The Best Gift You Can Give This Holiday Season
Let’s be totally, completely, unashamedly honest with each other, ok? We love to get gifts! Notice I said “we”? I’m talking about each and every one of us, no exceptions. I know I’m not alone when it comes to enjoying the thrill of ripping open wrapping paper, yanking out all that decorative tissue stuff (really, what’s that all about?) and feasting my eyes on…a pair of socks…or a tie…or, worse yet, the dreaded sweater. Honestly, I’m still a little kid inside, and any gift I receive that can be worn, folded or hung in a closet is kind of a bummer.
But I digress—just the act of opening a gift can change your chemical makeup, even just for an instant. The whole mystery of what’s in the box never gets old! That’s just one of the reasons why I love this time of year! Before you get the image that I’m selfish, you should know I love giving gifts, too! I get the warm and fuzzies whenever I see the recipient’s eyes light up, especially when that receiver is my daughter. Want to know the best gift you could possibly give this Christmas? It’s not expensive, doesn’t need gift wrapped and, best of all, it can literally change someone’s life!
Oh, and if you read all the way to the end, my gift to you is sharing a secret as to how you can experience the thrill of giving in a totally new, absolutely free way! [Read more…] about The Best Gift You Can Give This Holiday Season
