Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas SPACE Challenge: CELEBRATE

Day 2: Celebrate!

How full and happy do you feel when you celebrate something? Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or holiday like we just experienced this week, it’s a fact that when you give a card, make a phone call, or throw a party, you are performing a deep act of kindness. To us, celebration and gratitude are one and the same. When you celebrate someone’s birthday, you’re saying: “I’m grateful you were born.” When you celebrate an anniversary, you’re saying: “I love you and am grateful for our partnership.”

Today, we invite you to celebrate – a personal accomplishment, a friend’s love, a beautiful song, your health, the presence of a higher being or the hope that the approaching new year symbolizes – the options are endless. As Oprah says, “the more you celebrate your life, the more in life there is to celebrate.”

Let’s spend 2020 in SPACE: Step into Peace, Acceptance, Compassion and Equality

We have different labels that we unite around that separate us into categories of different political beliefs, different religions, different priorities, different interests, different dreams, but I believe WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DESIRE DEEP DOWN FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR OURSELVES AND A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL. But there has been no “label,” no “movement,” no “brand” to represent this united front of goodness that is more foundational than any of the other NAMES that highlight our differences.

We’re happy to report hat there is finally SPACE for this inherent human nature that showcases the positive aspects that unite us, no matter what our other labels may be. SPACE is a nonprofit founded by Liz Gibbs, and I’ll be talking a lot about it as WHAT MATTERS is partnering with SPACE to make more of a global impact. In 2020, I’ll be launching several large collaboration projects with amazing people to co-create initiatives on a larger scale.

Introducing the SPACE Unity and Change Bracelets!

Self-help books: check. Inspirational quotes: check. Coaching programs: check. A lot of us know intellectually what we need to do to evoke positive change in our lives and the world, we just have a hard time actually putting it into practice. Our bracelets act as a constant reminder and accountability partner for those real life moments that happen outside of our journal or therapy session. Yes, keep reading, learning, journaling and talking – AND join us, in what is sure to be a humbling journey, of imperfectly attempting to practice what we preach.

*Our bracelets are handmade out of recycled paper beads by refugee women and caretakers of vulnerable children in Kampala, Uganda.

**10% of profit is donated to a different non-profit each week
