Sidenote: I've started posting topics that come up outside of the newsletter time periods on my blog/facebook and will do so on twitter in the new year. For those of you interested in retrogrades, moon cycles, etc. you may wish to check these out from time to time or subscribe.

This month has a bit of rapid fire energy to it so we may wish to look closely at a few aspects of our own situations from relationships to business situations and ensure our quick responses are actually the best ones for us. Deliberate thinking and tempered actions are going to be more highly rewarded than quick, off the cuff thinking this month.

Also, with mercury retrograde completing it's shadow period now (while it went directly technically the 26th of November, the shadow continues through the 3rd or 4th of December),

The holidays are a time of joy, and also for many, of inner conflict. While everyone has a unique situation, for many, there is at least one family member, friend or other individual we have a challenging time communicating with at the holidays.

Perhaps it is a sibling that we have a history with and have challenges breaking patterns or a friend who at the holiday's we have our annual argument with, or perhaps our relationship with our spouse becomes strained as we deal with our unique and combined family situations that bring out all of our childhood dramas.

Many know, I inherited a chocolate chip cookie condition from my family line, it's genetic, I deal with it ;-)

So when I get a hankering (love that word) for them, I look for the healthiest option I can, this is one I like. Hope you do too!

Considering getting a session or course certificate for a holiday gift?

Here are a few other empowered options for gift giving from The Empowerment Centre. Many have been inspired by client's requests over the years.

Sometimes it takes time for people to see the fruition of their thinking manifesting around them. Often the world has changed but we forget to clean our lenses.

I look around the world and see more and more people focused on what matters theses days. I surround myself with people who are more interested in the love of others than the monetarial gifts. I see people volunteering to help those in need. I see open hearts sharing not because they receive anything in return, because their hearts are leading them. I see a world changing, and the more we focus on the common values of decency, kindness and generosity this season, the more we will see them in the eyes and actions of another.

May you feel the blessings all around you and remember you are both a part of it all and beautifully unique. And may you feel loved.

Blessings, love and joy,

Jenifer
