I don’t care who you are, a good appreciation celebration feels amazing! Whether you are the recipient or the giver.

Think about it, how many times have you been publicly appreciated or celebrated other than a special holiday, your birthday or a specific milestone?

Other than our funerals, and news flash – we won’t be there. We won’t be there to hear how much those in our lives appreciated us. We won’t  see them take the time to celebrate our life and the impact or influence we had on theirs.

Why do we wait for these life events to occur before we take the time to appreciate and celebrate those who have affected and impacted our lives?

Don’t wait.

Today, make a list of your life’s top influencers.

If they are long distance, send them something tangible. Texts & emails are great, but something you can look at or hold in your hand, like a card, will mean so much more.

At the very least, verbally tell them that you appreciate their influence on your life and you just had to take the time to celebrate on them a little!

I wish I would have done this more and sooner in my personal life and in my business.

It’s never too late to start.

It’s never a waste of time.

It’s never a crazy idea to host an appreciation celebration!!
