🎄 The Magic of Showing Up

What I’m learning (and relearning) in this season of life is that the moments that stay with us aren’t always the big ones.

They’re the quiet yeses.

The ordinary days.

The times we choose to be present instead of productive.

Showing up looks like walking school hallways instead of rushing through them.

It looks like stopping to admire children’s artwork.

It looks like laughing at a silly elf display and realizing—this is enough.

These are the moments that create safety, belonging, and joy.

Not because they’re planned—but because they’re shared.

And long after the decorations come down, this is what remains.
