117: Trees With Deep Roots And The Infamous Spaghetti Loaf…

December 02, 2016

Have you ever wanted to make a great first impression, and instead it was an epic fail? As I have said many times, it’s not the event, rather how you deal with the event- that defines you. We all have been in that place; made plans, visualized how everything would go… and then the whole thing falls apart before your eyes.

The truth is, the holidays give us lots of opportunities for things to go awry. People are under a lot of stress with company, finding just the right gift, having enough time to see all the people you love, and somehow wedging meaning into all of it.

I hope this episode has you thinking about how you will handle things going wrong before they do, so you can decide how you will show up. Make the decision this holiday season that no matter what happens, you will show up with love, grace and gratitude. NO MATTER WHAT! Trust me, Dominoes is not the worst thing that can happen!

I wish you the happiest holiday season, even if it means serving the dreaded spaghetti loaf!

With Gratitude for all things unplanned,

Michelle Dutro
