What Does a Blackened Person Need When We Come to the Table?

We are days away from Thanksgiving and we can all feel the buzz softly starting, as if the time to come around the table is just a few hours away. Wherever you go you can find others doing last minute preparations so that we can just get to that great day already! Before we do, we need to make sure all our tasks are taken care of and our lists are all checked off. Extra attention to our last-minute planning will lead to a more rewarding Thanksgiving day and has the possibility of creating strong and memorable moments and stories.

This Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, if we pay attention to a few “what, where, when, and how’s,” we will have a great time when we are all together. Whether the day runs smoothly or runs into chaos, this attention can determine how fond the memories might be. Making it run smoothly is determined in the tasks that we take care of ahead of time in the next few days.

Tasks are the strength of the Blackened Design so this week let’s talk about what is important to those close to us that are Blackened.

Five Things a Blackened Person is Grateful For When We Come to the Table:

  1.  Be on time. Start when you say the dinner will start.
  2.  Be resourceful with time and resources. Waste is frustrating to a Blackened person.
  3.  Create casual spaces with all the excess the holidays can bring. Have a ball game playing in another room, a relaxing game of pool or a good show that can provide a casual escape from all the intensity of holiday celebrating.
  4. Good old dry wit or sarcasm is a great form of play for the Blackened design. When conversations feel too stuffy it makes them feel uncomfortable.
  5. Be real with them. Honesty is key.

So mark off all the tasks on your list and then enjoy having honest conversations and building relationships that are worthy of memories. BE GRATEFUL, and remember,

everyone is a masterpiece.

What Does a Whitened Person Need When We Come to the Table?

The holiday season is upon us and we are creating social events and offering invitations. Socializing is one of the best ways to renew our relationships with those we love. It protects relationships from getting stale. It breeds life and progress into relationships and helps them move along. When you really evaluate it, we do most of our interacting with others in social settings.

The holidays are a great time to focus on our friendships, old and new, and get to know each other at a deeper level. It provides many opportunities to play and laugh with others. Socializing happens at those holiday parties when we come together as families, co-workers, and neighbors, but those are not the only times we will find ourselves socializing this holiday season. It is any time or event that we personally deem a “social” situation. For example, it could be a meeting, but we deem it social in our mind. These are also places we have opportunities to get to know each other better.

As we come around the table on Thanksgiving Day, as well as other times, it is how we interact with each other in our social circles that either provides growth or becomes a barrier to further interactions and bonding.

This week let’s talk about what is important to those close to us that are Whitened.

Five things that a Whitened person is grateful for when we all come to the table:

  1. Enrolling everyone that is in our social circles
  2. Spontaneity is key
  3. Anticipate each other’s needs and show up with fun surprises that matter
  4. Laughter and light-hearted interactions
  5. Flexibility and curiosity to just see where things will take you

If we take a few minutes to make sure these things are considered when entertaining our Whitened loved ones, it will insure a better interaction and a deeper bond.

Happy holidays and remember:

Everyone is a masterpiece.
