Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (Week 4)
We are hours away from a Merry Christmas and we are all busy, hopefully spending time with loved ones and friends. Our wish at Human Art is that all your tasks are complete, and you are now spending quality time with those that are closest to you. Whether your tasks run into Christmas Day or not, it is a good time to take a break for a small minute and make spending time one of the tasks to check off your holiday list. It will benefit all those around you. If you need to slow down, then possibly make a few of the items on your list spending time with others this last couple of days before Christmas. Make it as much of a priority as a present or a dinner.
The Blackened design is known for this. It is steady in getting all of the tasks that need to be done lined up and accomplished. It brings them joy to see it all completed. So put quality time and being in the moment on your list so you can take in the holidays and be present for those you love. If we make it important, or a task, we will be more likely to do it and those are the things others will remember and will be lasting.

These are things that you cannot wrap up but are some of the best gifts you can give. It is a comfort or protection to those you spend your time with. Stop and evaluate how much time you have spent with your loved ones compared to how much time you desire to spend with each of them and make sure they line up. It will enhance your holiday experience.
Remember everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (Week 3)
Over the week I have seen many examples of people leaving their imprint. It shows up when they leave goodies on someone’s porch, when they carol, I even heard a Christmas message delivered in a way that illuminated that person’s personality traits that were very attractive and warm. I witnessed a couple entertaining friends with a song on a piano and even their interactions with each other were so sweet and charming that it left an imprint of them as a couple on the entire group that night. It seems to come out at Christmas more than any other time of year. It lends itself to connections and reevaluating ourselves to see where we want to grow.
The Grayed person, or someone with a lot of Grayed in their design, is a great example of this kind of act or dynamic that leads to leaving their imprint on someone, because they value connection. They instinctively look for connections in all that they do.

These are great things to feel in our lives and also great things to bring into our lives. As we find ourselves on the doorstep of that great Christmas day, as we do our last minute errands, make one of those errands be to leave our imprint somewhere, and do it in a way that brings peace. It cannot help but enhance the Christmas season and make all those we encounter walk away better than when we got there. Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (week 2)
As we talked last week about our individual imprint that we leave when we interact with others, it got us all thinking here at Human Art this week. We have had many discussions on how others might experience our personality, or in simple terms, what affect we have on others. We dove deeper into that concept and we became very curious as to how we leave people feeling when they experience our personality or design. It occurred to us that our design could be experienced in a positive or a negative way, depending on how we use it to interact with others. It became very important to us that we used our design to leave peace, wherever we had the chance to interact with someone. That is especially important to us at Christmas time. “Good will towards men.”
The Whitened person is a master at that when they are interacting in their authenticity. They love it when everyone is happy, so they are drawn to positivism and to upbeat interactions. They seem to share a desire to leave others in a happier state when they interact with them.

As we find ourselves in the middle of the holiday season it is great to give gifts and provide activities, but make sure some of the gifts are small acts of kindness in that Whitened way. To the degree that you have Whitened in your design or personality, is the degree you will want to serve in this way. It is a great way to serve others at this Christmas time.
Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint
One of the things I have always appreciated about the holidays is the carols. Nothing seems to bring in Christmas like a good Christmas song. It creates a feeling in the air that is like no other. Whether you hear it on the radio in your car, in the stores, or just have it playing in your home around the Christmas tree, it is a sure way to ring in the holiday feeling.
“PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN,” is a familiar line that we all know and sing. One way that we can offer “peace on earth” or spread “good will towards men” is when we do small acts of kindness—but it’s important that we do it in our way. Just like the song The Little Drummer Boy when he came to see “the newborn King,” he had nothing to offer except his gift, his
abilities, his talents, so he used just that and he played for Him. It is a great display of sharing authenticity.
I call this an imprint. Just like the little drummer boy, when we want to offer “good will towards men” we offer ourselves in an organic way, in our design. And when we leave, we have left something with that person or persons that we served—our imprint. It is a feeling, an example experienced in a way that no one else can offer. These are the times that our effect leaves others wanting to be better for it.

As we enter this Christmas season it is great to give gifts, but make sure some of these gifts are a display of our authenticity. It will serve all those we come in contact with. Some of the people you affect might not even be observable, they might just notice it from afar. It still has the same impact. Remember that you are unique in your design and you do leave an imprint wherever you go. Make it count this year. Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.
