nudge

Supply chain issues are currently affecting what can be found on store shelves. There are a myriad of causes including the pandemic + the fact that our goods are so often made overseas. I have to admit that I wouldn't be too disappointed if supply chain issues nudged people to think about having a different sort of holiday.

Could we try imagining things being different? Could we just daydream for a few minutes?

• What do we wish the holiday season was all about?
• How would our holidays look, if this was the primary focus?
• How would we like our children to think about the holidays?
• What do we truly enjoy most during this season?
• How would we like to feel throughout the weeks to come?
• Could we take a moment to ask those we'll spend festive times with what they love most about the holidays?

I love a good reimagining. I like to be surprised by new thoughts, to experience new ways of doing things, to observe new feelings. 

A few thoughts I'm having:​

• What is my luxury these days? (something like a day with no obligations)
• What do my loved ones really want?
• Would one special gift be enough?
• Could we set a spending limit? A low one?
• Could we "gift" food to a potluck?
• Could we gift handmade or time or service?
• Could we see our time together as a gift?
• A swap of stuff we already have would be fun...a different sort of supply chain.​

Traditions usually have or had a purpose. Gifts were often given to those less fortunate. Time together was the treat worthy of celebration. What is my reason for the season? How do I intend to tune in to that? 

Enjoy!  :)

Love,
Jane
