Devotional 9.1 Finding Stillness in the Season

In this reflective episode of Sipping on Wellness, I explore how to find stillness and peace in the middle of the holiday rush. While I love the warmth of twinkling lights, family gatherings, and the scent of something baking in the oven, I also know how quickly joy can be replaced by stress and exhaustion. Somewhere between the beauty and the busyness, peace often slips away.
