Happy organizing and lots of love this holiday season!

While I love Christmas, and I would prefer to only express joy today, there is no doubt that many people are going to be having a very heartbreaking holiday this year. So many families have lost loved ones since the global pandemic began. If your family is one of them, my heart and deepest sympathies go out to you.

There are people suffering with Covid-19 (and other illnesses) right this second...some in very serious situations. Many folks are burdened with worries and stress about financial insecurity with their jobs, their businesses, and/or the state of their community.

Other folks (like our health care heroes...and many others) are overworked to the point of exhaustion.

Some struggling families will have very little under the Christmas tree. Some won't have anything. The burdens are great this year.

Christmas is usually a day when we celebrate...when we can get together with loved ones, often in pretty large groups, and enjoy a meal, a gift exchange, a lot of hugs, and each other's company. With the safety guidelines in place being asked of us, most of us will be celebrating with the members of our immediate household only. Some folks will be spending Christmas alone.

Covid-19 was only one challenge this year. It was certainly a huge one. But there were many more heartaches and hurdles in addition to the pandemic. It has often been said that life isn't easy. That's an understatement, by far, this year...for people everywhere in the world.

If there was ever a time for the song, 'Blue Christmas' to be popular, it's this one.

Yet, Christmas brings something special...even in a 'Blue Christmas' year like 2020. It arrives...despite everything happening around us. It acts as a reminder that even when so many things are going wrong, miracles still happen every day. We can find them when we take the time to reflect deep within our hearts. The true meaning of the season acts as a blanket...one that we can all wrap around ourselves.

This year, I especially appreciate Christmas lights whenever I see them. When you think about it, we normally don't spend a whole lot of time enjoying our own Christmas lights that we display outdoors. They're mainly for others to enjoy. This year, each and every one of them symbolizes, to me, a glimmer of hope, love, kindness, goodwill, and joy...they're gifts of light to others. And, as we all know, so many people need that light this Christmas.

If you're not planning on displaying lights this year, the gift of light can still be given...in a card, with a gift, via a phone call, in a gesture like shoveling someone's walk or covering someone's shift at work. There's no warmth or light compared to the kindness of giving a piece of our heart to someone else who truly needs it.

On this Christmas Day, wishing you and your loved ones love, peace, comfort, warmth, and light.

XOXO,

Maria

For super quick details on how you can sing better than you ever imagined, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-singing.html

Have you ever found yourself alone, singing a song...maybe out of tune... only to realize a co-worker or family member listening and making fun of your ability? Or maybe it was an insensitive joke, like: 'Don't give up your day job.'

We shrug these things off and pretend they don't bother us, but it hurts and it ruins our joy of singing.

On the other hand, you may be very excited to know that, within a matter of weeks, you could...

Sing so incredibly well and with such power and expression, that when people listened to your voice, they felt goosebumps and welled up with emotional tears?

This leads me to something that is really good that I know you're going to love. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sing (or to sing better), this singing course is head and shoulders above the rest...it's called Singorama 2.0.

Learn how to:

* Sing with effortless strength
* Increase your vocal range by at least an octave
* Sing with beautiful tone and perfect pitch
* Hit those high notes without any cracks
* And so much more...(just visit the link and see for yourself!)

P.S. Sing like an angel with the confidence of a rock star! PLUS, it comes with WONDERFUL complimentary bonuses too. Don't delay...I'll remind you only up until December 25th! Visit:
