You Are The Light

With the name Holly you cannot even imagine the number of holiday socks, ornaments, trinkets, and cards I get. Let me begin by saying I am NOT a Christmas, or holiday baby either. I’m often telling people “Holly’s the name, holidays are the game.” I do happen to love the holidays. That time of year when everyone pretends to be happy, and joy filled. Yet when honest we all know that just beyond the surface of the Santa hats, menorahs and gifts is a little exhaustion, and fear.

As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season rapidly approaching and you feel the energy of exhaustion setting in remember you are the light. When you see the menorahs going up remember you do not have to be Jewish to recognize the light in you. As you witness the holiday trees full of colored lights and the homes in your neighborhood going up on the houses remember you are One in that light.

At the holidays we do not even have the opportunity to do nothing. We must remember we are One in our one-ness as a spirit. May you enjoy a holiday season just a little less stressful this year. In the spirit of Stop Doing Nothing, this season. Give yourself a little break. Take one thing off your “to do” list so you can simply be with the energy of love that surrounds the holiday season.

Let me know, what will you take off your “to do” list this year to simply become a little happier. Send me an email at: [email protected].

Me, I think I’ll take putting up that second tree off my to do list. One is probably enough.

Love and light,
Holly

5 Must-Read Favorites to Expand Your Successful Life

Summer is the easiest time of year to justify doing nothing. What you do each summer also defines the successful and the not so successful.

I find summer to be a great time to read and learn.

For me a balanced life is about growing in five areas mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial intelligence. So, I give you 5 books one for each area. I have read and loved these books. Each one has given me opportunity to educate myself, reflect, choose to change and have great conversations with others.

5 Must-Read Favorites To Expand Your Successful Life

Summer reading list:

Mental or business growth:
- Why by Simon Sinek

Physical growth:
- 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris

Emotional Growth:
- Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman

Financial Growth:
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Spiritual growth: So many books here I wish I could send you my entire library. Here is one of my recent favorites
- Future of God by Deepak Chopra

And a bonus short book:

The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price

This summer even if you feel your body, mind and spirit telling you to take a break.

Slow down and pick up one of my favorite books as a way to keep learning, laughing and loving the life you are creating for yourself.

Plant Your Purpose: 5 Things To Grow Your Life This Spring

Spring is finally here! April, our time for renewal, and planting seeds in the fertile soil. What if this year we really embraced planting new things as leaders? I invite you, this spring make a commitment to spring into Spirit at work.

“There is nothing to be healed only the truth to be revealed.” ~ Ernest Holmes

Let’s reveal spirit in our businesses as we surrender our work as peace, joy ease and love! PLANT These 5 Things this Spring and watch your garden grow …

P – Purpose, this spring re-commit to the company vision statement. If you cannot do this find a way to update the vision statement. Or choose to move to a company vision you can commit to.
L – Love – Make a commitment each day to love what you do. Love it or leave it. This world needs people who are alive. Spring into your life with love. Do one thing you love this month simply for the art of loving it.
A – Authenticity – Brene Brown made vulnerability and authenticity cool with her book The Gifts of Imperfection, this spring be yourself a little more fully. If you love to draw, draw something. Always wanted to take a cooking class, go for it. Be you just a little bit more and surround yourself with others doing the same thing.
N – Newness every spring we are invited to step into the new ness of nature when we see a daffodil the promise of a tulip or a bee flying by. Take this month and plant a new thought, belief or action in your life.
T – Trust every gardener who plants a seed has full trust it will bear fruit. They know that a carrot seed produces a carrot and a tomato plant will create tomatoes. What do you trust in? You may not even be aware you trust in your next breath. It’s always there, right? Plant a new seed of awareness in your life. Do you want more abundance; plant the idea of abundance in your mind. Want more health focus on the seeds of healthy eating and exercise this spring and summer.

As the sun returns and our days get longer so too does our energy to plant a garden, plant a planter box or plant something new in your life. I’m not so much a gardener, and I do love the harvest each fall. When you break down planting into these simple ideas purpose love, authentic, newness, and trust this is the kind of planting I could enjoy. Affirm the good in your business and more good will come to you.

We are one heart, and one mind. What will you plant this month to live the life of your dreams?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
