"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." — Albert Camus

December has a way of pulling us inward. Even here on St. Croix, where the sun still kisses the ocean, and the trade winds feel like a soft reminder to breathe, there’s a seasonal shift. A call to reflect. A moment to gather ourselves before the new year arrives. A gentle reminder that no matter what the outer world looks like,
there is always a light inside us that doesn’t dim. A part of ourselves that knows how to bloom, even when life feels heavy.

It’s the part of you that keeps showing up.
The part that finds hope, even on the harder days.

As we approach the holidays, the world asks a lot of us, emotionally, energetically, and practically. But there’s also beauty tucked into this season. If we let it, this time of year becomes a teacher: showing us how to hold softness and strength at the same time, how to rest without losing momentum, how to stay warm inside even when life feels cold around the edges.

Your “invincible summer” is the quiet confidence that you’ll get through whatever this season brings. It’s the spark that whispers, You’re doing better than you think.

Happy Monday!
