Will you be present for the holidays? Fully present? I have a habit of being so busy doing that I am not being. The shopping, the presents, the meals, the decorating, the last minute things to do – my mind is aswirl (and sometimes my body), thinking of all the things I must do, and worrying if the things I did do are good enough.

This year I am going to make a conscious effort to slow down and be fully present. I can give up feeling the need to control every outcome. It’s hard to switch gears after years of doing, but let me tell you, I’m looking forward to my Christmas presence. So if you are feeling just a wee bit stressed (or more), remember, be present this holiday. It is a lovely present to give yourself.

I would be feeling less than holiday jolly if I did not give you all the opportunity to share in my Holiday Event next week. It’s a special sale for my Newsletter subscribers. So if you haven’t yet signed up, please do so that you too will receive the Special Announcement newsletter on Sunday.
