December 1st. It’s past midnight, and I’m sharing this not from a park bench as I often do, but from the warmth of my own bed, accompanied by a faithful hot water bottle. The shift in setting brings a shift in reflection.
I find myself reminiscing about my earliest Christmas memories, and what remains truly unforgettable is the scent of my mum’s cooking. She would start prepping on the 24th and continue right into the early hours of the 25th, filling every corner of our house with the smell of her love and delicious food. I can almost taste that chicken right now! 😄
Being miles apart for several years, missing her is a consistent part of my daily life. Yet, in my excitement for this new month, I’m setting an intention: may December be filled with an abundance of love—self-love, love from loved ones, and love from the universe.

I dedicate this post to my mum, for her unwavering love and all the fond memories I have because of her warmth. I love you, Mum ❤️
Have an amazing month of December, everyone! As we take our mindful miles, don’t forget to walk with gratitude and make this season memorable.
