Inspiration Monday

My inspiration today comes from Starbucks, from their holiday campaign this year. The theme was Wish and it made me smile every time I went into the store (which was a few time too many).

We invite you to listen to your desires and renew your hope. To see the world not as it is, but as it could be. Go ahead, WISH. It's what makes the holidays the Holidays.

(taken from side of their holiday bags )

I love it! This holiday, wish. No limits, just wish. Put your wishes onto a layout, onto a canvas, into your journal, write them on a stickie for your fridge, just get them out!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

See you in 2010!

Inspiration Monday

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?

It came without ribbons. It came without tags.

It came without packages, boxes or bags.

And he puzzled and puzzled ‘till his puzzler was sore.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.

What if Christmas, he though, doesn’t come from a store?

What if Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more?
Dr. Seuss

As we approach the holidays and find ourselves pushing through all the hustle & bustle, running from one store to the next, from one event to the next, think of this quote. Take some time to reflect on why we celebrate this day. Have fun, enjoy the process of getting ready for the holidays and remember that perhaps Christmas doesn't come from a store.
