Good Morning!
The holidays are upon us, a blessed time of
celebrating and appreciating loved ones, friends, and treasured family
traditions.
Holidays can also be a time of extra stress, loneliness, and overwhelm.
The good news is that you have the ability to choose for yourself what
kind of holiday season you’d like to have. It really is up to you.
Lots of people will be pulling back on their
spending this holiday season. What a perfect way to get back to what the
holidays are really about. By becoming more conscious of your
spending (where you spend your money, who you spend your time with, and
where you spend your energy) you have the opportunity to create your best
holiday season ever!
Take a
moment right now to write down your three most important intentions for
your holidays. Now take a moment to write down three things you are going
to do differently (or perhaps eliminate all together) this year.
Now,
see yourself on New Year’s Eve celebrating, having experienced the best
holiday season ever. Sense the satisfaction of knowing that you
intentionally created the kind of memories you wanted. You said “no” to
people and things that did not appeal to you and said, “yes” to the things
that did. You slowed down your pace so that you could truly appreciate the
meaning of the season and the abundance of gifts (most of them intangible)
that you enjoy not only during the holidays, but everyday of your life.
See
yourself smile as you remember that every day can be a celebration. As you
ponder the beauty and love that surrounds you, give thanks to Spirit and
to your Inner Being who is always there to remind you of what life is
really about – love and appreciation.
As you
bask in that love and appreciation, remember that Spirit is always there
to support and guide you and that if you choose, 2009 could be your best
year ever. So get out that pen and start journaling about desires
for this holiday season (and perhaps for the year to come).
Remember that you are loved and appreciated by many people (including me).
And remember that the reason for the season is Love. Have a blessed and
memorable month.
Happy Holidays!

My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's
Personal Journey (Hardcover)
by Jill Bolte Taylor (Author)
On the morning
of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old
Harvard-trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a
blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by
profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point
that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life,
all within the space of four brief hours. In My Stroke of Insight,
Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for
recovery, and the sense of understanding she gained from this unusual and
inspiring voyage. Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated
her understanding of the world according to the insights gained from her
right brain that morning of December 10th
