and I am a slow down when you're talking just a little bit of %eh culture excited
because we run time:
arm and what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna go to
I Jennifer Ford Berry I'm Jennifer for Berry
is a special person in my life I we've with were
going on about a year know each other and she is
so nice so helpful so informative I she's a tremendous
author she sold over 350,000 books
maybe over 400,000 she'll tell you in a sec and I'll
but she's got a great series and she's gonna
really talk about some nice things to kinda close out the holiday summits I
hope everybody's been enjoying themselves
ladies and gentlemen let's give a round of appluase for Jennifer Ford Berry!
and Jennifer you have to take off the mute button
hi everybody I'm thought they'd be here and can't wait
day it's finally here I we've been talking about this for Adam
so often got up gotta be 0 and thank you for having me
on today I'm actually gonna be talking about how
you remember this spirit up and feed then and I know it organizer
we like to talk a lot about how to organize a stop and
state and things like that and I love to talk about that too but I actually am
excited to talk about
more up be in there clutter and organizing our
spirit that remind our body I'm especially this time of year when it
seems to be
that you know I know a lot of my clients get really bogged down on strike because
brother so much pressure on a
to get so many things done and really that's not right
the sea than was intended for in the beginning so I'm not talk about
ok think that we can do in order to do that and I thought about be
agree going down getting back
practicing gratitude and remembering the spirit
so those are really the four main thing that I think it we can incorporate that
into right this time a year and her family's life
we might really he had a lot better when it comes to
on November and December at the end of the year rather than reading and feeling
like you've got a run and hide it on remote islands
you can tell and the first thing at you have to just go down I think it's one of
the things you can do to do that is to sit down
before that even a ride then it's not too late
on today or this weekend and a great time to start down to their family and
to actually
top ever family on with their children
your children your spouse about what you see as your vision for this time of year
he and why that's important because if we don't actually grab our time
it's going to be taken from a 1 wherein you know another
so coming up with a vision talking about the tradition that we really enjoyed
talking about the thing that maybe we thought we want to do after being at
halftime
or and then the most important thing is to grab it here and there
manner your cell phone however you keep track of your time
and actually Gadling those things and first
and that way when you get an invitation in the mail
I'm or into how the Tea Party in office are you can actually look at your
priorities that are arming
schedule and day whether or not you can attack and
and I feel like by doing that the evidence even you're gonna feel a lot
better
out on how your family for the holiday break and feeling like you're running
from one place to another
and you know that by doing what you and your children just us I do
so that occurred them %uh you know
the next it together and there are so many ways to do that this time every
year
I really think it about what you know drive
it pulls at your heart so check with your local
area and just you can go that doesn't find out what's going on
I've done up for two things at my kids everything from
you know I'm homeless shelters shoes say
homes she just families we know to the troops
there's a lot of things going on about right now so easy together
I'm you can opt to make cards you can recycle Christmas card but we talked
about earlier
and have your kids 3 I could've been taken to a local
I'm nursing hom you know that it's just a really fun thing to do
also what we've done is make surprise their local fire departments and go on
it
and copy and not the best part about whether that might shed
act completely get any and the reason for that is because when we get there
we actually feel well really am you know
excited me feel good to me feel warm and fuzzy and that's what we want more
apparent even
it math a lot longer than you know opening up north
electronic and so that we want to teach your kid another good thing to do this
time here
just get your kids in the habit up going hear their room
and looking for Troy that they're not really playing with anymore
and maybe they can donate to a child in need that doesn't have anything
I'm so that's a good habit to get into every single year right before the
holidays
and it's better to do that before on your guests arrive arms and we know one
thing:
it there coming and it's completely overwhelming ok try to do that had a
time
I am the other thing and you know you can answer a pay it forward
plan rate within your own family and that's really fun to do during that time
a beer
of this kind out with your own good close friend or your own
family things like that I'm you know when you're talking about giving the
thing that i really wanna
touch on as just think about how you want to be remembered
and I think that's also a really spiritual way to live your life
is to conquer anything you know when I'm gone someday
and not be morbid but how are people gonna remember me what are people gonna
tell my children
what is going to be my mark on the throne it doesn't have to be
extraordinary
it can be smile every day a.m. to wake up every day and to thank yourself how
can I be a blessing and
I mean you know some bi occurred late today is just a really great place
star and I will say I'm to find a personnel
if he then I'm me out a very
expressing our family thought the even more I'm about the spirit this year for
us there's you know
family members and talk about what kinda presence should we get there when your
kids want for Christmas
were you know giving that I i'm talking about.
