November 2013

It's November. Which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Lately I've been taking more time to just be still and quiet; to notice more of what is going on around me.  In my observations I've been overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude and thankfulness.

Years ago I started what I call a Gratitude Journal. I jot down the things - small and big - that I am grateful for. Of course, my husband and family top the list. But over the years other things have made their way to the pages of this journal. Like sunshine on a cold, winter day. And frisky squirrels in the springtime. Or the elderly man who wanted to visit while we each got pedicures recently.  

I recently came across these quotes about being thankful and want to share them with you:

"You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink." - G. K. Chesterton

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

As we enter into the Holiday Season, I hope you are overwhelmed and completely blown away, and maybe even mesmerized by the things in your life that you can give thanks for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

  

  

 

While summertime is typically the time of year we tend to think of taking trips and vacations, the holiday season is another time when many of you "Go over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house" in order to see friends and family that live afar.  

I travel quite a bit with my speaking engagements and want to share some of my favorite travel products with you. These might make great Christmas gifts for those on your list or perhaps you'll think of asking for them yourself! I'm also including a list of websites that will give you other ideas for travel-related products and gifts.

Shoe covers/bags - These do a great job of keeping your clothes clean. I prefer the ones designed to hold just one shoe which allows you to fit your shoes in and around other items. These are made by Lewis N. Clark, but are available at any travel store or online.  

My new favorite suitcase - made by Briggs & Riley -it's the perfect size for a 1-2 day trip and has an outside compartment designed to hold a laptop. Convenient carry-on size with spinners.  $479, Lifetime warranty.

I recently received this set of 7 packing envelopes as a gift. As you can see, they are all different sizes and the translucency allows me to spot things quickly. I use them for cosmetics, first-aid items, sewing kit, hair products, jewelry, hosiery, etc. Made by Travelon. $22

BUILT travel organizer - designed to hold your electronics. I use it for my iPod, ear buds, cables, charger cords, etc. If it's an electronic gadget, it's got a home. $16.99 on Amazon.

Brightly-colored luggage tags - These will help your black bag stand out from all the others on the baggage carousel. $10 on Travelsmith.

Jewelry Roll - I've used one of these for many years. The design keeps your jewelry from getting tangled and the see-through pouches allow you to get at what you need quickly.  There are many types/styles on the market. Available at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target, Amazon, etc.  

Deluxe Bottle Set - I don't have this but might ask for it for Christmas.  These bottles come in a pre-approved TSA 1-Quart bag. This one is available from EagleCreek on Amazon but there are many available on the market. $18
