I was taught this story in my high school Peer Counseling class. I loved it that first day and still love it today.  Mrs. Lashbrook, my teacher, explained that we have the choice to give warm fuzzies, good feelings, or cold pricklies, negative feelings. 

Children and dogs give unconditional love--Warm Fuzzies--easily and without hesitation.  As we grow up, the witch whispers into our ears and we start to pick and choose whether we'll pass out warm fuzzies or cold pricklies. 

As life and business gets harder, busier, more stressful, the more we pass along cold pricklies.  If we're lucky-- teachers, incarnations of the Hip Woman, come into our lives to remind us that though the struggle lies over our land, we have the choice!

As much as possible, I choose to freely give my warm fuzzies around!  May you be blessed, loved and find joy this holiday season!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

With bagfuls of Warm Fuzzies,
