  1. "Be great, feel great, act great."
  2. "An attitude of gratitude brings opportunities."
  3. "Let your manners speak for you."
  4. "Let your heart speak to other's hearts."
  5. "Where there is love, there is no question."
I hope that these words of wisdom bless you this holiday season. I'd love to know which one resonated most with you. I'm torn between #4 and #5 as my favorites. You may leave a comment below or click here to shoot me an email!
