I love that December is full of spirit...the spirit of sharing, the spirit of caring, the spirit of giving. This time of year, we give SO MUCH to SO MANY. But what do we GIVE to ourselves? This year, I challenge you to step into RADICAL gift giving by gifting something to the most important person you know: YOURSELF. To "gift" something to ourselves is an amazingly radical concept.
