It’s the Little Things – December

2013-12-18 By Monica 2 Comments

It's the Little Things

The holiday season is in full swing and winter has arrived in the Northwest. It can be a hectic and stressful time of year which is all the more reason to take a minute, slow down, and savor life’s little things. December has been about trying new things for me – a new yoga studio, Argentinian Tango lessons with my husband, hanging mistletoe, a holiday party, and my new favorite winter pick-me-up – a juice called, “Here Comes the Sun.” It’s made with oranges, carrots, ginger, and chia seeds. It really does feel like sunshine on a chilly, wet, Portland day. I’m also writing my first eBook! I plan to share it with you in early January. It’s about designing your dream life and it’s a step-by-step guide for you to design, plan, and create the life you’ve always imagined.

We also just completed Marley’s first puppy training program, you can see him pictured above with his little graduation hat. As I become more present, I really come to appreciate those moments. It’s the little things that make life so grand. Take time to notice the little things in your life. What are your “little things?”

Here are a few more things that make life grand – thoughtful blog posts and articles from around the web and of course, great books. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Happy Holidays from Me to You!
