- What if…you didn’t need to buy gifts because you were the gift?
- What if…you could receive this season as much if not more than you give?
- What if…you could cut out the madness instead of the coupons?
- What if…you made room for the sacred instead of the sales?
- What if…you asked who you need to be there for this month instead of who you need to buy for?
- What if…you remembered that nothing (no thing) on the outside will ever make you truly happy on the inside?
- What if…you believed in your beautiful bones that you are enough just as you are?
So dear reader, tell me:
What if?
PS: I am giving myself permission to take the rest of December off from blogging and on for renewal. See you in January!
Pam Hardy says
Your blogs are a gift throughout the year, Cheryl, thank you.
Happy time off and Happy Holidays!
Cheryl Rice says
Thank you, Pam. I’m gifted by you and all of my readers. It’s a privilege. May happiness and peace be yours.
Gretchen Grant says
Thank you, Cheryl!!! Have a beautiful holiday with your family!!! I love these what-ifs! Mine for this year is– what if we skip the holiday cards!!!!
Cheryl Rice says
HI Gretchen. Great idea to skip the holiday cards. Anything to lessen then “should-dos” and increase time on “want-to-do’s” is a gift to me. All the best to you and yours.
Kim Hampton says
Cheryl, I love this – your questions are so powerful. Moved our advent wreath from the kitchen table to the living room. Now we can make intentional choices about whether to pick up the tv remote or to light a candle. Enjoy your renewal time!
Cheryl Rice says
Hi Kim. Your comment just inspired me to light a candle. Thank you, my friend. Be good to yourself.
Kristen says
What if I continue to send out my holiday cards in January or February despite my family’s jocular embarrassment.
Cheryl Rice says
Love it! And check out my facebook page as I just posted a great blog from Brene Brown about her giving up the gesture all together. And for what it’s worth – I’m happy to get a card from you ANY time of year.
Michele Bagley says
Happy Holidays Cheryl. Enjoy the season.
