In podcast 18 I spoke about gearing ourselves towards our new year’s resolutions a bit ahead of time and adding in more joy and less stress into our holiday season. I felt it deserved more attention  so I wanted to go a bit further into it in this podcast. Please share this podcast with others. There is special message at the end. 

Here we are into the holiday season a time for family and friends. No desire for drama but find it is often times hard to accommodate everyone’s wishes. Its such a busy time and there is much time spent planning and shopping and preparing to find it is all gone in a matter of what seems like moments, completely gone overall in day or two. Feeling rushed and frustrated and tired most time during the season who in the world will find the time to simply enjoy this time of year? You are!  I have some tips for you today to make your holiday season a more positive one. The question keeps coming up about whether or not you have your Christmas decor up before Thanksgiving. I say why not combine the both after all I think we need to learn to be thankful for what we already have as we go into a time of giving and receiving. Have you ever heard the saying that we should have Christmas all year? That spirit should be the theme of our lives. What people need to realize is this comes from your heart not your pocket book. It comes from your peace and your joy not your stress level or the need to impress anyone. I am reminding you to shake it off and be free.
