Magic of the Season


For me, living in a home with small children renews the magic of the holiday season exponentially. They look around and see the magic and the surprise and their energy is infectious.Their wonder and joy at the lights and magic in the air reminds us of the beauty of life, that we each have just this one time, this one chance, to live and share and give and love.

I am reminded that the holidays are a time to give thanks, to show my love and appreciation for those I am fortunate to have in my life. They are a time to celebrate this gift of life and to reflect on what we have accomplished and what we will accomplish in the year and years ahead. To set the framework now to ensure the best for the year ahead, to learn from the year that is falling behind, and to find joy in the life that we live.

It is a wonderful time to reflect and reinforce what we want our lives to mean and what we want our lives to be remembered for once we are gone. I meet many different people in my life, and those I am fortunate to have the chance to work with reinforce for me this idea that we want to share our lives and share our love with all those we are connected to for as long as we can.
