Holiday InformationThanksgivingI was not planning to write this article. Instead, I was going to publish an article about integrity. It has been on my mind this last week and I was planning to share some thoughts about it. Then, I received an email from Jim Donovan, one of the regular contributors to my Prosperity Paradigm eZine, and it inspired me to write once again about the magical power of gratitude. Experience Mothers Day In A Whole New WayMother's Day is the day when sons, daughters and husbands buy gifts and flowers to recognize the incredible work mom has done raising the children. But some moms are unknowingly cheating themselves out of the full experience of Mother's Day. Many moms treat Mother's Day as a completely external experience when Mother's Day could be about so much more than just the well-deserved flowers and gifts.Just Gifts & Flowers May Not Make Mother's Day SpecialAll the gifts and flowers in the world will not make Mother's Day special unless you, Mom, are making Mother's Day a truly special day. Make this Mother's Day a truly special Mother's Day by recapturing that wonderful feeling of anticipation you felt before your child's birth and that incredible feeling of elation you felt when your child was born. Embrace the feelings you felt when you held your baby for the first time. And then reflect upon the special moments you felt as your child developed into the wonderful son or daughter you have today. Do you feel that welling up of emotion when you think about your child in this way? Feels good; doesn't it?Make This Mother's Day Special by Sharing Your FeelingsNow that you have these special feelings on Mother's Day, share them with your child. If your child lives too far away to visit, then experience these memories and feelings as you speak with your child on the phone. If your child is close enough to visit, then recapture these feelings while you are with them. Tell your child how you felt as you prepared for their arrival and how you felt on that incredible day when they were born. Then tell your child about the special childhood memories you cherish and why those memories are so special to you. End the conversation by telling your child how much you love who they have become and how they have made your life so much more complete.This Mother's Day Will Have More Meaning When You Share Your FeelingsBy experiencing Mother's Day in this way, you may feel you are doing all the work when this day is supposed to be the day you don't lift a finger. But experiencing Mother's Day in this way will give back far more than you give. You will feel so alive this Mother's Day that the gifts and flowers will have more meaning for you and your children. You will remember what is important in life. You will make this Mother's Day a truly special Mother's Day by experiencing it both inside and out. Gods Gift to You... MomHave you ever thought what you would have done without your Mother? Then why is it Mom's are usually the low woman on the totem pole? God thought enough of us to give us an earthly Guardian Angel and so many times, more than we could truthfully count this is the person we lash out at the most with the excuse it's OK it's only Mom. Thinking of the old clich� "we always hurt the one we the love the most" truly believing that all is forgiven... Mom's tough she can handle it... Mom knows deep down that I really don't mean it... well, Mom's don't know that. Mothers Day is coming-Dont Blow It!Mother?s Day is May 8th. And, you do realize all of the things that the Mom in your life has done for you and your family, right? Then you must know that a bouquet of flowers and card, though very sweet, are not all it takes to make Mother?s Day a true holiday. Gift Wrapping IdeasIf you're tired of your gifts looking like everyone else's, put some creative thought to it. Gifts don't have to just be paper and ribbon that you bought at the store. Let some of these ideas inspire you. Holiday Promotion TipsAre you ready for Mother's Day? Yes I realize it's still a week or two away, but if you haven't started your Mother's Day promotions yet it might already be too late. I know of one company that has completely sold out of their big Easter product 3 weeks prior to Easter (yes completely sold out!). So if you haven't done so already, work up some Mother's Day promotions and start contacting your previous customers and lists. Buying Jewelry for Mother?s Day or How To Buy The Perfect Gift for Mom Without Getting Ripped OffJewelry can be the perfect gift for mom on Mother?s Day, but there are pitfalls, especially if you rush at the last minute. Procrastination and a lack of knowledge can be rewarded with overpaying for a piece of jewelry or even worse, being ripped-off. Gifts: What Do You Give A Couch Potato?So you know someone who likes to "veg out" in front of the TV and you're looking for a gift for him or her. There are three ways you could go with your gift idea. Is Buying a Gift for Mom as Difficult for You as it is for Me?I have walked through a countless number of stores searching for a Mother's Day gift and I always see the same things. A nice blouse, a trinket for the kitchen, or perhaps a bottle of perfume (do they all smell the same to you too, or is it just me?). After three stores I am tired and frustration begins to set in. Preparing For the Holidays: Ho Ho Ho... or Bah Humbug!Some of my clients dread the holiday season because it often represents stress, pressure, expectations, guilt, disappointment, pain, loneliness, exhaustion... and the list goes on. Tis The SeasonI was listening to one of my favorite radio talk programs today. The topic of the hour was ?do you feel burdened by Christmas?? Much to my amazement the host, and the majority of his guests, spent the better part of an hour whining and moaning about the burdensome nature of the holiday season. ?I hate being with my relatives.? ?Why do I have to spend all this money on presents for people I don?t like?? ?There?s too much pressure!? ?The traffic in the stores is ridiculous.? It went on and on and on! Single During the HolidaysMistletoe. Holiday parties. New Years kiss at midnight. This time of year can be challenging for singles. With such an emphasis on family togetherness and couples exchanging heart-felt gifts, it?s hard not to hear the message ? the holidays are not for me. Importance of ThanksgivingThanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year. Youre How Old?!?"Well, Happy Birthday! How old are you anyway?" Mothers Day, Do You Know What Youre Giving The Woman Who Gave You Life?Mother?s Day, Do you know what you?re giving the woman who gave you life?by DeAnna Spencer
