What is the true essence of the holidays?
What is most important during this time of year?
It is a time for giving, loving and sharing.
It is a time to be thankful and grateful for all of our blessings.

This is a time for being with the people you love.
Sharing time with family and friends.
But are you sharing quality time?

So many of us are rushing around and caught up in the holiday hype.
Take a breath, take another one or two and let go.
All you have to do is smile.

There are people all around you who would greatly benefit from your sincere smile.
A kind word, a small gesture, just taking a moment to acknowledge another person with a smile.
The best gift you can give to anyone is the authentic you – your presence!

The true holiday spirit is one of kindness, compassion and caring.
We all want to be acknowledged, recognized and appreciated.
Don’t allow yourself to be so focused on the food, parties and gifts that you neglect to take care of people around you.

It is easy to focus on the gifts and the celebration.
Make sure the people feel your love and encouragement.
People always remember how you made them feel, long after the gifts are gone.

There are so many little ways that you can let someone know you care.
You do not have to buy expensive gifts or spend a lot of money.
It just takes sincerity and intention and comes through loud and clear and goes directly into their hearts.

Share a meal together, sit by the fire, hold hands, take a walk in nature or listen to good music.
This creates a nice energy when your heart and presence is there.
Being present and in the moment allows you to truly connect with people.
This is the best way for you to share your greatest gift with others – give them the total you!

Wishing you a Wonderful Holiday Weekend!
