"Empty Chair"

<p>Holidays feel like magic. Except when they don't. </p> <p>Most importantly during an experience of loss. Any loss, but mostly when we lose a loved one. Or, when we are hosting loved ones who have lost a loved one. </p> <p>When I held a virtual meeting as a support and coaching opportunity for women physicians, I was asked to make some of that information public. I am shareing the beginning of that session here with you. </p> <p>Feel free to share this with those you think may benefit from this wisdom to do less. </p> <p>You have my permission to:</p> <ol> <li>Skip the holiday cards</li> <li>Skip having friends over for dinner</li> <li>Skip going to friends for dinner</li> <li>Skip exchanging gifts</li> <li>Skip people pleasing so OTHERS feel better</li> </ol> <p>I hope this helps you in the smallest way possible. </p>
