Happy Holidays!

Christmas is near. Hopefully you are almost done with shopping, and ready for the family and friends you’ll see and share the day with. I’m taking a moment now to wish everyone a safe and richly blessed day. My wishes for all…that you be of good cheer whether you are near or far.

For those like me who are single, still embrace the day. If you don’t have friends or family to celebrate with, still surround yourself with wonderful self-love – God will be sending someone to love your way – soon enough – for now simply continue to be ready. Consider taking stock of who you’ve been in 2011, and think about how better you can be for 2012.

Revolutionize yourself! Shake loose of all the negative things you’ve experienced this year – from bad dates, to bad relationships. It’s over thank goodness. Don’t take it with you into 2012. And if you’re holding out for or on someone, it’s time to let go. It’s a painful choice, but one that is necessary. The fear of being alone allows us to be in things we have no business being in – whether it’s being involved with someone who is already committed, to being in relationships that we are unhappy in. Whatever it is let go, and let God. Inject your life with passion. Your life should give you chills.

I know it’s hard being alone – looking at the empty chair as you eat, getting into a cold bed. But you have yourself, and sometimes that’s the best place for you. This time last year, I was completely alone, living away from all family and friends. I awoke Christmas morning crying and having a nice pity party. But I decided to get up and prepare my dinner and celebrate the day. And I felt so much better. It’s all in how you look at things. It all sounds cliché I know, but it beats the alternative. You are what you think really. And some of us are thinking some crazy stuff!


Today
One more day
I was given
To be blessed
To be a blessing
One more day
To make a difference
In who I am
And what I choose to say
One more day
To change
To live
Breathe
To tell the truth
In word or deed
One more day
I was given
Today
Amen

Be blessed!
