Start a new tradition and add to your story

It’s Christmas Eve!!! All the presents are wrapped. The decorations are twinkling. It’s a wonderful time of year. 
This Christmas consider adding to your story. Start a tradition that adds meaning and joy to your life. 
My extended family gathers each Christmas Eve. We have breakfast for supper. Everyone brings their favorite breakfast casserole or dish. We sit around the table laughing, telling stories, and listening to the children talk about Santa. Then after our tummy’s are about to burst, we play a round of dirty Santa. Fair warning, should you ever join our rowdy group….my mom loves to steal!  So much laughter and fun. 
Need some inspiration to get your egg nog clogged thoughts churning?  Consider giving your children a special ornament each year that relates to something that has happened, a hobby the love, or a skill they possess. Not only will they have a treasure to take with them when they start a home of their own; each time they take them out it will bring back a memory of a special time, place or event. 
Whatever you do this Christmas, I hope you remember the best story of all. It’s about a baby, born in a manger, who came to Earth to save us all.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

6 ways you can make International Women's Day, everyday

I believe it’s vital for women to pay it forward and be supportive of each other and the work (both professional and personally) each other does. We need to share what we learn along the path and not hold it tight. We need to light the path for those younger women beginning their climb, so their voices and ideas can shine. Remember, we don’t have to be perfect at what we do. We just have to be perfectly us doing it.

Imperfections make us shine

Our scars and baggage show the world we have made it this far on the journey. We’ve coped with the sadness, disappointments, and failures and still managed to find moments to celebrate and grow along the way.

It's Gal-entine's Day!

It’s time to set jealousy and competition aside and celebrate the accomplishments of each of us. We need to share the lessons we’ve learned along the way so others realize their struggles are not in vain. We need to celebrate what makes each of us unique and special.
