My Favorite things
Tune in and take a journey into the very heart of what makes the holidays truly special and then be sure to check out my newest book inspired by this show titled, The Gift: Daily Reminders of Life’s true Gifts. In the pages of this book you are invited to go on a journey to discover the gifts within yourself—no need to wait for someone else to unwrap them. These are the simple, timeless gifts found in everyday moments, waiting to be shared with the world.
It's not a complete guide, but rather a prompt for self-reflection. Use it as a starting point to unwrap life's precious gifts. Each chapter begins with a positive affirmation for your mind. Read, write, and personalize them as your own. At the end of each chapter, find a scripture as a spiritual anchor for those interested in exploring related spiritual gifts.
As you go through these pages, let them bring lightness and cheer, not for special occasions, but in every season of your life. My hope is that these simple reminders inspire you to unwrap the intangible gifts within yourself. Remember, some of the most valuable presents are free.
