The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and the world is to be our unique, authentic and beautiful selves. To express ourselves with love, truth and integrity. Can you imagine if we all allowed our light to shine and connected with the brightness and joy in our hearts? What a difference that would make. I'm not saying we should override any anger, sadness or other challenging emotions, indeed I encourage us all to explore such things deeply. Yet, beyond these things there is an ever shining light within us all.
Whatever we do to express our truth doesn't need to be big, dramatic or difficult, infact it is more about how we are being, than anything we do. It can begin with small and simple changes, as Ghandi said "Be the change you would like to see in the world"
This festive season, why not give more of yourself. Share a smile or a word of gratitude with someone you meet. Spend more quality time with family and friends. Tell the people you love what they mean to you and why you appreciate them. Notice nature and the beauty of the world around you and find the gratitude in your heart. Breathe deep. Let go of the shoulds and obligations that can be prevalent this time of year, what feels right for you? What serves you and thus those around you best? What brings you most joy - express that right now.

While I don't advocate cloning, perhaps prioritising our time and energy on what is of true value might be a more fitting aspiration, I thought this advertisement was fun and showed what is important not only at Christmas but the whole year through. The greatest gift that I can give is me! How do you want to spend your time this festive season? What do you feel to give to the world?
Keep shining!
With love, gratitude and best wishes for the festive season,
