9 Days to Christmas: Sense of Humour
By now, you might be on your way to the family. Be very sure that the first thing you pack is your sense of humour.

We live in a world where we have accepted that to be excelling, to be beautiful, to be loving, to be powerful, we must compare ourselves to what we are being "sold" as perfect.
You are here now to be you. Your success lies in your authenticity. Your beauty lies in your special kind of caring. Your love lies in your eyes that see love and beauty everywhere. That is special to you.
Once you accept that your every action of every day, starting with yourself, is your special gift to us, you will desire nothing more but to be authentically you.
You are unique. You are needed. You are perfect. You do not know how important you are in the lives of the people you meet daily.
Show up for yourself, and then be true to the love you are, in service of the "world". You might make a difference in one person's life, but you might never know how your love, through that one person might affect a million, who might affect a billion.
You might just be the first step. Will you show up for yourself, being successful, and beautiful as you?
