Kindness and Compassion during the Holidays!

By Sweta Shah Sakhpara, Founder, PranaWorks December 26, 2022

“You just don’t have the Holiday spirit!”

I hope you haven’t been the one to say it... even as I know a lot of you reading this, have been told so.

Christmas, New Years' or any festival/celebration is a time of joy for most of us but there are a few who have had the misfortune of having some tragic occurrence around this very time, and for them, the most wonderful time of the year is not so. It is probably the most dreadful time of the year.

While grief doesn’t follow a timetable, it sure knows when to hit hard.

For those of us who are witnesses to this, let’s please be compassionate towards those who seem to lack the spirit of that celebration. They may not be doing it on purpose.

For all those who are suffering and yet pasting a smile on your face for the sake of others, thank you, and please let us know if we can help you in any way. To be by your side - not to help you get out of it - just to be a friend.

For all those who aren’t sure - just ask?! :)

Hope you all had a great 2022, achieved all you set out to, or learned lessons you can use next year. 

Best wishes for 2023 - I wish you compassion, kindness, love, hope and peace!

🙏🙏
