The holidays are a great time to test out your Power of Connecting!

If you find that you resonate with any of these, then it must be time to cozy up with this energy and give it a little more attention:

• You’re dreading the office Christmas party and all that small talk you’ll have to make with people you don’t really know or maybe even like.
• Just thinking about visiting your family over the holidays totally stresses you out.
• You long for a social group of people who love you for who you are, who you can have fun with, with whom you can share the journey of life….your tribe.
• You feel lonely and isolated, and unsure of how to be in a social situation without feeling awkward.
• You don’t like or trust most people.

If you are lonely out there on your island,

it’s time to build a bridge!

By now you probably know that we live out in the boonies. It’s very relaxing and peaceful, just Jamie and I and our animals. And I’m not embarrassed to say I’m a homebody.

I do love it when friends come to visit, but that’s not often because it’s a long drive from anywhere. Sometimes I bribe them with good food.

But if I didn’t make a conscious effort, I could easily go 10 days and not see another person besides Jamie and Sallie!  Yeah, it’s happened on occasion.

And then I discovered Facebook.

Ok, I know, it’s not the same as face to face connecting. It’s not lunch with a girlfriend. It’s not anything like the wonderful vegetarian Thanksgiving Potluck we go to every year at our good friends’ home.

But I still find it can be a lovely connection with people all over the world. I love to see what my friend’s think is important enough to post on their wall – funny videos, inspiring quotes, something interesting that’s happening to them.

I know many people think it’s an escape, or they debunk it for not being ‘true’ connecting. But I personally find that my FB friends stay at the forefront of my mind and heart.

Seeing them online puts them in my consciousness, where I can send them love, positive thoughts, compassion, or just something that makes them laugh.

There are many kinds of community. When you find ones that are a fit, jump in!

You can never have too many friends.

Here ‘s what you can look forward to when you build up your Power of Connecting:

• Parties will become something you look forward to…meeting people, conversing, sharing ideas, and just basking in the warmth of friendship.
• When it comes to visiting family during the holidays your Power of Connecting will be a force for more cooperation, peace and harmony.
• You’ll find the communities and friends where you truly fit ~ where you’re appreciated for who you are and what your bring to them.
• Your social calendar will fill up with activities you really enjoy and with people you can easily relate to.
• You’ll be able to see the good in people, what you have in common, and begin to find those you can trust.

“Wealth is not measured by dollars and cents but by the love we make, the laughter we enjoy, the meals we share, the dreams we experience and the hopes we create. Real connections are our most precious treasures, whether they are with those that share our orbit or with our true and humble selves.”
