We have had so much fun putting this fun series together! Big thanks to each of our helpers who contributed their favorite things to these blog posts…what an awesome bunch of women they are!
And thanks to every one of you who has left Awesome Things comments…we have loved reading them and we have read every single one.
Late tomorrow, on Christmas Eve, we’ll post the 2011 Awesome Things video…you’re going to LOVE it!!
For today, we’re sending you a little gift…something that we’ve used in gatherings with our own family and friends…a gift that we think is completely AWESOME….We hope you think so, too. Enjoy!

Conversation Starters
Our gift to you is just what you need to make your Christmas dinner fun,
meaningful, and memorable this year! (Can you imagine, lol!?)
Print these beautiful Conversation Starters (pdf at the bottom of this post). Cut them out and place them in a pretty jar or basket on your dining room table.
During dinner, each person chooses a slip of paper, reads the question, and then answers it out loud. You can go around the table as many times as you like. Answers can be short or long, serious or funny…the idea is to have fun, learn something about each other, begin to understand one another a little better, and in some cases, to prevent those conversations about politics and religion and other potentially contentious subjects! (Just keepin’ it real, friends.)
Here’s a preview of what you’ll find in the pdf :
(you’ll find the link at the bottom of this post)…




For best results, follow these steps:
1)Right click HERE (this is the PDF Download Link) and “Save As” to your computer.
2)Then open the files with the latest version of Adobe Reader.
We hope that you have fun with these Conversation Starters, and that you even give them a permanent home on your dining room table and use them often throughout the year!

We love you, you are important to us, you matter enormously, and we count each of YOU at the top of our favorite Awesome Things list.
Merry Christmas!
Love, Melody and Kathy






totally awesome treat! thank you BG’s! xoxoxoox
Thank you Kathy and Melody for this Awesome gift of dinner conversation questions. Happy holidays and wishes to you for abundant blessings throughout 2012!
Thank you so much Kathy and Melody. You are always so inspiring. You have lifted me up when I truly needed it. Taught me to be stronger than I knew I could be.
These dinner conversation starters are perfect. I love that they are meant to not be one word answers, but instead allow us to learn more about the people that we love. In a day and time of electronics etc. it is refreshing to find a new way to communicate in the traditional way, by not only speaking to each other, but engaging each other.
Peace, Love and Light to you during this Merry Christmas season. You make me look forward to 2012
Pam
PS: I am so looking forward to Brave Girls 2012! Cannot wait to see what opportunities you will present to us to learn about ourselves. <3
I love you! Thank you for your vision, inspiration, love for others well-being that motivates and inspires all of us Brave Girls (and Boys). Merry Christmas, God Bless You All!
Thanks for your wonderful ideas, and Thanks for a year of inspiration. Merry Christmas!
Melody and Kathy,
Thank you so much for the kind sweet daily gifts youve given me. Over the last year I’ve gone through so much, both personally and professionally, and many times it was your inspirations that kept me uplifted and helped me persevere through. I took your very first soul restoration class and now focus on visualizing the positive in situations..I am a brave girl …what an awesome lesson to have learned and to have received from you. Thank you so much for beng there for me and giving me some of your wisdom and encouragement. This really is one of the best Christmases ever ….I wish you and your families a blessed, peaceful, memory filled Christmas and a very, very Happy New Year !
Hugs, Val

Happy Holidays to all the Brave Girls out there and a special THANKS to Melody and Kathy for inspiring me every day!
HERE’S TO AN AWESOME 2012!
Melody and Kathy,
Thank you for the beautiful gift. You both are such an incredible inspiration.
Have a wonderful holiday celebration.

Those are so great. You could also use them in an art journal as a theme or idea starter d
For a page. Since I did the SR1 and SR2, Soul Book I am working regularly in my art journal.
This holiday my husband decided he did not want to be married anymore so I have been really leaning on the daily truths to help me through. Keep it up girls for me this 2012 is going to be a hard year of ending relationships and then starting a new life. This time it will be the life I’m ment to live.
Dear Kathy & Melody,
I missed the conversation starters to use for the holidays. I plan to keep them for our next
family gathering.
I would like to thank you so very much for your kind, gentle and loving inspiration in the
“Daily Truths”. The past six months have been filled with grief, sadness, confusion, hurt, disillusionment, self-doubt -along with low self esteem which crushed my joy!
I want you to know how much I have looked forward to those daily affirmations…..they give me hope and courage to continue moving forward. Many a tear has been shed reading DT’s, the words touch my heart to its core.
Thank you, thank you for the words of encouragement.
Happy and Blessed New Year:)
