Get Your Shine On!


What makes you shine during the Holiday Season?  Whether you celebrate the holidays or not, we could all use a little magic of this time of year.  What is the magic you ask? Too often it takes deprivation, devastation, or a natural disaster for us to rally together, work in collaboration for the common good.  Disconnect from one another brings about feelings of depression and stress.  We need one another and collectively, we function at a higher level when we work together.  The magic of the holidays is about coming together and feeling connected to one another.  Want to feel the buzz of the holidays?  Here is a list of ways you can put your SHINE on:

Invite friends over for a night of games
Volunteer with an organization that serves others
Donate food and essential items to a shelter
Commit random acts of kindness
Shovel snow for a neighbor
Write a letter to a friend or family member
Register for a class or book study
Host a dance party for friends
Take a meal to a family in need
Join an indoor sports league
Call a friend to share how much they mean to you
Join a choir or music group

What are other ways that you are able to feel connected to those around you?
