How to Have the Holidays You've Always Wanted

​Mine is a practical sort of spirituality.
 
Once I suspect something isn’t working, I turn my attention to finding something that will make it work.
 
Case in point: the Starbucks cup debacle.  (Bear with me – I promise this will be enlightening, and not just a little bit humorous!)
I had had enough of the outrage about the cups not being Christmasy enough.  But I loved the creative responses people were posting instead.  So rather than sit there, settling for what was going on, I put on my creative cap, and came up with the Starbucks Game.
 
I called on my love of making graphics; I pulled in my desire for community and collaboration.  I used the things I know make me happy.

Then I had a ball taking requests, posting funnies, being just a little inspiring.  I bonded with my sister down in Georgia in a way we haven’t in a good, long while.  I like to think I made a few people smile.

I took a hullaballoo that was making people nuts, and made something positive for myself and the circle of people around me.
 
And, yes, Cthulhu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster were involved, but sometimes that’s how things have to go.
 
That’s what I want you to take away from this post. 
 
No, not Cthulhu!
 
It’s that you, too, have the power to make something positive out of something troublesome.
 
This holiday season you can calm the holiday “crazies” and have the holiday experience you’ve always hoped for.  How? Well, it takes awareness; it takes discernment; it takes having a plan.
 
This week I’m leading two calls that will support you in doing just this, and I’d be honored if you joined me. If you click on the images below, it'll take you right to the pages where you'll find all the information you need and instructions on how to get in on the calls - or get the recordings if you can't make it live.

And when those calls are done and over, and you're having a holiday experience that feels more in line with who you are, I invite you to come over to Facebook.  From December 9th through the Solstice on the 22nd, I'll be offering suggestions for reframing the season with a #SolsticeCountdown. (Be sure to set your FB setting to "Get Notifications" so you don't miss out on any of the goodness!)
