Thank you for helping me remember to focus on what's important and to keep making the decision to be happy and kind every day!"

There's no doubt about it now. The holidays are in full swing and it's easy to get caught up in the trappings of the season—the decorations, the shopping, the parties, the endless to-do lists.
Your refrigerator is filled with leftovers and the mall beckons with the promise of great bargains.
But, we invite you to take just a moment in all the hustle and bustle to be kind to others this season and to share with those who may be less fortunate.
Sometimes, just a simple act of kindness can change a life forever.
That's what The Simple Blessings of Christmas by Mark Gilroy is all about.
This book provides 30 reasons to celebrate the season.
Here's a sample that will make you think about kindness—the most important gift of all:
An excerpt from
"The Simple Blessings of Christmas"
by Mark Gilroy
Norman Vincent Peale, noted minister and author from the previous century, tells the story of a young girl from Sweden spending Christmas in big, bustling New York City.
She was living with an American family and helping them around the house, and she didn't have much money.
So she knew she couldn't get them a very nice Christmas present—besides, they already had so much, with new gifts arriving every day.
With just a little money in her pocket, she went out and bought an outfit for a small baby, and then she set out on a journey to find the poorest part of town and the poorest baby she could find.
At first, she received only strange looks from passersby when she asked them for help.
But then a kind stranger, a Salvation Army bell-ringer, guided her to a poor part of town and helped her deliver her gift.
On Christmas morning, instead of giving them a wrapped present, she told the family she served what she had done in their name.
Everyone was speechless, and everyone was blessed—the girl for giving, the wealthy family for seeing others with new eyes, and the poor family for receiving an unexpected gift.
All of us have opportunities both large and small to show kindness, especially at Christmastime.
We can help strangers by delivering gifts to needy kids or serving homeless families at a soup kitchen.
Or we can simply look for everyday ways to be kind, like allowing someone to go ahead of us in a lengthy line at the department store, or giving that bell-ringer a little change and a few encouraging words.
Maybe it's because we're in gift-giving mode anyway that giving to others becomes so important at Christmas.
Or because we're more aware of our families and friends and communities.
Or maybe it's because two thousand years ago, the earth received the most perfect, most loving gift of all, helping us to understand true kindness.
Whatever the reason, don't let Christmas pass you by without showing kindness to someone.
Because it is truly more blessed to give than to receive

Transformed by The Dash, By Michelle Landahl
I'm just an 18-year-old girl, but this year I experienced tragedy that many people may never experience.
Freshman year, my Best Friend since kindergarten, Allison "Wonderland" Rivera (nicknamed because of her love of literature) and I took creative writing together, and my teacher gave us The Dash to analyze.
We both loved it so much...and I held onto that original copy.
I feel like I've known Allie my entire life.
She knew me better than I knew myself.
She was my crutch, my love, my light...I commonly referred to myself as Frodo and to her as my Samwise Gamgee: the person I could call no matter what the situation and know that she would help, no matter what the cost.
In 2011, I lost my grandpa, the first person close to me who died.
I never knew what death really destroyed in people, since I had felt loss but not grief.
But on October 15, Minooka Community High School lost a beloved senior, Mitch Fajman, to Lake Michigan's turbulent waters.
He was an acquaintance and our school united to comfort each other. I felt for them.
But exactly one week later, I learned exactly what his friends experienced.
I got a call on October 22 from Allie's uncle.
She had died instantly from an extremely rare heart defect.
She had just turned 18 a month before and finished applying to college.
Devastated cannot begin to describe the heart-rending agony I felt.
I had to face a school full of questioning eyes and whispers as "Allie's friend" in the days following this tragedy.
But throughout her many memorial services, I sort of became her spokesperson.
Even though I was the shy writer, I seemed to be the only one who had the right words to say.
Since Allie's death, I have grown close to her family and I still pay her mom visits to keep her company and fill the void left by the loss of her wonderful daughter.
The first time I went into Allie's house after her death, her face decorated every inch of the home.
On the dining room table, next to her senior picture, was a piece of paper I vaguely recognized.
When I got closer, I realized that the poem framed next to her smile was the worn and folded copy of The Dash we had both received nearly four years ago.
I took out her prayer card from my pocket and unfolded my original copy that I had wrapped around it.
Her mother burst into tears. We both saved it and neither had known.
When accepting her award for "Best Smile" at our Senior Banquet, I read the first stanza of "The Dash" and based my entire speech off it. |
Gift-Book-Sale
People have approached me since and told me that those words brought them comfort and changed the way they were planning on living their lives.
I have transformed from the silent, meek girl Allie first met into a leader and a person who I love almost as much as I loved Allie.
Allison didn't know how short her Dash was going to be, but one day she looked at me and said, "Michelle, life is short. We shouldn't be afraid to sprint."
It's important not to save all your energy for the final lap;
Live your Dash so hard it will be impossible to forget.
Don't shut your eyes to the world; you might miss a miracle right in front of you.

We are never told the rules, unfortunately, nor given any instructions about how to play.

Why are some people more successful than others?
Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and accomplish much more in the same number of years than the great majority?
I started out in life with few advantages. I did not graduate from high school. I worked at menial jobs.
I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking, "Why are some people more successful than others?"
This question changed my life.
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement.
It seems that the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every conceivable way.
One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline.
As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, "Success is tons of discipline."
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair.
The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.
A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit.
With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me.
He was hesitant, but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer.
As it happened, I immediately knew who he was.
He was a legend in the field of success and achievement.
Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had derived from more than fifty years of research and study.
I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for awhile, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?"
He smiled at me with a twinkle in his eye, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago.
He said, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'"
He went on to say, "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work."
Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness.
It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible.
With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him.
But without self-discipline, a person with every blessing of background, education and opportunity will seldom rise above mediocrity.
In the pages ahead I will describe seven areas of your life where the practice of self-discipline will be key to your success.
These areas include goals, character, time management, personal health, money, courage and responsibility.
It is my hope that you'll find a few "nuggets" that will help make your dreams come true.

You've heard of the Power of Positive Thinking. There's no doubt about it…the human mind is an amazingly powerful computer, capable of transforming our lives.
But achieving what you want in life isn’t accomplished by sitting in your comfy chair and visualizing all day long.
Far too many people neglect to ACT on their own behalf in order to bring their dreams to life.
Author BJ Gallagher has captured the "secret" no one is talking about — you can actually change your thoughts and attitudes by taking positive ACTION, no matter what you’re thinking or feeling!
She calls it the “The Power of Positive DOING” — the title of her latest book.
