What a great way to celebrate the month of December and each other during this time of the year. Lots of people don&#8217;t or even can&#8217;t celebrate the holidays, regardless of beliefs or religions. This calendar fits the bill for all of us!<\/p>\n<p>Update, an amazing reader shared with me an update to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCv2XOYJJjBaWoCFN2Zms4Pg\">Advent of Kindness origin..please check out his You Tube Video<\/a> to go with it&#8230;Each day Christopher shares his experiences!<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vlogmas 2018 Announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PJ-YmxFTxTE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>You can even make your own calendar, or follow along this one. What is most important is to begin to think of ways you can make a difference each day and make the world a kinder place.<\/p>\n<p>It also a great activity to do something other than shop for holidays or hurry about, missing the real point\u00a0to the coming of the holidays.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\">Your Angel Guidance is to\u00a0take a day each day of this month and celebrate the Advent of Kindness<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You don&#8217;t need to follow this wonderful idea exactly like the picture. You can set your intention in the morning to do something that day that will make a difference in someone else&#8217;s day. Then, as you go about your day, look for opportunities to do something kind. In the evening, journal about your day and the experiences you had and felt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Love and blessings, Sharon and the Angels<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingwiththeuniverse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ww.playingwiththeuniverse.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\">A great\u00a0Christmas Gift is\u00a0Sharon&#8217;s book\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hLo1LL\" target=\"_blank\">Angel Guidance, Messages of love and Healing or get the kindle\u00a0<\/a>and begin to read a page today!<\/span><\/h4>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#403F42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"m_1320080132080913173MainTextFullWidthTD\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"m_1320080132080913173MainTextFullWidth\"><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001MqaRxg5KI7gRAk3pKbdB5U5b-M2xQrWrWQHEYf-cgfVayNrwCA2NnKWTnKX_CHjPTc4cN9UCZ67i0hyGWEVZ7bDxYfDgPyJDty55u3rCuCC8YP8oPk2CG_sN3at6vIaYWTyd2Q4EeY9jFtL2gLfNkw==&amp;c=C4GrH7tFoCZYZfJroaGMPhvh3R5mgfnCDKPxWsQSmkkG_DDG5biIEQ==&amp;ch=KjbcSUT2gDZVJkDfvlq1HUFCK1QNMVCTmVR8RMiM6H_gAC-LJcM2BQ==\" target=\"_blank\">Like what you read, Buy Sharon a cup of Coffee<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"score-component ad ad-container hidden-xs text-center col-sm-12\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"score-component ad ad-container hidden-xs text-center col-sm-12\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div class=\"teads-inread\">\n<div class=\"teads-ui-components-label\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/playingwiththeuniverse.blogspot.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Check out Sharon\u2019s daily Angel\u00a0Wisdom\u00a0Messages<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a fantastic Idea for the Advent season.
