As
the holidays approach each year, many of us are reminded of missing
family members, promises broken, arguments with those we love, estrangement,
lost dreams... Holidays are supposed to be a time of celebration and
love. We work hard to create that atmosphere both at home and with our
friends. Sometimes things get in the way. Sometimes we are lonely. Sometimes
the problems are just too big. Writing about them is a way to give them
respect and validation. Writing helps put them aside for a few days,
and often aids in healing. Whether your holidays are blurred because
of big problems or small ones, we invite you to write about them. We
hope that writing your story may help you... we know it will
help others. Warm wishes for a joyful and healing holiday season!
