Thursday

Good morning Friends,

Its starting to look alot like Christmas.

Everywhere I go Christmas lights, Christmas songs, and presents everywhere, and everything says its on sale. This time of year can either be filled with joy or pain for many it can be a time to reflect on family, for others it can be stressful...do to money, and having to buy extra stuff, and there living pay check to pay check. Make sure you make the smart choice for you, and your family. Live within your means even at Christmas time.

I encourage all of you to get creative in your giving this time of year, and only give what you can give, even if its just your time or your friendship... share kind thoughtful words, exchange cookies with your neighbors. Whatever you can do, do it today it will not only get your mind off of yourself ... it will lift your spirit. Sometimes people think they have to spend alot of money on someone to show how much they love them. Some of the best gifts I have been given during the Holiday season where gifts of Love that where hand made, and powerful words in a card, or actions that show you they love you. So remember don't stress out about spending alot of money this year...instead remember JESUS and remember to treat people the way that you want to be treated, and slow down. I see so many people over booking there schedule,and feeling very frazzled... it does not have to be this way, and what you cant do, don't do. There is a powerful word that I have learned and that is "NO" Only do what you can do to stay peaceful everything else someone else will have to do.

Also remember this time of year if you over book yourself then you will not be able to take great care of yourself, and if that happens nobody will be happy "IF Moms not Happy Nobody Is" So make time for yourself even when the kids are home for the Holiday Break. Exercise daily, eat right take your vitamins, and surround yourself with positive people, and be the light that God created you to be. Thursday is one of my favorite days,and tonight my daughter gets to dance.. as she loves to do, and I get to go to Yoga class. life is good you just have to make it that way you are in control of your life... be a leader. Peace,and Love always, and I wish you a blessed weekend, Ursula
