☆ Happy Holy Days ☆  It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. ~ Adlai Stevenson The December Solstice offering of the Thrive True e-zine is now available! This is the biggest one yet so please be patient as the pdf may take a while to open and download due to all the presents within! It’s worth it! 😉 I’m so grateful to the lovely contributors that have shared their light within and wrapped up this gift just in time for many celebrations around the world. It is packed full of inspiration, kindness, beauty, generosity and more gifts! I invite you to find a comfy spot to slowly savor the blessings within… perhaps in the summer sunshine, if down under, or by a cozy winter fire with a warm cup of tea, if in the northern hemisphere like me (See viewing and printing tips at the end). If you’d like to share this gift with friends, family and anyone else you know, please feel free to pass it on! Thank You. ♡♡♡ Whatever holidays you celebrate, I wish you a Happy Holy Day… Every Day! * Please Note: It takes a while to open and download due to the size of the file.

This will adjust the orientation to the intended electronic magazine style for digital viewing purposes.  Then, you can click the cover and move the mouse to see the arrow buttons for browsing or use the arrow keys to ‘turn the page’.  You can also use the -/+ buttons or the control key at the same time as the – or + keys to zoom in and out to adjust the size (decrease or increase) the font and images.

For best printing after downloading to computer: After selecting to Print (or using the control key and “P” at the same time) and selecting your printer, choose “Letter” size paper, set the pages/sheet to “off” (if you have that option for your printer), choose “Duplex: Print on Both Sides” (with flip on the long side), Select “Portrait” orientation, and Choose “Color”.

Enjoy!
