Holiday Cheer

Hello Friends,
It is a bit late to be writing, but I had to send you a note.  It is easy to be happy and hopeful at this time of the year, but I really have to say that I just love the SPIRIT of the holidays.  The Season of giving and reflecting is a reminder of how important it is to be good, do good and inspire good and not just during December, but ALL YEAR.  When I was training with the national team, whether in an Olympic or World Cup year or in between, setting goals was critical to our success.  My son 5 years old brought this to the forefront of my mind the other day when he asked me, “what is the meaning of success?“ I thought about it for a moment, then I told him that there are many definitions. But to me success is when I set a goal or goals, then I make strides towards them and ultimately when I reach them, I could consider myself a success.  So, it is with that notion I feel that we should all extend our goal setting off the field to embrace and implement the ideals of this time of year ALL YEAR, and then we could consider ourselves successful.  And like the national team, if we all make this decision as a team or society, then we impact those around us to do the same, and GOOD will HAPPEN.  SO, go out there and enjoy the Season, all the while knowing that YOU are making your home, community and the world a better place. 
May PEACE, JOY and SUCCESS be yours.

Always,
Brandi
