Renny Reads of the week:

Social Connections

When you think of the holiday season, what comes to mind? For many of us, it’s spending time with friends and family, sharing laughs, and creating memories. But let’s be honest- while it’s called the “season of togetherness,” not everyone feels connected. In fact, loneliness spikes for many during this time, even during festive cheer.

Recent statistics paint a sobering picture. Nearly 45% of UK adults report feeling lonely, with 1 in 14 saying they feel this way often. It’s a reminder that connection is about more than proximity—it’s about meaningful engagement. Maybe it’s a text to an old friend, a call to a relative, or inviting someone who might otherwise spend the holidays alone to share a meal.

And it’s not just about reaching out; it’s about showing up. Taking the time to listen, to share, and to be present. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the number of connections we have, but the depth of those relationships that fills our hearts. This season let’s commit to nurturing our social connections. Whether it’s through grand gestures or small acts of kindness, we all have the power to make someone feel seen, valued, and loved.
