Helping Hands Are a Great Gift Idea

You can give so many gifts and spend a lot of money on the holidays this year.  However some of the best gifts you can give don't cost a thing.   Volunteering and giving a helping hand can be one of the most rewarding things you can do.  Go help out at a soup kitchen or help someone fix their home that is in desperate need of repair.  You can even deliver meals to those that can't get out of their house.  When you do this as a couple you really form a bound that is special for the two of you.  This holiday look for a way the two of you can help out those less fortunate than you and give that gift.

Did I Just Get a Cheeseburger?? I Only Order TEA!

It is true that we can get so wrapped up in other things that we don't even notice what we are eating or for that matter what the waiter or counter person even gives us.  Below I am reposting a brief post I wrote a while back about a good friend of mine who experienced this quite to her surprise :)  

Sometimes we are just plain mindless!  We get so wrapped up in other things in our minds that we go on autopilot.  What happened at the office?  What are we having for dinner tonight?  What do I still need to pick up at the store?  I wonder what homework the kids will have?  What time do they have guitar practice and cheer practice again?  Oh, shoot, I didn't pick up little Joey's guitar from home!

Today I was visiting with a friend when she shared just such a moment with me.  She stops every day and gets an iced tea from a local drive through.  Yesterday she pulled away and thought to herself, "Oops, they didn't give me a straw."  She had extras in the car so it wasn't an issue.  In a couple of minutes she thought, "Why does my car smell like food?"  With her extra straw in the cup she took a sip only to be surprised that it was soda and not tea.  Then she looked over in the passenger seat and saw a bag of food from the restaurant.  She was amazed that she could have been so zoned out and on serious autopilot that she took the bag of food from the drive through employee without even noticing.  

It makes for a good laugh later, but it can also be a good wake up.  Being mindful in our daily lives is not always easy, but we miss so much when we allow ourselves to become mindless instead :)  And, you know as well as I do that we all fall into the mindless category at times.  The key is try to be mindful more than mindless.

Using Candle Light as Sexy Decoration

Before the technology of electric lights became available, people use to decorate for Christmas with candles.  We know there is a safety factor that comes with candles that most of us don't want to have to worry about.  However their is something romantic about candle light and the flicker it gives off.  It changes the whole mood of the room.  Companies have figured this out and have created flameless candles where the light is soft and flickers like that of a candle.  So know you can have the best of both worlds.  There is nothing like the flicker of soft candle light that is safe.  I feel sexier already.

Brian Setzer a Great Christmas Musician

Brian Setzer is one of my very favorite artists to listen to at Christmas time.  He breaks away from the soft and mellow sounds of normal Christmas Carols and rocks out with them.  One of my all time favorites is his duet with Ann Margret on Baby it's Cold Outside.   Play a copy of that to get things heated up during the holiday season.

For God's Sake Don't Do That!!

Have you ever encountered people who want to rush off to another country because "those poor people don't know who God is!"?  They want to go on "missions" to "save those poor people!"  Really!!!!!  Usually I am a person filled with love, compassion, and respect for others, but when people believe their way is the only way and that all others will perish if not saved, I feel a bile rise in my throat.

How is it that people can believe themselves to be loving, non-judgemental, and spreading (their) God's "word" when they believe that others must follow their religion or else.  They believe that their "God", their "religion" is the only way.  These are the people that I truly feel sad for -- not the native peoples of those foreign countries that "don't know Christianity's God" or so many others who have different traditions and follow different religions. 

The important thing is to feel a connection to your spirituality - however that works for you!!!  We are spiritual beings having a human experience.  The Divine presence, the Universe, God, the Supreme Being, the collective unconscious, the Higher Power, etc. does not punish.  It/he/she/they are PURE LOVE....which includes the beauty of our world and nature's magnificent power - yes, that includes tsunamis too.  We still feel sadness for those who suffer and we should most certainly be there for them and help them, but don't blame God or Mother Nature or anything else.  This is life....live it, experience it, learn from it, and open your heart to your spiritual connection.  There are as many paths to enlightenment, nirvana, Home, Heaven, etc. as their are souls.  

Smile today and feel the love of All and for All!
