I first heard about The And Space from my internet friend, Liz. She talks about living in a space where we can hold two very different (and often opposite) feelings at the same time. I’ve been thinking a lot about that this year, but in particular this holiday season. Joy & Sadness. Hope & Uncertainty.

We’re missing so many of our favorite people. We’re mourning the normalcy of life as we’ve always known it. We’re hoping for “herd immunity” and vaccines and the promise of hugs in 2021.

But on the other hand, we’re finding gratitude in our jobs, in our health, and especially in each other. We’re slowing down and savoring each moment we can spend together (even if that looks different than we’d like).

Merry Christmas, friends.
