It is time of spiritual transitions. Symbolic of moving from one phase of life to next reaching higher, reaching outward, leaving safety of cocoon and finding your own place among flowers of life. Allowing wind to carry you forward to your goals and dreams. A time of self-discovery rebirth. The butterfly shows you beauty within. Go forth with joy. Affirmation

I recognize my true beauty within, I value and cherish all that I am. I have power to transform my life. To experience true joy.

5. Everybody is Somebody

Most of time, Would-Be-Nice people are easy to take care of. Everyone likes to eat. Most everyone likes sweets. Most ingredients for baked goods go on sale around holiday time. Bake them cookies.

If you don't know any good recipes, go to http://www.allrecipes.com. There you can find recipes that are rated by real people on taste and how easy they are to prepare. You can't go wrong making a highly rated recipe from site. Once you've baked, get some colored saran wrap and wrap up cookies for individuals. Take a plate in for workplace.

You could make this into a social occasion. Consider getting some friends together for an afternoon baking and making candy. You get to split costs and work. If you seriously doubt your culinary ability, maybe you can come up with a deal - you supply ingredients (and maybe a lunch) and they supply baked goods.

If you can not bake at all, you can still subsidize someone's sweet tooth. Buy some holiday mugs and a big bag of jelly beans. Place a scoop of jelly beans in middle of a square of plastic wrap. Secure with ribbon. Place inside mug. Instant gift!

So enjoy your holiday shopping in a sensible way. With all money you have saved, you can buy yourself something special.
