Counting your Blessings

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There are many holidays celebrated in December around the world and right here in this country; St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Boxing Day are just a few.

So the holiday season is in full swing. Our to do lists are full of things like gift shopping, going to the grocery store, making travel arrangements, decorating homes and businesses, baking and cooking, scheduling holiday and office parties to celebrate.
How much time will be spent on Thankfulness, Gratitude and Counting Blessings? When was the last time that you told a friend, co-worker or family member that you are Thankful for them? When was the last time you actually wrote down a Gratitude list for this time of the year? When was the last time that you asked others to share one of their Blessings with everyone?

What would your Holiday season be like if the Focus was on Gratitude, Thankfulness and Blessings instead of worrying If there is enough time to get everything done? Or if you have enough room for the family and friends at the holiday feast?
What if you just relaxed, slowed down a little and enjoyed the Holiday season for what it is supposed to be about- thankfulness and sharing bounty with all. What if you counted everyone that crosses your path today, tomorrow and all of December as a Blessing sent to you this Holiday season as an opportunity for you to say "Thank You" and share your Blessings with them all?

What would that Holiday season be like? Find out for Yourself!

Affirm:
This Holiday season I let go of stress, worry and perfectionism and I keep my focus on being Thankful, Grateful and Counting all my Blessings.

Have a truly Thankful Holiday season!
And Thank You to each of you for being a Blessing in my Life!

Learning can be fun!

I went to a womens networking meeting yesterday and met some wonderful new business women. They also had an informational speaker Betsy Rackliffe who walked us through the basics of Facebook. I for one learned alot! And Betsy's approach was laid back, patient and fun. I have been overwhlemed trying to fumble my way through Facebook and although they have tutorials it was extremely helpful to have someone demonstrate some basics on a computer screen right in front of me. I am a very visual person so seeing it in person and being able to ask questions on the spot was great.

What was most enlightening was that Betsy is a interior designer by trade but was willing to share her experience and knowledge of daily manuvering through Facebook with the small group of women who were eager to soak up any knowledge and helpful hints we could get. This will benefit Facebook as all of us in turn will be able to utilize our pages to the maximum and invite more users to try out Facebook and see for themselves how easy it can actually be.

And what a great example Betsy set for the rest of us to follow. To connect with other women and share with joy and fun her knowledge simply to help others be the Best at what they do.

I have already started implementing my newfound knowledge and can't wait to share the results with my new friends!
