling sad and blue are as follows: Sending Love, Hugs, and Well Wishes to All, XOXO Holiday Rising

Oh what a time we had in Breckendridge Colorado!
Tis the season to be Jolly, I wish I had the proper words to describe the pristine beauty sitting atop the Colorado rockies. The mountains were exploding with pops of vibrant green through the pillow of white cloudy puffy snow! Sprinkles of sunshine danced off of the leaves and snowflakes creating an absolute marvel of a sight and experience! We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Colin’s birthday at the Grand Lodge at peak 7 in Breckenridge and it was a ski lover’s dream! Or better yet a winter vacation lovers dream as I did not ski. But there was so much more than shredding to do in order to…
