| A Note from Your President... |
Thanksgiving is over and now it’s time for the Holiday Season. You know what that means? Parties, Shopping, Cooking, Family Visits, End of year business stuff...the list is endless. What can you do to keep the stress to a minimum? Take time for yourself. Smile. Don’t worry about the small stuff. Reflect on your faith and the reasons you celebrate the holiday season.
"How can we do that", you ask? There aren't enough hours in the day. Is it worth stressing out over 10 relatives coming over for dinner or do you just go with the flow? Something may have been missed getting on the dinner table, is that the end of the world? No. It’s life. Does Uncle Harry tell the same 3 stories every time you see him? Take a bet to see how long it takes for him to get going. Got someone the wrong size last year? Grab a friend, have dinner then go to the store for gift cards. Shopping is done and you got to visit with a friend.
Another idea is to reach out to other women who own a business and share how they deal with the holidays. Are there AWBO members that can assist you with your holiday needs? What a better place to do that than at the AWBO Holiday Auction and Raffle on Tuesday, December 9th. Come and enjoy visiting, shopping and supporting a great cause, Carey Home for Girls.
Happy Holidays!
Jan French
AWBO, President
