Good Afternoon and Happy Thursday! I hope you are just as excited as me for December! I don't know about you, but Christmas is always a fun time, and I will say as I've grown older, I have more and more realized the magic that comes with giving over receiving. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy receiving, but seeing someone else open a gift that you've picked out just for them, seeing one's face light up in happiness, ah.

Also, it would be wrong of me not to recognize that for some, Christmas and the holiday season is a lonely time of year, for a variety of reasons. Obviously, if this speaks to you, I would encourage you to find a friend or to make plans. And look, you don't have to live in a particular country, be of a particular faith or whatever, to join in celebrating and enjoying the day - just look at all the Americans who think they are Irish on Saint Patrick's Day! I mean, all you need is a green t-shirt to have a good time, I mean, you don't even need friends as you can go out and make friends! So yes, my message to you is to make a friend(s), call a friend, call a family member you haven't talked to in awhile, and don't let this Christmas and holiday season be blah - feel me?

So yes, despite all the naughty that comes from this page, I also want to bring much good and inspiration to your life! I know that sounds so fake, but seriously, it is crazy the amount of time and pride I put into my craft. You wouldn't believe it, but I often feel so guilty when I don't post a daily message and often times it is not because I don't want to say anything, rather I don't feel I have anything prolific or enlightening or worthwhile to say and share with you. I also feel so, whatever, if I wish you the same message, though do know, the spirit of what I say is always there - in that I want you to have a good day, I want you to be the positive change the world needs (and that's not saying go change the world, more so cheer up someone you see at the store, or whatever, make one person's day better and then hopefully that person will go home and tell someone else about it which will inspire that person to do something, etc. etc.). You see where this goes?

It is funny as I wrote I was reminded of a video that I'd love to share with you...

Anyway, as you can see, I'm getting bigger, LoL, and to think I still have more to grow!

XoXo,
