Presence over Presents

The past 7 days have been full of sales and promotions for buying ALL the things and while beneficial it can also be overwhelming.

The things is, I believe people are the best presents. When we went around the thanksgiving table sharing what we are grateful for each and every person has people first on their list. 


People make the biggest impacts, they teach you, encourage you, stand by you, and share in memories that you just can’t buy!

Your presence is the best present you can give to those you love.

Here are 3 ways to SHOW appreciation for the priceless gift of people:

A HANDWRITTEN NOTE 
Bonus if you mail it!


Taking the time to write how grateful you are for another person, the contributions they’ve made to your life and hopes you have for your future together has a way of loving someone they can be reminded of and cherish over and over.

SHARING A MEAL


This can be as simple as a spaghetti dinner on a weeknight at home. There’s something about sitting around a table sharing a meal that bonds us. Maybe it’s a lunch or coffee after school drop off - get creative but most importantly have your attention and eyes up on your company (phones are best put away!)

VIDEO DATE


So many of my dearest are long distance. Schedule a video date, it can even be in your Christmas pajamas around the tree. When you can’t see each other - make the time to ‘see’ each other.


Cheers to the people that make life beautiful!

Dress Beautifully Being Present with People
