We have unrealistic expectations for the holidays. Hollywood and songs have conjured up images of a traditional happy holiday dinner with our loved ones. However, because of all these fantasies I really feel the holidays don’t stand a chance! We lose the meaning behind this season. When lowering our expectations we are able to see realistically. Whatever benefit arises, becomes a bonus. We stop comparing what once existed in the past, or what we once were, to what is in the here and now. All that matters is the moment.
With this in mind, de-stressing can be facilitated by writing a different holiday list: the things we appreciate and the things we used to appreciate. We would then change our perception: Is the cup half full or half empty?
Remember the traffic gets crazier. Ignore people. Road rage is crazy enough as it is. Keep your emotions in check. Breathe. The Holidays go one of two ways: People are either cheery and pleasant or miserable and moody. I prefer to be pleasant all year round. It gets crazy. Don’t get sucked into the madness. Get real about the season.
Take time each day to relax, give yourself peace. Maybe volunteering for Holiday events would help you get a better perspective. If you volunteered at a food kitchen it keeps things honest and real. (I do feel this we should all know this is an all year event that people need help).
Smile regardless of the rude, cranky people. Emotions can run high. We miss our loved ones. We wish we had a partner; things may not be so good financially, etc. Count your blessings. When you check into what other people are lacking it certainly helps us feel blessed.
Exercise. That relieves stress, helps build endorphins. Eat well. Try going organic. Veggies are good. This time of year there is always a box of chocolate or cookies hanging around. Try stepping away from the junk and maybe grabbing a pear. It will do your body good.
Keep things in check. Take one day at a time. Enjoy the season for the right reasons not the silly gifts or parties. Keeping things simple is one of the best ways to enjoy every day.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to all.
Lots of Love.
Michelle

About Michelle Caporale
Michelle Caporale had her first experience communicating with spirits at the early age of eleven when her departed great grandmother appeared in her room to “talk.”
With a desire to learn more about her abilities, Michelle studied under Dr. Paul Daniele, Ph.D., D.D., P.C, the president of the College of Metaphysical Studies in Clearwater, Florida. She earned a degree as a Spirit Medium and another as an Intuitive Practitioner. Dr. Daniele is quoted as saying, “Michelle possesses an unwavering sense of confidence and determination that is shared by all who know her. As a psychic reader, I consider her head and shoulders above most psychics that I have come in contact with and I would highly recommend and support her in any endeavor due to her work ethic, intelligence, psychic ability and above all her innate spirituality.”
She is multi-gifted, which means as soon as Michelle connects with an individual, she immediately taps into the ability that is best suited in obtaining the most accurate information. Her gifts include Mediumship (Spirit Communicator), Clairaudience (Clear Hearing), Clairsentience (Clear Feeling), Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing), and Psychometry (Reading the energy attached to objects and photos).
Michelle has worked on various cold cases and continues to do so.

It is with pleasure to endorse Michelle Caporale. Michelle assisted me on several investigations while I was a member of the NYPD Cold Case Squad. With minimal information given, Michelle’s accuracy was incredible. She was so dead on with some of the facts it was scary. To show her gifts and talents she did private readings of my partner and myself that were right on. Now that I am retired I have no problem speaking freely about Michelle’s abilities. I will not discuss specifics on cases but will go on record suggesting that more police departments and District Attorney’s offices should utilize Michelle gifts as a Medium. I plan on using Michelle and her remarkable gifts, talents and abilities again in the future.
Thank you,

It is with great pleasure that I tell you about the special talent Michelle Caporale has. Michelle has read for me using her Mediumship skills in order to contact my loved one's that have crossed over. She has given me enormous comfort in times of grief by allowing me to connect with those I hold so dear.
It is an honor and a pleasure to endorse her work.
