Tip #7: An Intention Every Day

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Advent Calendars. You open one window every evening starting on December 1 right through Christmas Eve. Behind each door, depending on the calendar, is a picture, a Bible verse, or a piece of candy. I propose an Intention Calendar for your sale. Of course, you can't know when you will sell exactly, but you can certainly write down your intentions every day. What you can do is make a Christmasy green felt banner with little red pockets on it. Every day during the holiday season, get together with your family and come up with one affirmation of your intention to sell. Or maybe an invitation to your buyer family. Whatever it is that has meaning for you--a small prayer, a mantra, even a little picture of you holding the house keys out. Every day, have a short "ceremony" and place one of these little prayers/intentions in a pocket on the banner. Make the banner in your chosen Christmas themed colors, and hang it in the kitchen or family room. This way, you can have a personal invitation to your buyer family right out in the middle of your stage, "disguised" as an Advent Calendar!
