Bonus idea: Your Legacy and Personal Holiday Journal
Consider recording your holiday memories of this year and years past in a particular journal that you share as a priceless keepsake filled with the magic and wonder. Ask for old photos and be sure to also get the backstory rich in detail such that you feel you are inside the picture. Tales
of what you have experienced over the years and inspiration for generations to come.
Does it sound like I’m suggesting you write a book? That’s exactly what I’m doing. But not just any book. Here’s your chance to preserve your history. You have the opportunity to be the catalyst of a whole new cherished tradition and a deeper connection with your loved ones.
As you gather together at this time of year, it’s my hope that you can capture those feelings of joy for yourself and your loved ones. What new memories and new traditions will you establish? How will you add to your story and to those around you?
It’s your story to tell, and you are the only one who unleashes the story of how you live your life on purpose and shine!
