#Gift of #Winter There is a quiet humility about the earth in the winter months, as oanimals and people retreat inside to escape the wet and sometimes freezing cold that takes hold. Inside our homes we create abundance and warmth in response to being effectively forced indoors by the dark and cold. We burn fires in fireplaces and make comforting foods to keep our bodies warm and insulated. We may find ourselves sleeping longer hours and yearning for downtime, just like the animals deep inside their caves and warrens taking a winter-long nap. Even if we live in a warmer climate, the longer nights and shorter days have the same effect on our cycles. If we surrender to this time as nature intended, we allow ourselves to slow down, sleep more, and lower the volumes on our busy minds. At the same time, we crave company in our dwellings, and the insulated warmth of the hearth tends to bring people together, creating more warmth and fostering connections that last through the coming year. We laugh, eat, and talk, sleep, or catch up on reading, while outside our windows the earth grows dark earlier and stays cold longer, accepting as always of the process of change and her place within it. We might remember to learn from her as she so gracefully surrenders to the peace that precedes activity, and the darkness that precedes the light.

Keep the Holidays Merry & Safe! ✨🔥🎄 As we deck the halls and trim the tree, safety is key this holiday season! Here are some tips to prevent fires with Christmas trees and decorations: If using a live tree, choose a fresh tree: Opt for a tree with vibrant green needles that don't easily fall off. Keep it hydrated to reduce fire risks. Placement matters: Keep trees at least 3 feet away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, and candles. Lights check: Inspect lights for frayed wires or broken sockets before decking the tree. Use LED lights, which emit less heat. Water daily: If using a live tree, ensure it’s watered regularly to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard. Unplug at night: When heading to bed or leaving the house, turn off all holiday lights and decorations. Let’s keep the holiday spirit alive while prioritizing safety! Have a joyous and fire-safe holiday season 🎅🏼🚫🔥 #HolidaySafety #FirePrevention #DeckTheHallsSafely #RentPlum
