As I was making pumpkin pies with my daughter today I was telling her how important it is to mix the ingredients in the order that the recipe states. If you mix the milk in before the spices then it’s impossible to truly blend the spices into the mixture. The pies end up looking a little odd as the spices collect on the top of the pie, looking rather spotted.
You might wonder how I know about this great mystery of life.

Well, I did it. This weekend I sent out 3 Christmas cards. No, it’s not because I’m being efficient and getting cards done early. I sent the cards with an additional note letting some of my relatives know we won’t be at the big family Christmas party this year.
You’ve heard me talk about making choices and about communication, well, this is how those things play out and what it feels like as they do.

When you think about Christmas, or any holiday for that matter, do you just duck your head in the sand and hope it will just pass you by? Many people do this, thinking they will wait until they can’t avoid it any longer and then they just drag themselves through the preparations and the celebrations, hoping they can survive until the bitter end.
The sad thing about this scenario is that the Christmas ostrich creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How do you feel when someone is looking over your shoulder? It can be great when you are sharing something. It can be annoying when you feel like they’re crowding you. And it can be the perfect thing to keep you on track to make whatever changes you want to make.
