Being present is not just a gift you give yourself – though it certainly is that.  It is also a gift you give your children, spouse, and friends – in fact, anyone you spend time with.  Being 100% present is the best gift you can give someone.  It says, “What you have to say is important to me,  YOU are important to me.”  Think about this as we go into the holiday season.  People tend to have enough ‘things.’  Maybe this year your gift list can include entries like ‘one hour together every Wednesday with no electronics’ or ‘one unplugged weekend away every 3 months.’  Just remember to be all there when you are there!
