In order to teach my daughter that Christmas is not just about receiving gifts, I started a new tradition. That each of us, me, Stephen and Miranda would make a wish for each of us by writing it down and then placing the wish in our stocking. Stockings would be opened Christmas morning.
I think this will lead to very interesting observations from Miranda in years to come. It was a great exercise to think very deeply about your hopes for the people you love most in this world.
My wishes for myself were:
more clients
more advocacy work
enjoying my life more through smarter choices about how to spend my time.
Each of us asked Miranda privately what she wanted for each of us. For me she said....
On busy Christmas Day it was really calming to take my series of notes away quietly and enjoy what Miranda and Stephen had wished for me.
I was delighted that among a few wishes, Stephen also dreamed: 'that you have more time for yourself'. ah.. now to make it happen.
Here's to a wonderful 2009!
