Crazy to think this year is coming to an end, I know it’s just the standard passage of time but for me at least it has flown by.

Yesterday I was doing my final bit of Christmas shopping and made a small realisation when it came to how I was feeling. After I had bought all the presents I needed to, I noticed how I had completely forgot about the fact that people would be buying me presents as well.

Somehow it had slipped my mind that is how the whole celebration works. The best thing was that I didn’t really care what I got, in reality I was going to be glad regardless, even if I wasn’t thrilled about what I received. The reason for that is gratitude, how could I ever be caught up in the trap on not getting what I want, when in reality I already have so much to be grateful for.

I know it may sound sappy, but I do think that. This time of year is a moment of gift giving and celebration but it is also a great time to remind yourself of all the presents (tangible and intangible) that you already have. This is a good practice anytime of the year but there is something to the whole end of year vibe that makes it even more of a productive activity.

So, what I recommend is to do a stock take of your life and ask yourself what are you grateful for in your life. Then after that, ask what are you excited for in the new year.

It just might be the best present anyone can give, but the thing is the only person who can bestow it is yourself. It doesn’t even cost anything to do, how sweet is that?

Big shout to all my Hedites out there, loving the energy you send my way. It’s been a honor to share what I have with you all this year. I still have to release my December short story, release tomorrow’s video and next week’s posts. But don’t worry, everything will come out as normal; next year will be a big one for you and me but I’m excited for the changes.

Keep in touch!!!
