When we think of the New Year, we often think of resolutions, goals, and otherwise things we're looking forward to achieving. We also tend to take into stock what we wanted to do, or what we didn't manage to achieve last year. Maybe things like the money we didn't manage to save, or the weight we didn't lose.

The holiday season often comes with a set of traditions and rituals that we've grown up with. You might even say these traditions are what make the holidays special.

One thing’s important though. It's essential to recognize that we can create our own holiday traditions.

Thanksgiving is a time when we gather with family and friends, share delicious meals, and express our gratitude for things in our lives. Some of us have the tradition of going around the table and saying what we're thankful for.

As LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists, we aim to create safer and more welcoming spaces for LGBTQIA+ clients. While we've made great strides, we must always remember is that there is always room to grow and learn.

Remember playing on the playground during recess as a kid? When another kid would wander up to you and proudly proclaim that they also have a Care Bear shirt? Or maybe you both noticed you were playing with the same toy dinosaur and excitedly started creating paths in the sand for your twin toys. And then bam! Just like that, you're the best of friends.

Don't you wish it was that easy today, as an adult? Just wander up to someone, strike up a conversation, and suddenly you have a vacation planned together? If only!

This time of year you might hear a lot about vacations. Maybe your friend has been texting you excitedly about their big vacation abroad. A neighbor might have asked you to house-sit while they're away. Maybe every time you look at social media you're confronted with pictures of new destinations, wonderful food, and smiling faces.

Maybe you're thinking, When is it my turn?
