October 2012
Greetings!

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.  
~Leo Buscaglia
 
Happy December everyone, it really is that time of year again. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Saturday December 8th, Solstice is December 21, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's... whew! Hopefully this is a time of celebration in your life, where you can enjoy parties, friends and family, no matter what your spiritual beliefs may be. When it comes to love and generosity this is the most abundant time of year, and it is great to ride that tide of good humanity. 
 
And then there is the stress. You need gift ideas, even hostess gifts. Parties to attend and parties to plan; friends, family other social groups and work all demanding your time; Meetings to attend, shopping to do, cleaning to get done. Ack! Who has time for all that?
 
Relax and let businesses like ours help you ease your stress. We have many ways for you to bring a personal, high quality touch to all your Holiday, Gift Giving, Party & Celebration Needs. 
Food gifts such as Beautifully Decorated Cookies, Candy Bark, Pistachio Fudge, & Candied Nuts
Locally Roasted Coffees, Organic Teas & Specialty Cocoas; Fabulous Wines: Sparkling, White, Rose, Red, Dessert & Cocktail-and we are even having a sale on wine!
 
The Mayan calendar runs out on December 21, so we are having The End of All Time Wine sale!
Whatever we have left in stock on December 21st will be deeply discounted so we can start over with a new list for the new year!
 
Plus we have: Fabulous Hors D'oeuvres, Meals & Desserts! Take it to go or have your party delivered...
WE CAN: Fill your Party Platters * Stock your Wine rack * Provide Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner (champagne and all!) * Prepare your New Year's Day Brunch!

We can't wait to see you here!

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." 

~Dr. Seuss

You may be thinking "How can I help?"   
Here is one small way:

Take excellent care of yourself this month!

I am bet that many people depend on you. If you run yourself ragged, simmer in stress, weaken your immune system, don't get enough sleep, don't eat healthfully between holiday parties, don't get any focused exercise and don't take time (even an hour or two) just for yourself... well then who will take care of everything else?

 

It's easier said than done, and I know first hand how quickly I can get into poor self-care habits. Think of it like this: You deserve to be treated at least as well as you treat your friends and family. Take care of your self and they will treat you better, too!
