I love the holidays. I’m always bursting with gratitude during this wonderful time of year for my incredible friends and family. As you are probably already aware, I’m a self-confessed workaholic – but making time for loved ones is equally important to me.
Gratitude: The Spirit of Christmas
Christmas is such a beautiful time of year. The holiday cheer, festively decorated homes, beyond excited grandkids and Christmas lights lighting up the night sky all add to this extraordinary time of year. Stir in a few family traditions and a little extra gratitude for all that’s good in our lives, and you have that magical spirit of Christmas.
Heres five things I’m grateful for this holiday season.
Friends and family.
I’m eternally grateful to my amazing friends and family. I treasure all of my love-filled relationships.
My brands.
JR and I started our first business many years ago with a lot of excitement and a big dream. I’m so proud of everything we’ve achieved and will be forever thankful we shared this incredible entrepreneurial journey together. I love that we created a business model that allows us to keep launching innovative new brands and products.
Health.
Health is everything. I’m thankful for my good health, and that of my loved ones.
The roof over our heads.
I’m sparing a thought for all of the residents in Puerto Rico who are still without running water or electricity months after Hurricane Irma. I am full of gratitude that my hometown, Miami, was not hit as badly as we thought and that few homes here were destroyed.
Happiness and laughter.
We’ve all experienced those dark times during which you genuinely feel like you’ll never smile, laugh or feel happy ever again. These times are the worst but serve as a lesson to help us appreciate the enchanting uplifting feelings of pure happiness and laughter during the good times.
