A Holiday Act in Gratitude of Your Clients
\’\’
Perhaps this idea inspires you?
For the past two years I’ve given a monetary gift to charity in gratitude of the client relationships I’ve cultivated. I sent this festive note to my clients this holiday season:
Exploring with the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future
Our past, the present, and our unwritten future, and what we think of them, they tend to haunt us now and again.
If your ghosts happen to visit this holiday season (or any time), why not invite them in and explore with them. They have much to teach us when we are open to acknowledging them and adapting to their presence.
Learning From the Past: The Ghost of Who You Were
Whether you’re a fan of change or not, you aren’t the same person as you were. You’ve changed. You’ve grown.
Your visions of the past can be one of your chief assets. They can tell you about Who You Are now, what you want, what you don’t want, what you like and what you don’t.
Who You Were can show you that the good stuff and the bad stuff have helped to shaped you equally.
How you remember Who You Were is yours to choose. It can be your chain, it can be your springboard, it can be whatever you desire.
Being With the Present: The Ghost of Who You Are
Only in this very moment are you present. Only in the now are you Who You Are.
Your mind, your thoughts, keep you in the past, or… race you to the future. It is only in the place of feeling, of acting on instinct, that you are present and You.
Before you can think it, you must feel it. Notice the feelings. Who You Are creates Who You Will Be.
Playing With the Future: The Ghost of Who You Will Be
The future is unwritten and it’s yours to create. Who You Will Be is altered in the present, through your choices.
In allowing your decisions to come from within, you’ll find order emerging from your creative choices. Your future can be whatever you envision — if you make choices that support Who You Are.
Don’t allow limited views to restrict your visions. Who You Will Be is yours to design.

Choosing My Own Adventures
Our soul – it thrives on adventure.
Adventure is a nutrient. We need it.
When we ignore our desire for adventure, we ignore our very nature.
It’s not a frivolity.
Sometimes, usually when I am leaving for a trip, I think about my adventure and it’s costs, and I question if I need to be less self-serving, less self-ish, and not take the risk.
I wonder if I should be more ‘adult’ or more ‘disciplined’. I wonder what’s wrong with me that I need to explore the world.
But then the adventure begins and I quickly remember why THIS matters as much as my ‘hard work’.
I, You, Us humans, we need to woo, excite and refresh our Self. We need to experience falling deeper in love with our Self and our World.
We need the feeling of relinquishing control and let the unknown unfold. We need to see that what we are truly capable of.
Baja California set my heart on fire.
My passion is fueled. I am so thankful I choose to feed my Self with such delicious desert beauty.
Now, I can feel, see, that without my adventures my work would not be possible.
In creating my unique dance with creativity and commerce it’s necessary that I give my creativity the full attention it sometimes needs.
Be a good animal, trust your instincts. – D.H. Lawrence
