What Does This Season Mean to You? A Season of Joy and Love



By Colleeno Chippy


The holiday season often brings a unique blend of emotions—joy, love, reflection, and even bittersweet memories. It’s a time when we gather with loved ones, celebrate milestones, and create memories that warm our hearts. But this season also carries deeper significance, especially when it becomes a time to honor and cherish those who are no longer with us.


Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending my nephew’s 11th birthday party. It was a joyful occasion filled with laughter, love, and togetherness. Yet, it was also his first birthday without his mom—my beloved sister, who we lost far too soon. Despite the pain of her absence, the day was a testament to the strength of family and the importance of showing up for one another.


A Season of Togetherness


For me, this season is about being present with those who matter most. It’s about setting aside our busy schedules and making time to connect, whether it’s through celebrations, shared meals, or even a quiet conversation. Yesterday reminded me how powerful these moments can be.


As we gathered around my nephew, every hug, smile, and kind word seemed to carry extra weight. We weren’t just celebrating a birthday; we were reminding him that he’s surrounded by love, even in the absence of his mother.


Finding Joy Amidst Loss


Loss has a way of shaping how we view the holidays. It teaches us to appreciate the moments we have and the people who fill them. My nephew’s party was a bittersweet reminder of this. While we deeply missed my sister, we also celebrated her legacy—the love she poured into her son and the memories she left behind.


It’s not always easy to find joy when someone is missing, but the beauty of this season is its ability to bring healing. We can honor our loved ones by carrying their light forward, sharing their stories, and creating new traditions in their memory.


What This Season Means to Me


This season, more than anything, is about:

• Gratitude: For the moments we have and the people who make them meaningful.

• Love: Showing up for one another, especially when it’s needed most.

• Legacy: Honoring those who’ve passed by continuing to nurture the bonds they helped create.

• Hope: Believing in the resilience of the human spirit and the promise of brighter days ahead.


For my nephew, yesterday was a day filled with joy. It was a reminder that even in the face of loss, life continues, and it can still be beautiful.


A Call to Reflect


What does this season mean to you? Is it a time of celebration, reflection, or something else entirely? Take a moment to pause and appreciate the people around you, the memories you’ve made, and the new ones you’re creating. Let this season remind you of what truly matters: love, family, and the enduring power of togetherness.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
