Thanks giving. Joy giving.

Not intended to be the feast of the Starting Gate...all of us chomping at the bit for the opening of Let the Games Begin!  Rather, let any of us who can, just take a step back - just for the one day, at least.  Lets give ourselves the gift of a good 'pause'.  Bask in the joy of having family; if not family, some good friends...and remember to look beyond these blessings to Him, and give thanks. 

Tis the Season...

As a shop owner, I have never been ready - the way I hope to be ready - for The Christmas Shopping Season.  Since I just LOVE Christmas, I do keep it more on the fun side than the anxiety-ridden side of things.  This means I have to let some things slide.

'Erring' on the side of keeping family first, people first, things-of-the-soul first.  My mom (how I miss her...) always told me that nobody has it all or does it all...unless something is out of balance in their lives.  I am a bit older, I hope wiser, and I do affirm her truth. 

So I may not have covered all the bases in the THINGS we would love to have on the shelves in the shop.  But our ladies are coming in, oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing at the loveliness of the shop and the little treasures sitting on the shelves...waiting to be someone's very special gift...of course, at M Therese Gift Shop, wrapped so prettily in one of our signature gift bags - ready for the giving.