memory that we're going to experience and things are going to do together at
the family
because it's really showing us that that's what it's all about not so much
I'm you know president really though and it's off though
brotha really learning from the timbre the way he's lived his life because
people are coming forward and telling her looking like
helping a neighbor cut down a tree that fell on a storm or
bringing over ingredients or you know person's favorite recipe
little crane think that meant there were
somebody out and we can all work great that into our life
and that too reading and practicing gratitude at how can we do that on a
daily basis
more than ever this time here that you know time to start
implementing that can share like so whether you start every day
and write down something you're thankful or I'm actually a great time
you know a great tradition your family during the holidays actually have a
calendar
or choc corridor I Drive a sprite everyday you happy childhood
right down one thing I think or or you can have them
you know we you sit around the dinner table and everybody can mention it
during dinner
I'm another great thing if they have a joint efforts are so you're can't
actually will write
and mom and dad we don't forget about them but to write down something that
they're thankful
or bring enjoy you play in the dark beginning at it then
and every day you jot you know one piece the paper and have your kids read it out
loud and discredit
get everybody back into know what this is all about our
rather than getting affected by all the commercial you know from play either I
there whatever out the case may be where you can feel like I'm that makes you
know them
analyst it two mile club though that can never be no repositioned everybody's
mind keeps an eye on the right track
I am anything it is that you can just
quick here you can show your going to buy what you give to somebody out
at the get to read even thinking about what they might want
up there let's think about the way that you can get a I want to show that I'm
how your great for what they've done you know something they've done for you are
what they mean to you in your life I'll up a lot I'm a damn
example the photobook they do that every you know you're from my family actually
get me a crackdown get those hundred the number
but if the back it because we do a year review
you know my family loves to open it and look at it and something so often we
keep over-the-air
and the other thing I like to mention it to give they get the fan experience
I'm especially if you can such as to get or maybe a membership
I'm or maybe just give them a card that says we're going to have a baby
in this is great when Grandma and Grandpa hour and some other asking what
you get the kids and you're just thinking you're mine
really they need another toy but they needed the time with the family and the
people that love
%uh so always considered to get kept an experience more
than something out that may or may not collect after may or may not get used
and anything out of that mention it to you can even
that your own alarm so throughout the day maybe once or twice a day
it a lot harder kinda bring your mind back to you thinking about one thing
you're grateful for
I'm so it's really good practice against you and then binary
to nurture your spirit during that time here and
that you know there's no right or wrong way to do that
the weather here you know into going to religion
places and doing worship for you and your reading book service think the idea
tapes or you know any if there's no right or wrong way
maybe you just like to go for a walk in the woods and experience nature
just make sure that you're actually cramming time
because before we know if you can gonna be over and we can take the time to do
the thing that they probably aren't going to happen
it's not that we don't have enough time being even it
that we don't make enough time we don't prioritize our time crack place so
really take a look and say you know how can I do the little things everything
obey
to make sure that when I look back on after january first I can pay you know
what we really made the most the season really me the most this time a year
and it was really special moment we you know we celebrated the way we wanted to.
and I just wanna kinda wrap-up on one other know if I'm
up what to do and I'll be get after they calm
and I want a couple I'm plan a couple up back but I like
how my client that myself after that the than it that
first about you don't have to keep hanging onto any yes that you don't want
love for you even if you feel guilty
it's okay I'm here to tell you that you don't have to keep that
so you don't think about donating her or even just think about maybe putting a
man one
based in your home whether clout that or operator
or storage container and kinda late let
are for the future burger maybe you'll have a chance to go basket raffle
I maybe your kids at school will need to bring in something to give
30 given my hand I we don't have to
feel bad about that it think you know it was the thought that counted right
hinge the only thing is with the kids when you have special
smaller children and they think you get a lot more toy
because their less expensive when their small
you can few armor occasion so one thing that I own thing but my kids are gonna
hurt that really great
specialists and their birthdays are the holiday it not
let them have other toy that one but to actually keep them
packed away for you know rainy day recalled a tournament your money
your their border and it when I watch TV all day and pull out 10 straight that
they
hadn't played with the Atman like Christmas all over again
so just some great idea but you know what the bottom line and
you know keep this you then the way it was intended don't get shot
our make the moment count you never know what's gonna happen between now and next
december 20 Feb
so I really appreciate those people in your life and where your life and that's
given point
deep I love it yeah I know I'm watchin Everybody space over your body psychic
yeah how you know it's like I am I almost felt like a kid like getting too
emotional
the right now I can start to tear you know thinking about how much I
appreciate in
and how much gratitude I have been and particularly for my children I mean I I
have two little ones right now so I'm at the point right now where all I really
want to do
is spend time with them and and and putting together this whole summit
as much fun as it as it's been I know that my time with them had
has suffered a lil bit so I based on some of our conversations I started
thinking and tomorrow I'm taking out my son
I he's only about three and a half men. taken get a haircut men taken with you
Depot you know I'm gonna spend just quality time along with my little boy
arm rather than just coming home you know hanging out with them for two hours
and put him to bed ima take him out on the town so to speak
so it's I it's great and a of course you know for anybody else I Jennifer and we
all have our
people in our in our lives that that they're in a situation where we wish
they could be doing better stronger
I you know god bless all them and we wish them the best of luck

listen to the recording its
I'm what I will say is that the whole concept of order
an organization in your home we don't have to be
perfectionists about it as a creative
at heart and by nature order
is not my natural habitat so I want to encourage as you guys can probably see
from the stuff around me
I want to encourage anyone out there who doesn't feel like they're gonna be able
to get
ahora Ando on order in their life
to just takes simple steps do
one thing try to do two things this season
and then next year tried to do two more so just take it one step at a time

I always looked at it is a at thing or something
