I bet for you it's always the season of giving
Why not make this the season to give yourself a gift, too? Plus I have unique gift ideas for the writer, dreamer, or kid on your list.
When I was starting my business, consultants and coaches insisted that I describe my ideal clients in terms of age, socio-economics, and lifestyle.
Publishers, too, wanted me to specify who we’d be marketing my books to.
They wanted to know: Where do they live? What kind of work do they do? The types of community groups they’d be part of.
I always had trouble with those kinds of questions. After all, my books, classes, and one-on-one sessions are about dreams and writing. And as you know by now, I firmly believe I know that everybody dreams, and everybody has a story to tell.
But business gurus and publicists kept pushing me to distinguish my audience.
Well, there is something I can say about the people like you who show up at my workshops and buy my books:
You are people who care deeply about family and friends, and who care passionately about community and the world at large.
You are generous souls who have big shiny hearts and who love to give!
I see you shaking your head and trying to deny it. (That’s because people who show up here are often humble, too!)
But I know you’re a giver.
That’s because you’ve given me gifts, whether you realize it or not.
💕 You have given me the gift of space in your inbox by subscribing to this publication.
💕 You have given me the gift of supportive comments, emails, and candid feedback.
💕 You have given me inspiration and motivation to keep writing.
💕 You have given me the gift of your trust when you’ve showed up at one of my workshops or shared a dream, or something you wrote during a 1:1 session.
Thank you!
In this season of giving, I hope you will take time and give something to yourself, too.
✨ Give yourself a break, a pat on the back, a smile when you see yourself in a mirror.
✨ Give yourself an evening off to do nothing.
✨ Give yourself time to doodle, draw, write, muse, and dream.
✨ Give yourself a compliment.
✨ Give yourself a gift! (I won’t lie, I have some suggestions below 😇 )
You deserve it!
Give the gift of sleep, dreams, creativity, and joy …
… to yourself and others!
