Trust Your Gut

My best advice is to trust your gut. Also, dare to have the audacity to believe in yourself. I believe we all know, to some extent, our purpose. I think many of us have just gotten really good at minimizing that purpose or not believing in ourselves.

We must lean in to the voice that says we can. Lean in to the voice that says, I believe in you. Lean in to that little by little, and you’ll start to hear that sound of the drumbeat that is your power. And when you can hear that hum, you will know you’re in line with your purpose. Listen for that drumbeat. – Tunde Oyeneyin

Spirtiual Reflection

“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth. For nothing is more precious than the life force and may the love of that force guide you as you go.” – Patti Smith

Awe

Awe and mindfulness are related in the sense that both involve a heightened state of awareness and present-moment focus.

Remember that incorporating awe into your daily life can enhance well-being, foster creativity, broaden perspective, and deepen social connections. We want to encourage you to continue to find more moments that inspire a sense of awe within you even when you are not on a wandering walk. These moments can be found in various aspects of life, such as nature, art, relationships, and personal growth. Embrace each awe-inspiring moment and let them guide you and fulfill a sense of wonder.

Don’t Overstay Your Welcome

Staying at a cocktail party too long may indicate you’re having a great time, but it can be inconsiderate to the host.

If the host indicated an ending time on the invite, that means it’s time to leave when that time comes. If no ending time is suggested, etiquette expert Thomas P. Farley suggests staying aware of some clues. For instance, if coffee and dessert have been served and cleaned up, the host turns off the music, most guests have gotten their coats and left, or the host’s partner says goodbye and goes to bed, the event is over. 

Farley also says to be aware of if the host starts speaking about the event in the past tense, like “It was so wonderful seeing everyone tonight.”

Gift Wrap

When you’re in the throes of the holiday rush, buying gifts can feel like a practical task — so much so that you forget that gift-giving is ultimately a symbolic ritual, meant to express appreciation for others. And wrapping them? Well, that often feels like just another chore. But even a smidge of extra effort can make the gift — and the recipient — feel extra special.

Newspaper or magazines: Choose pages with colorful images or interesting articles. Instead of plastic ribbon, opt for recycled twine for a chic look that’s also biodegradable.

Fabric scarps – Check your linen closet for old pillowcases, table clothes and sheets you are no longer singing. Then wrap gifts with these fabric scraps.

Reusable bags – Give two gifts in one by placing gifts in a stylish yet functional bag. Buy a tote packing cube or toiletry case.


Glam it up“It could be as simple as an ornament from your tree, or a sprig from your wreath, or go out in the garden and pick a stick of rosemary, which adds a scent as well,” says Alton DuLane
