MaXIMIze - Celebrate The Season

Wow - I did not realize I have not posted for the last two weeks! The first week was due to illness and last week was due to traveling. My dear friend is moving three states away, and I was helping him house hunt last weekend.

His upcoming move and the fact that my darling daughter will not be home for Christmas this year reminds me that time is passing and we have to celebrate the Season when we can as we can.

Even with all that has gone on in the world in the last few weeks, I still believe - perhaps more than ever - that we are all human beings first, and all else comes second. We need to acknowledge and celebrate our similarities, not focus on our differences!

So, whatever this Season means to you, celebrate!

Next week, I will wrap up with a review of the last year and a look at what next year is bringing for this blog.

Until then, Namaste!

MaXIMIze - Gratefully Celebrate

Right now, I am gratefully celebrating the sound of a quiet house - no TV, no talking, just the sound of the appliances humming along. It is a cold - not quite 50 degrees according to the thermometer on the balcony - clear day, and the remaining autumn colors are enjoying the last bit of glory before they hit the ground and are turned into mulch.

This past week, I gratefully celebrated family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States.

And today, as I went out to do the first round of grocery shopping for the week, I gratefully celebrated the sound of Christmas music on the radio again, with new renditions of old classics serenading me out and back.

And, as I do every time I post to this blog, I gratefully celebrate you, the readers - new and continuing - and hope that what I have posted here helps you gratefully celebrate your best life now.

One of the endeavors I am working on for the new year is a series of classes on Udemy. As soon as I get the first one fully developed and posted, I will let you know how you can register for it.

So, I am also gratefully celebrating the opportunity and ability to master new skills in order to more fully share my gifts and vision with you and the rest of the world.

If there are topics I have covered in this blog that you would like to see more fully developed in one of these classes, please e-mail me here.

I may put up a survey later on the MaXIMIze Facebook page to gather ideas as well.

Next week we will be fully in our month of Celebration!

Until next time, Namaste!
