My family and I have been celebrating Christmas and the Holiday season over the past couple of days. What a great time of year. As my family and friends know, I am not a big fan of winter (I’m a child of the low latitudes and I find that I don’t get a chance to enjoy the positive side of winter). But, this season is a wonderful time to do just that, enjoy winter. More importantly, it offers the ability to regroup and focus on family.
If you are Christian and celebrating Christmas, then I wish you a Merry Christmas. If you are celebrating a Holiday Season wherever you are in the world, then I wish you a great holiday. Whether you celebrate other religious times throughout the year or not, I wish for all of us more time to focus on family. However you define your family, whether they are blood relatives to you or not, these people are truly what makes us who we are. And, it is wonderful celebrating them.
How have you been celebrating recently?

Again, I’ve had a chance to surround myself with people I respect, I learn from and who challenge me. I think we should always give ourselves the treat of this kind of experience. It helps to re-focus me. It illuminates what I am doing at that time and how it fits into the bigger picture. And, most importantly, I get to spend some amazing time with wonderful people who help me become more of who I already am.
In this case, I experience this by attending the national convention of the organization I belong to for professional speakers (The Canadian Association of Professional Speakers). Going to this convention is both a great learning experience but also a wonderful working vacation. It is a vacation in so far as it is so much fun and I enjoy the learning experience.
What a great way to treat yourself to something that enriches you as well. How do you surround yourself with the best?
