Bah Humbug.

I was having a bah humbug kind of day ... felt a little overwhelmed by all the Christmas hype and such... mostly the stress of trying to pull it all together.

I found myself day dreaming and saw myself in front of a fire place in a snowy cabin in the woods full of beautiful trees and mountains for miles ... (I was in my PJs with munchies and a pile of sappy love movies.) Alas, that dream didn't last long ...Back to reality.

I took my own advice ... Enjoy the little moments that matter!

No time for 'bah humbugs' or day dreaming!
After all, it's the most wonderful time of the year! So much to be thankful for ... so much to celebrate so much love to share.

PS: Today is a gift. Live and Love it one moment at a time.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, YOU are not ALONE!

Woke up today feeling a little overwhelmed. I'll spare you the 'busy' details of my life - time has taught me that some days are like this. You wake up and the to-do list is ultra long and the horizon is filled with too much to be done (it seems).

I've learned that the best thing to do (for me), is to slow down! Even a half hour can do wonders!

Here's a few things I do:

I blog. I visit Etsy or Pinterest online. I read quotes. I listen to music. I bake something. I write a thank you note or touch base with a friend. I say a prayer and ask for clarity.

Mostly, I try to do a little nurturing of my soul before I jump back into the fast pace. The slowing down moments give me just the rejuvenation I need to be my best self and accomplish the to-dos ahead.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. It's part of being alive! 

Give yourself permission to have a little 'time out' and before you know it, you'll be back in the day feeling ready to GO!
