Festive Vibes - Fitness Goals, Artistic Journeys, and Christmas Miracles!

Oh my word! Christmas is right around the corner. Wow, time has been flying by fast! Probably because I spent last week and the weekend finishing up my shopping for gifts. How about you? Got your shopping done?

You know how last week I shared that one of my biggest cheerleaders is my Mom? Her’s was the final gift on my list. I like to gift her with something a bit different each year. Like one year it was funny fuzzy slippers. And another was a set of WWII books (she’s a history nut).

This year I went looking for something to support her goal of getting more fit. Don’t worry, I share what I found down below 😉

Oooh…I love the wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt!

“Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.”

I see it as a call to not only dream big, but to act boldly. Your actions have the power to inspire and touch hearts universally. So, what great action will you take today to leave your mark on the world? My mind is churning with great ideas like spending time with the residents at the assisted living center in my town. Let's turn our thoughts into action and shine!

Oh my, this is one heck of a story about incredible resilience and creativity. Meet Hima Bindu, who transformed her life's adversities into artistic expression. Surviving domestic violence and societal judgments, she didn't just reclaim her life…she redefined it through her unique art. Using coffee waste, she creates stunning paintings, selling them for up to Rs 50,000.

Her journey from a corporate leader to a celebrated artist is a testament to the power of courage and innovation. Hima's story is a beacon of hope, showing that it's never too late to pursue your passion and change your life's narrative. (Read more about Hima's inspiring journey here)

😊 Wellness Tip

And now for the unique gift I’ve decided to give Mom - a way for her to elevate her self-care fitness routine! I've discovered Yoga Burn. It’s a unique program designed especially for women. I’m impressed with the reviews. And that it’s been around since 2014 and still getting positive reviews. Now, Mom hasn’t done much Yoga, and that’s okay because this program starts off with what they call a Foundational Flow. I love that it sets her up for success. Check it out for yourself or a best friend and let the transformation begin!

📰 Good News of the Day

Ready for a heartwarming story? And just in time for Christmas, a miraculous event. A four-month-old baby was found unharmed, asleep on a fallen tree after being swept away by a tornado. A tornado! I know, right? It's as if angels guided this little one to safety.

This story, while heartstopping, is a beautiful reminder of hope and maybe a touch of divine intervention. In a world where news is often disheartening, stories like this bring a ray of light and warmth to my heart. I hope it does for you, too. Read the full story.

And that’s it for today! Have a great Christmas and know I’m sending positive vibes your way for a great week!
