Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly offers a few questions readers might ask themselves when looking back on the past year and forward to the New Year.
New Orleans, LA – December 17, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new blog on her website entitled, “So Late So Soon,” in which Dr. Kelly starts with a fun Dr. Seuss poem.
Dr. Kelly writes, “Ah, yes here we are once again at the final month of the year. The caboose, so to speak. A month filled with ever shortening days and the absolute shortest day, aka the winter solstice, holidays and seemingly endless celebrations.”
According to Dr. Kelly, “Dr. Seuss has expressed it so well! We find ourselves awhirl in the activities of the season wondering how we got here again so quickly!”
“Despite the whirlwind of activities,” says Dr. Kelly, “this is also a time of reflection. And though December is often dark and dreary there is a warmth that comes from within the heart that makes the entire month lovely and cozy. It sparkles with a different kind of light.” She elaborates, “The twinkling lights of holiday decorations, the glow that gathers loved ones around the fireplace, candles and sparkling glasses of cheer.”
