Just take a second to make sure you're spreading joy, love and peace. It's
hard, I know sometimes. But just try to make a conscious effort. Having a
parent that works retail I have heard some horrific stories that would
literally shock you. However, my mom wears a smile on her face every day and
treats every person with respect and dignity even when they throw things at her
(literally!) Family can be annoying after a while but jut think this could be
one of the last times you are all together. People will push you, cut you off
and not be as thoughtful as you, smile anyway. Forgive. Try making some fun
memories with loved ones during this time. Watch classic movies, wrap gifts
together and enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate. If you want to escape your long
to do list join me at The Journey for an hour of inspiration and rejuvenation
for your mind and heart.
Here's a list of some fun and easy ways to spread some cheer to
those around you before and after Christmas

Merry Christmas!
1. Buy someone who is stuck outside a cup of coffee
2. Pay for the coffee of someone behind you in line
3. Pick up a small gift for someone you wouldn't normally
