Merry Christmas (and happy other holidays)

[abckids 0]

I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I know that this time of year is when everyone sometimes struggles with the proper thing to say to others from culturally diverse backgrounds - so I wanted to be the first to say that my background supports Christianity and I wanted to officially say Merry Christmas.

For those of you who Celebrate Hanukkah, I wanted to say Happy Hanukkah.

For those of you who celebrate Kwanzaa - I want to say Happy Kwanzaa.

While I don't know of any other holidays coming up - if you have a holiday that I have not mentioned - please know that I have well wishes for you on your special day (or days).

This is also the time when the evil comes out of the woodwork - um.. fat cells - per se. The yearning and longing for the sweet Cookies and cakes, rich eggnog and oh so yummy muffins, crepes, and other succulent Desserts. Be strong - enjoy but a few and exercise your butt off after the new year. Don't make new year resolutions you won't keep (everyone I have ever made - never stuck for long).

Make life changing decisions now, don't wait for a special day to give you the right time to do it.

:pIf it is good enough for you to do it next week - then it is even better to do today!

I have a great story to share - but I have to finish writing it so I will post it on here when I am finished writing it ... it called my personal journey to health and each one of you are a very important character in my story - the support that you have offered and friendship is more than I could have ever expected from my fellow banded sisters and brothers.

I can't wait to share in your own story when you are finished writing yours as well.

Anyways - I may not be on for the next few weeks/days or so because of the holidays but please know my thoughts and cheers are with you always and I hope you have the best of the best everyday not just during the holidays - so God bless you and yours and I hope you have a wonderful day ....

TODAY!
