As 2025 begins to wind down, I find myself in a reflective state of mind. Life feels like it’s moving so fast, doesn’t it? The other day, my cousin just said to me, “It’s only December 4, and I already feel like I’m behind this season. How can that be?” I laughed because I feel the same way.

The truth is, there is so much coming at all of us—Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday, breaking news headlines about potential war crimes, presidential pardons, and the ever-changing vaccine guidelines. It feels like it’s almost impossible to stay on top of anything, especially when you’re more worried about affording groceries or covering your rent, much less a Christmas gift for your kid.
