The Spirit Of Christmas
Wednesday, December 12 2007I hope this finds you well and getting into the Christmas spirit. It's a fabulous time of the year for getting together with old friends, making a few new ones, and taking your foot off the work pedal.
Feeling generous, giving presents - getting presents, being swept along with the festive air is wonderful. It's the spirit of Christmas!
What's not to like? The only problem may come when you feel out of control, pressurised into spending what you haven’t got or really want to spend, caught up in a whirlwind of spend, spend, spend. This is the spirit of Christmas being turned into a massive shopping fest.
Obviously, this will not be the case for you or me! We will keep our heads whilst others are losing theirs. We will design Christmas our way, true to the authentic meaning of it all, giving and receiving goodwill to all men - and women.
We will be dignified and elegant in our celebration of connection with the Divine and others, the ending of one year, the beginning of a new one.
But, just out of interest, I've invited an expert to say a few words on the subject.
The unbelievably brilliant Claire Brinn is a money guru. Really. A self-made millionaire, from a very humble Irish background, she has created a life of financial prosperity for herself a world away from the one she grew up in.
She has a grasp on money - the making of it, and the growing of it - that I've rarely seen. She is now making her knowledge and expertise available to all of us as I have invited her to join us here on the site
I have sent a number of my personal clients to her - some going through divorce - some who need to invest wisely – others in financial crisis. All have breathed with relief after Claire has helped them take control, and shown them practical steps they can take to improve - or rescue - their situation.
If you or your business could benefit from this type of financial support, get in touch with Claire for a chat. Email claire@fionaharrold.com.
In the meantime, here's a few tips from Claire on taking control of spending at Christmas (not that you or I need them.)
