As the last holiday feasts are enjoyed, the parties quiet down, and the resolutions begin to take shape, we enter a new year filled with uncertainty and possible cuts to our beloved long-term services and supports.
While often stressful, the holiday season brings exceptional warmth and joy to those who celebrate. At Shining Beautiful, we want to extend that warmth to you as we enter 2025. In these uncertain times, the love of friends and family becomes even more essential, reminding us of what truly matters.
For those who celebrated the season with a loved one who has a disability, you know the unique challenges that can arise. The holidays can amplify the daily hurdles of ensuring your loved one is happy and healthy. But amidst the work, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Prioritize your well-being, indulge in the small joys, and let go of minor frustrations. This time of year is temporary; soon enough, we’ll look forward to its return.
If illness touched your holidays, as it did for some of our friends, we wish you a healthier year. Missing out on traditions and moments can be disappointing, but life always presents new opportunities. Embrace them when they come, and treasure the moments you can create.
As we step into 2025 with hope and resilience, we extend our best wishes to you. May this year bring you joy, the company of good friends, and success in whatever goals you set. Let’s make the most of what lies ahead, and above all, always remember to Shine Beautifully!
Together, we love, and together, we create a beautiful future. We will figure it out.
