| Greetings!
I hear many people refer to their stress levels rising during the holidays, and the push to "getting it all done". There is no doubt that this time of the year seems to have the potential for much activity, and a higher propensity to feel harried.
After a long stretch of illness, I am happily entering right into the potential hustle and bustle of the season. However, because of the time I uncharacteristically spent "sick", I was given the gift of much time for reflection - and for questioning my previous pace.
What if we've been going about it all wrong? Perhaps the innate drive within us this time of the year is in an effort to fulfill our mission as fellow beings and create ways of giving to one another in ways that really matter? What might be possible for us all then?
Magically, Stephanie |

| Gifts of the Soul |

"It is an act of service to love yourself and to show love to others."
- Carolyn Myss
What, or whom, are you serving this holiday season with your gifts?
What difference would it make if we would give of ourselves this season rather than another store bought gift?
Check in with yourself about whom your store bought gift is serving really, and if you aren't sure, or if you are no longer connected to giving in this way, consider doing something that has soul - your specific version of soul!
There are so many people in your circle of contacts, friends and family who would love to have a gift of service this season. Do you know any new parents who might need a night out? Or a friend who could use a home cooked meal?
And don't forget yourself! The more energy you free up to do the things that hold meaning for you, the more you will have to give to those truly in need of your gifts.
