Message from the Citizens of Halloweentown
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 10/28/24
Happy Monday!
It’s Halloween week!
I have to admit, Halloween doesn’t hold quite the same magic now that I can't dress up my kids in those adorable Disney costumes (ah, the joys of having teenagers…). But it's still the perfect time to dive into some fun seasonal movies! Not the super scary ones though—I’m sticking with Disney!
One movie that tends to spark debate is "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Is it a Halloween or Christmas movie? I say it’s both! And from that movie comes this week’s quote:
Now, generally speaking, I am not a fan of a good scare. It's hard to believe that I used to be really into those "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies—Freddy Krueger was creepy but also strangely captivating! But as I reflected on this quote in the context of life, I started to see it differently. It’s like those occasional shake-ups we all need—something that jolts us out of our comfort zones and into new awareness, possibilities, and change.
While I’m not advocating for actual scares (I'll leave that to the thrill-seekers!), there’s something to be said about embracing the unexpected in life. Sometimes, we need a bit of discomfort or a challenge to shake things up—whether it’s trying something new, stepping into a leadership role, or simply facing a fear we’ve been avoiding.
It’s these very moments that can push us toward growth, innovation, and deeper self-awareness.
✨Magic. ✨
How might a little 'scare' now and then help you to keep moving forward?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
