The month of Christmas seems to make most of us nostalgic because of our wonderful past Christmas experiences.  The warmth of this season is generated because of the glow in children’s faces, anticipating the good that is soon to happen. It’s generated by mothers planning for sweet treats in her kitchen; by fathers, assembling gifts in secrecy to delight their kids. It’s generated by the multitude of bright lights stringing across the streets and up the trees.

My wish for you this month is that Love, Hope, Peace, and Joy are your experience, and my hope is that you can continue their experience into as many of the months of 2011 as you are able. It’s not about the clothes you have to wear.  It’s not about the money you have to spend or the car you have to drive.  It’s not about the neighborhood you live in.

It’s about the ideas you choose to think, to generate and to express.  Be the Change at Christmas!
