Happy Holidays to You!

Warm Season Greetings and Happy Holidays to You!

I wish for you blissful and relaxing holidays! I hope that your year has been filled with comfy “cocooning,” maybe some organizing, maybe some new projects, and maybe some new beginnings. One must really look for all the good that has come out of this unprecedented pandemic year.

Recently, I remembered a quote from the great 13th century soul-searching Persian poet, Rumi, who is currently the most popular poet in the United States. This is a very powerful quote that just might help you reflect on this past year in more depth.

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished.” —Rumi

An easy way to focus on this and gain clarity is jot down: 1) all that you accomplished this year—you might be surprised, 2) all the good and bad things that happened to you and how you dealt with it, 3) decisions that you would never have made, 4) list what you learned about yourself, 5) what become irrelevant and eliminated in your life, and most importantly 6) how do you want to live your life moving forward.

Lastly, as 2020 closes, I want to mention how grateful and thankful I am to all of my friends, family, and loyal readers of this blog! I love hearing your feedback, comments, and kind words. We are all connected. My hope is that you continue to be inspired and “wowed” with all that I share with you at Domaine de Manion. Merci beaucoup!

I wish for you patience, panache, and polish moving forward into 2021, and beyond……Bonnie

Happy Holidays to You!
