Blue Christmas Blue Christmas, A Guided Retreat to Ease Your Heartache and Bring Peace of Mind is designed to be used as a self-led retreat to guide you in quiet reflective moments during the holiday season. It is where you can contemplate and document your inner-most thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
Holidays can be emotional and challenging times laden with sadness, worry and fear. Stress and heartache, especially grief, are often amplified. The holidays, while filled with light, can create palpable darkness. This Blue Christmas book is where you can hold your grief sacred throughout the holiday season.
How to Use the Blue Christmas Blessing Book:
There are prompts to serve as guides for you to contemplate. Writers can spin off of these prompts or take their entries in an entirely different direction. Select a word or phrase that is meaningful to you. Place the word or phrase at the top of selected page (and in the corresponding place in the Table of Contents). Use the content space provided on the page to describe its significance. The space is kept intentionally small so as to encourage ease of this writing practice.
Blue Christmas is part of the Matrika Press Blessing Book series. Blessing Books are created by Twinkle Marie Porter-Manning and are a source of intentional inspiration to be used to record personal messages in times of contemplation. At the heart of Blessing Books is the desire to share sentiments, messages and stories that we can draw upon as sources of comfort and a reminder that we are loved.
Wherever you are on your journey, may this Blessing Book serve you well.
