Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

What do the holidays mean to you?  

To me, the holidays mean love.  Love for myself and love for those people in my life that are dear to me.  

The best gift you can ever have is love and peace within yourself.  This is a gift only you can give yourself… it must come from within you.  

When it does, feeling love and joy and inner peace are within your control and not dependent on others….or what they do or what they say.  

You create your experiences by your thoughts and feelings.  Becoming aware of any negative thoughts you tell yourself which make you feel bad…these can be changed only by you.  Your thoughts attract like thoughts and your energy attracts your experiences.  

So catch those negative thoughts before they spiral and attract like thoughts and shape your experiences.  Don’t give them power.  They are not you.  They are not from a place of love.  They come from your fears, insecurities, past experiences and may even be tapes playing for many years since childhood.   

Because you are love.  You were born with love for yourself.  You were not born with these negative thoughts and beliefs…you learned them.  

It is not until you can feel the love and peace within yourself that you can freely and unconditionally give your love to others.  Love that can truly be felt by others as a loving energy rather than an energy of trying to control something or wanting an outcome.  You give love because you feel so much love within you and you desire to share it with others. 

I have not always had this self love and inner peace.  In fact, holidays were not always easy for me.  So I can really appreciate waking up today feeling a deep love within myself and a feeling of inner peace.  

I wish this for all of you too!  And you can absolutely have it!  Sending you lots of love and wishing you a beautiful holiday!
