The day after Thanksgiving, searching for a lost Apple pencil in my parents' couch, we uncovered a nest of Fiddleback Spiders (aka Brown Recluse). Yep, poisonous spiders, one literally crawling over my 21 year old son’s bare foot. Talk about holiday stress!

How do we manage holiday stress, family B.S., poisonous spiders, and our PROFOUND NEED FOR PEACE AND WELL-BEING? "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." It's true, we have to be the agent of our own peace. Let it begin with YOU. You may recall that I love the concept of Hÿgge, as practiced and perfected by the Danish people.  Hÿgge is a key to creating the internal peace we need to manage holiday stress..

Healthy HSP Holidays require a lot of boundaries and clear communication, but we can also prevent stress and overwhelm by finding what feels good (Hÿgge)--and putting it in action now in preparation.
