One of my favorite Christmas memories is when I was a little kid, our community hosted a Christmas Bazaar every year and it was filled with home made crafts and goodies. One year I saw a home made Raggedy Ann doll- I had to have it- it was so big and so beautiful. Her clothes were perfect. And it was $20 which was a lot of money 34 years ago. I kept asking my mom and she kept saying no. I felt desperate and terrible. I knew I was suppose to have that doll. I cried, then I tried to act grown up and pretend it didn’t matter, but my little heart was breaking.
When I woke up on Christmas- there she was- my Raggedy Ann doll. I was so happy and I kept that doll for years and years well into adulthood. It was a wonderful Christmas Surprise.
Coaching Tip: Be thankful for the blessings you have received in the past. When you feel thankful for a past event, you carry that wonderful feeling of appreciation with you all day. Appreciation is a beautiful energy and helps you be a magnet for positive things occurring in your life.
Enjoy your holidays, cherish every moment.
