Happy Holidays + a gift for you :-)

Happy Holidays!

I hope this post finds you well and enjoying a relaxing + replenishing week with loved ones.

This is my favorite time of year. I’m a girl who loves traditions, and this time of year is chock full of them, which suits me just fine :-)

For me the holiday season begins with the preparation of the Thanksgiving meal (while watching the parade, of course), is punctuated with a number of “must-do” traditions (like cookie baking, tree selection & decorating and riding around to look at all the Christmas lights in our PJs), and wraps up with fireside-sitting and goal setting on January 1st with the completely terrible Mummers Parade on in the background (if you’re from the Philadelphia area, you know what this is).

There’s something about the ritual of doing these meaningful and heartfelt traditions year after year that warms my soul in a way that few other things can. I just love it.

More and more in recent years, I’ve come to recognize the importance of rituals in other areas of my life -- my morning meditation, my yoga practice, my evening journaling and reading. 

Those things, similar to the holiday traditions, give me something to come back to, look forward to and count on. They nurture my soul.

With that in mind, I want to invite you to join me for a soul-nurturing start to 2017.

My free Mindset Reset Challenge is starting January 2nd and will offer you 5 days of mini-rituals to help you reset your mindset for true happiness and success on your terms in the new year.

Each day of the challenge you’ll receive a short audio from me and a loving action step to help you “reset” your mindset and embrace self-love and growth. 

Together, we’ll uncover your Mindset Blocks and work to move beyond them so that you can enter into 2017 untethered by your limiting beliefs and ready to expand into your true potential!

This free Mindset Reset Challenge is my holiday gift to you. (I hope you like it!) 

Click here to register for this lovely free event, and you’ll receive more details about it as January 2nd approaches.

P.S. My gift for you this year? 5 days of mini-rituals to help you reset your mindset for happiness and success in 2017. Join the Mindset Reset Challenge here, and we’ll get started January 2nd!

Count Your Blessings

Happy Holidays to you, dear friend!

Take a moment, right now, to reflect on all the wonderful things that found their way to you over the past year. (I bet there are thousands.)

Think of the lessons you learned, the unexpected opportunities that came your way and the people you met who changed your life for the better.

Think about the things you created, the experiences that enriched you and the beautiful things you learned about yourself.

Whether this year was your best yet, felt like a stumbling block or was the starting point of something new, I know, without a doubt, that it delivered you the precise lessons, people and insights that you needed.

Trust the timing of your life. Trust that it's unfolding just as it's supposed to.

For the first time since August of 2012 (when this message went out to just 65 people!), I am doing something I've never done before -- well actually 2 things I've never done before.

First, I'm sharing a special holiday message with you in song. I love singing and was always a part of singing groups, choirs and a cappella groups when I was growing up, but it's something I've never shared with you.

And, the second thing, this will be the last time you hear from me.......until 2016. After this greeting reaches you, I encourage you (just as I will be doing) to take some time off from your habitual to-dos to savor the splendidness of the holidays. Check your emails a little less, put your phone on silent (or turn it off!), let your to-do list sit for a few days, and simply enjoy this lovely season. Give yourself that gift. (And, we'll resume our weekly interludes on Wednesday, January 6th.)

Listen to your special holiday message below.

Download your Numbered Guide to Gratitude here. It will only take you a few minutes to complete and will enable you to clearly see the profound gifts, opportunities and lessons that 2015 offered you.

Then, when we return in 2016, you and I will be ready to get started because we'll have replenished ourselves. At that point, if you want to create your clear and thoughtful roadmap to success, let's chat.

Sending you love + wishes for a joyous holiday season!
