Creating a Calmness

Dec 01, 2021

As we inch closer and closer to the end of the year we are reminded of the year past, the good and the bad, and we reflect on ourselves, our own community and the world at large.

The thing we’ve been hearing a lot from people around us lately is “This year just flew by, I can’t believe it’s already December!” And we can definitely relate to this on some level.

Most of us know the feeling well... as we fill our days with more and more busyness, time seems to fly by faster and faster. It’s no surprise really, given how fast our device-focused, multi-tasking lives can be on a day to day basis.

However, living through the pandemic this past year has taught us the need to slow down a little, because in some ways it forced us to. By slowing down, and creating a calmness in our lives it opens up the time and space to allow gratitude and joy to enter. Once we strip away the noise of everyday life, our perspective shifts and allows us to experience life in a whole new way. It allows us to better appreciate the events and people around us, rather than feeling like we're living our days in a blur. And it doesn't require a change of life, but rather a change of mind.

Dolf and I have been very mindful of this through the past year and have found ways to allow calmness to seep into our busy lives of work, family and personally. As we head into the holiday season, it’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, relax and simply enjoy the moment. Make the time to be present with loved ones, show gratitude, share love and give support to others, and in return you will feel a different kind of satisfaction than what a busy work day can bring.

As we slowly work our way back towards a whole new normal heading into 2022 and the light at the end of the tunnel shines a bit brighter everyday, we hope that the calmness and gratitude that we have reignited stands strong long into the future.

We would like to take this opportunity to show our gratitude and give thanks to you for being a part of our lives. Dolf and I truly cherish the relationships that we have created over the years and we appreciate each and every one of you. As we near the Christmas season we would like to pass our thoughts and good wishes on to you and your families. Wishing you joy and happiness this holiday season.
