[WomensWisdom] Holidays - Your Way?! December 9th

=======================

This may seem like an unusual question, but have you ever thought about creating your holidays consciously and deliberately in a way that works for you?

I know what you're thinking - "Yeah, right." or "That's not possible" or "I don't have time.". Or maybe I've piqued your interest. Either way, please keep reading!

Imagine a holiday season where you didn't stress out or feel overwhelmed. Where your Soul was nurtured and you enjoyed connecting with others. Wouldn't it be wonderful?!

If you could design the perfect holiday *for you*, what would it look like? Where would you be? Who would be with you? What would you do? What is the Essence of your ideal holiday season? These are questions we don't ask - we get too caught up in all the activity and hub-bub.

For me, the ideal holiday season has at its center - love. Sharing love with others. Celebrating life. If that is with my family - great! If I can't be with family, than I might go somewhere and be of service and share my love - volunteering.

My ideal holiday season also includes connection. Connecting with Spirit, with my Self, with Nature, with others. For me to be connected and be love and share that with others means I have to take time to meditate, get plenty of sleep, move my body (aka exercise), eat well and set intentions. The opposite of the typical holiday season, right?

I strongly, lovingly encourage you to create your holiday season *intentionally* this year. Get clear on the Essence of your ideal holiday and then do what you need to, to show up *fully YOU*!

If, after determining your ideal holiday, you have specific challenges you're not sure how to handle, email me or consider joining my Holiday teleclass (details below).

And if you haven't finished your Christmas shopping (like me), check out the Inspired Gifts below: hand-picked, tested and loved by Yours Truly!

In Spirit,

INSPIRED HOLIDAY GIFTS:

Consider giving a gift that brings joy to the heart, and yummy to the tummy -

VERMONT SHORTBREAD COMPANY
Deliciously decadent! Hand-made with love and care by Ann Zuccardi, Cookiepreneur. Great as gifts or as a yummy addition to your Christmas dinner. My favorites are raspberry jam and chocolate! Plenty of time left to order for Christmas delivery. http://www.womensu.com/vermontshortbread.htm

Consider giving a gift that is beautiful and functional -

BLUEBONNET POTTERY
Gorgeous stoneware pottery, hand-thrown by Master Potters Stephen and Bonnie Todee (my pottery teachers!). No molds or presses here! Colors and finishes are beautiful! And as stunning as the pieces are, they are also oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. Imagine serving your Christmas dinner in beautiful works of art! http://www.bluebonnetpottery.com

Consider giving a gift that makes a difference -

BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY*
"All the Good News about Animals"
A model animal sanctuary and society with a revolutionary 'No More Homeless Pets' campaign. Their full-color magazine is truly *inspirational* and will make you feel good! Be a part of the miracle! Annual membership (including the magazine) is a great gift for the animal lovers in your life! http://www.bestfriends.org

HEIFER INTERNATIONAL*
"Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
This successful approach proves that when people receive sustainable sources of food and income - livestock that produce milk, eggs, wool, draft power and fertilizer, for instance - they'll lift themselves out of hunger and poverty - permanently. And your gift to one family will also give to others as the livestock offspring are shared with the village. http://www.heifer.org
