In This Issue:
Hello Again:
It’s almost Halloween. I’m so excited to be going with Zorro to my friend, Jim’s, Halloween Party. I haven’t decided who I’ll be yet. Did Zorro have a girl friend??? Or should I be Elvira? Or Cher? No, that would require a big weight drop. Don’t have time! Are you dressing up for Halloween? Who are you going to be? Send me pictures.
If you need any articles for your newsletter or magazine, there are lots of great articles available in our Motivational Tidbits archives on the JudiMoreo.com website. You are welcome to use these. Just be sure to give me credit for writing them and put a little blub about me at the end…who I am and where to reach me.
Have you checked out my new blog? We put motivational messages, training exercises, and great information several times a week. We are revamping the newsletter and starting January 1, it will be entitled, “Winning Solutions” instead of “Motivational Tidbits.” If there is anything you’d like to see us add to the newsletter, please let us know.
You are invited to my very first one woman show of my watercolor paintings. The show will be on exhibit throughout the month of November at the City Lights Gallery in Henderson, Nevada, so feel free to stop by and see it even if you can’t make the reception. We’d really love to have you attend the Meet The Artist reception on Friday night, November 16th. We’ll have wine and light snacks. See invitation below. I sure hope you can make it.
Have a wonderful holiday season and always remember, you are more than enough,
Judi
The Holidays are Upon Us
As the weather cools, the trees are changing their bright green summer clothing for the brilliant colors of fall. Reds, oranges and yellows splash across the landscape. There’s a hint of frost in the air. The work of spring and summer is rewarded with a bountiful harvest. Fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful in stores. There is a new hope in the air.
 Children are looking forward to the fun of Halloween. It may not be a day off from school, but it is still a time for children of all ages to dress up, have fun, play pranks and eat way too much candy. Tradition says that All Hallows Eve is the last day newly departed souls have to seek revenge on those still living. To avoid being recognized by ghosts, people don masks and costumes. Candles light the way to church services the following day, All Hallows day or All Saints day, usually November 1st. Celebrated with parties and apple cider, trick or treating, laughter and mischief, Halloween kicks off the holiday season.
Once the festivities are over, fall leaves, pumpkins, gourds and cornucopia take the place of witches and ghosts in our household decorations. Preparations begin for feasting and family. It is time to give thanks. We will soon gather with friends and family for Thanksgiving dinner and give thanks for all that we have. We turn our thoughts away from everyday stresses to count our blessings.
We give thanks for friends who support us in the fulfillment of our dreams. We give thanks for family members who love us no matter what. We give thanks for our homes and the food on our tables. We give thanks for our health. Times may be difficult. We may not have the things we used to have. We may sometimes feel frustrated, tired and alone. But we can always find something to be thankful for.
We are never alone, there is always someone who loves and cares for us. As long as we are alive, we have something to offer to the world. When we give thanks for what we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t, we find there is always more than enough.
Did You Know?
If you are not from the British Isles, you won't believe where your hollowed out pumpkin comes from! In Ireland and Scotland hollowed-out turnips with embers or candles inside, became a very popular Halloween decoration a few hundred years ago.
Tradition held that they would ward off Stingy Jack and other malevolent spirits on Halloween, and they also served as representations of the souls of the dead. Irish families who emigrated to America brought the tradition with them, but they replaced the turnips with pumpkins, which, native to the new world, were plentiful. It didn't hurt that they are a lot easier to carve than turnips. Have you ever tried to hollow out a turnip? People began to carve frightening faces and other designs into their jack-o'-lanterns.
