Christmas reminds us to give, but giving only on Christmas isn’t really giving. Obligation isn’t really giving, nor is giving with expectation. Giving doesn’t require that we open our wallets; it requires opening our hearts.

Sometimes, I don’t think we find our chosen family, but fate delivers them to us, and they are often more loving and accepting than genetic family.

If you have not seen “Bob Trevino Likes It” on Hulu, I strongly recommend it.

We have to learn how to heal, and we have to have guidance, but no can heal us but ourselves. We have to do the work. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

If we are not willing to work at it, we are stuck in the anguish of our past. Then, the only person we can blame is ourselves.

karlyle_tommsREAD MORE: Those of us who are cat lovers know how kitties can get at Christmas. Back in the late 1980s, I had a cat named Bonkers.I should have known better than to name her that because she lived up to the name. After putting up my Christmas tree one particular year, I awoke in the middle of the night to sounds from my living room. I thought someone must have broken in. So, I grabbed the ball bat I kept by my bed and snuck carefully toward the sound. I peeked around from the hall ready to pounce on whoever might be in my living room, and there was Bonkers with a beed garland in her mouth. She had pulled the garland half way across the living room and was backing up, tugging it further with each backward lunge. The tree was leaning toward her and about to fall over. I intervened just in time. After that, I began hanging bell ornaments on my tree, a kitty cat alarm system, and I still do that to this day. Even though I have never had a cat quite like Bonkers, I still make sure I have my jingling kitty alarm on every tree. I put the tree up today. It’s much smaller than the one I had in Missouri where I had a Victorian farm house with 11 foot ceilings. I had an 8 and 1/2 foot tree with a four foot diameter base. However, in Texas, especially on the coast, you pay more for less and I don’t have the space I used to have. So, now, I have a “pencil tree.” It’s seven feet tall, but the base is only 21 inches. It used to take me 12-16 hours to put up the tree in Missouri, but today I did it in four hours. Nonetheless, my pencil tree is heavy with ornaments, and I love it, even though some Aleive is called for.Today was a wonderful day. It’s cloudy, but 77 degrees here, and I love that, too. Tomorrow, it drops into the 50s, but still, I’m loving the warmth. My current batch of cats don’t bother the tree much, but I still have my kitty alarm. Nonetheless, every cat lover knows, it just ain’t Christmas till the cat pukes ribbons. Get the product of your choice with this artwork. Go to karlyletomms.com & click on the artwork tab.

Everyone should see this film. As writer/director, Tracie Laymon beautifully crafted it. Barbie Ferreira was mesmerizing throughout the story. Kudos to John Leguizamo Rachel Bay Jones, and French Stewart. See this film, please do.

“It is impossible to serve two masters. (The Bible)” We cannot serve God while serving the ego, and it is extremely important to discern the difference between the two. Ego is never satisfied and keeps us chasing after some external source that it promises will make us happy.
