My Holiday Gift for All Managers Out There Are These 3 Wishes

Theses wishes should be wrapped with cheerful paper, red bows and placed carefully under your tree, or on your mantel and enjoyed. I have included seasonal videos/music to help convey the spirit.

Seeing your true effect. I wish for community managers to realize they touch dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people in a single day, affecting each of those persons, sometimes quite profoundly. What you do matters greatly. (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel) O Come, O Come, Emmanuel The Piano Guys.

Indomitable Spirit. Strong of character, unable to be subdued or overcome, the will to keep plowing forward, to go to work with an air of confidence and a glint in your eye. The fun in our work is in the challenge, and the real fun is meeting that challenge with our Indomitable Spirit. Silent Night by Pentatonix.

A Wonderful Life. Lastly I wish you all a wonderful life: Peace, joy, love. A better work life. Good coffee. Pets that love you. Family and friends. Most of all I wish you clarity: Clarity to see life as it is, to see others as they are, and to see yourself as you are, and to be okay with all of it. But also I wish you the clarity to see what you what you can be in the coming years. It's truly a Wonderful Life. I leave you with Charles M. Schulz's A Charlie Brown Christmas The Meaning of Christmas .

I love you all, and appreciate what you do! -- Julie
