7 Ways to Light Up Your Life at the Holidays

Write something special for your family
Make up a jingle, poem or letter to your children, grandchildren and close relatives that celebrates your holiday and celebrates them.

Make a list of eight intangible gifts you can give to others
The intangibles are positive intrinsic qualities that are your natural gifts. For example, qualities could be kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Do Kind Deeds
You can create miracles in the lives of others by finding ways to help. It could be through a note, hand made gift, doing a chore for them, or just give them your listening ear.

Set an example
Teach others what you are learning. Share it with others at the holidays and all year long.

Find a favorite holiday recipe
If you don’t like to cook, get some help or make it a project. Have a party, where several people bring the same thing and you can all share.

Practice self-care during this busy time
Take out time to exercise, learn something new or practice a new skill, and do something that brings you personal joy. When your cup of joy is filled, it’s so much easier to bring joy to others.

Make a list of miracles in your life
Think about last year during the holiday season and miracles that have come into your life since then. It could be from the birth of a child or grandchild to a big “thank you” from someone close to you.


Patricia's Pics of the Month

I am excited to introduce EvanLEE Organics
to my friends and colleagues!

After years of research and development 24:45 Organic Super Grow System have developed a 100% organic grow system that will produce the best tasting, healthiest, and fastest growing produce available. Grow and eat fresh organic produce year round while enjoying the many health benefits of being organic.

This indoor grow rack system uses terraponics, not hydroponics or aquaponics to grow plants 25% - 75% faster than supplier estimates. There are some plants that you can't grow hydroponically, but with terraponics almost any plant can be grown. While hydroponics requires technical knowledge and training, terraponics needs minimum instruction.

Nothing tastes better than fresh cut produce. Imagine growing your own organic lettuce in the dead of winter. Imagine eating that fresh, crisp lettuce that you grew with very little effort. These grow racks makes this possible and let's your household grow food year round. They are being used in colleges, schools, senior centers, hospitals, and food service facilities among others.
