I love, love, love this time of the year.
It brings with it a sense of peace and unconditional love that the rest of the year cannot lay claim to.

It’s like every worry, every fear, all indecision falls away at Christmas.

It’s about spreading goodwill, love and laughter to young and old, family, friends and complete strangers.

I’m what my siblings would describe as “old school” and have to say I wear that badge proudly.
Some things just aren’t the same when they are put through the remix mill… I’m sure you will agree 🙂

Today, I want to share Christmas carols that I hope will make your heart smile and more importantly, see you reaching out to those who cross your path during this season.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Stay fabulous and favoured xxx

There’s an advert where a child asks her grandmother: “What did you do for fun?” And the grandmother responds: “We cooked and baked.”

I always imagine what my response would be if I was ever asked that question…

I’d probably offer two words: I write.

It’s true. I write when I’m happy. I write when I’m sad. I write when I think I’ve got the best story to share. A large chunk of my work involves writing or playing with words as I like to say. Yes, I call it playing with words because it’s such fun.

I was actually thinking about how I ended up in the writing world… I mean I once wanted to be a nun. I kid you not. When I realised that I’m not convent material, I then thought about being a social worker… I thought I could save the world. Sigh.

Only heaven knows how I ended up writing for a living. Not that I’m complaining. I quite enjoy what I do; except for the times when writer’s block kicks in.

So what is it about writing that I love so much?

Mmmm….
Stop.
Pause.
And go….

When I write, it allows me to:

· Talk – if there was an award for someone who talks up a storm, I’d get it.
· Be authentic
· Share experiences
· Share thoughts
· Share lessons – the good and the not so good.
· Help others – directly or indirectly
· Learn more about myself
· Learn about what makes others tick
· Experience a sense of fulfillment that words cannot explain
· Experience a sense of freedom that comes with allowing your thoughts to rain down
· Experience the excitement that comes with seeing a simple sentence grow
· Find different ways of saying something
· Interact with others
· Learn from these interactions
· Feel like I can connect with complete strangers
· Take a trip down memory lane
· Smile at the recollection of a moment
· Cry and let go of situations/people
· Evolve… move closer to my purpose

Thank you for taking the time to read.

The most beautiful time…

Have you ever had one of those days when you feel like you are going to burst with excitement?
Yip, I’m having one of those.

As clichéd as it sounds, this is my most favourite time of the year.
The kid in me is unleashed and there’s an indescribable sense of peace and love.

I choose to be around those on a mission to spread good cheer.
I choose to make an effort to make a difference in at least one person’s life.
I choose to sing Christmas songs at the top of my voice. Even though I can’t hold a note 😉

No sweating the small stuff.
No space or place for negative Nancy and co.

No time for anything other than spreading goodwill… to be around family, friends and complete strangers who embrace the beauty and wonder of this time.

If you need to get your mojo back, here’s something to trigger the child within.

I hope these tunes will get your foot tapping, maybe even a whistle and make your heart smile.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
