What are you spreading?


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
4. Write a letter to someone who needs to hear how you feel about them
5. Take some pictures of your favorite things this time of year and go for a walk or run
6. Watch a favorite movie
7. Have lunch with an old friend
8. Make a craft with your kids
9. Give some change to the men and women standing in the cold ringing the Christmas bells
10. Sing Christmas carols and give thanks somehow, some way. 



Be a Buddy Elf, not a South Pole elf!
