Season's Greetings from Lori Lane Personnel

As the holiday season approaches, it seems that a time that used to be filled with warm thoughts of the magic of Christmas have turned into the reality of what we have deemed impossible. Our minds flood with the thoughts; "It's impossible to please everyone.",  "It's impossible to live up to certain expectations." and even "It's impossible to be who I want to be." Well friends, to quote Audrey Hepburn "Nothing is impossible. The very word says I'm possible!"

It is so easy to focus on the grind, especially during the Holiday season. We go from anxiously awaiting Santa Clause to anxiously awaiting the January credit card bill. We often forget that even in the absence of material things, we still have so much to give. This economy has come down on all of us hard. Funds are low, or even non existent. So Christmas turns out to be more of a curse that a blessing, especially when we have a family relying on us to create some Christmas magic. I know it may sounds crazy and childlike, but when it all comes down to it, you have to remember that the magic is in you.

We have all been through some really trying times. Whether they are big or just big to us, the holidays sometimes just put a magnifying glass on the hurt. Something my mother says to comfort me is "everyone has something that they are going through, this just happens to be ours." The biggest gift you can give yourself this holiday season is confidence. Keep your head held high and remember, this too shall pass.

We here at Lori Lane personnel are inspired by the magic within each one of us. We encourage you this Holiday season to not focus on what you lack, but instead to give thanks for what you have. Whether that is family, time, or just a side little talent you may have, spend time developing the gifts you may not have been aware of. Who knows, the greatest gift Santa may have ever brought you may be right under your nose.

Happy Holidays, from all of us here at Lori Lane Personnel, to you. We are so looking forward to servicing you in the near future.
