Hey Everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with close friends and/or family and filled your bellies with lots of great food! I write to you from a place of reflection and preparation for the upcoming holiday season. It has already hit me...the days seem shorter, deadlines/finals are around the corner, and that chocolate brownie at the end of the day just seems to get more and more appealing. Where does this shift come from? My theory is that we all feel rushed because our days seem to fly by and with an already dreadful economy, the financial pressures seem to be a steady reminder of our current hardships. Well, I'm here to be that friendly voice telling you that the holiday season is not ALL about the money! Remember? That whole giving thing. Well, from personal experience, it is THE way to go! It is amazing the joy I receive when giving someone something even if it is inexpensive. The thought really is what counts when giving to loved ones and hey, do not doubt your creative abilities! I encourage making gifts because it is all the more special. =)
Another worry for some of us may be the food that seems to be finding its way into our bodies without thinking, or worrying too much! My baked goods have been sitting on my counter since Thanksgiving and are not going away! I suggest donating unwanted sweets that are really just going to sit on your counter and "haunt" you anyway. Give it to someone who will appreciate them or eat them in moderation yourself! Don't empower the deserts, take your self-control and use it full force this time and if you feel like having one, just do it! No regrets.
Be Well,
Erin
