— When December arrives we should all have a big coffee mug, personalized with our favorite phrase. Maybe a very special photograph, it's the first step to emancipation, can you think of anything right now?
— Well, yes. A phrase that carries in its composition the word will, character, energy, energy, impetus, desire, if they were all people, they would be full of resentment towards me.
— A lot of people talk about money, travel, overall health.
— You're right, it's just that I do an exercise of introspection and I don't finish it, I dedicated myself to sleep during 2022, I have books half done, I'm a disaster in winter, I should be in vigil during the whole next year to balance my life.
— I try to bring our conversation, to Christmas rituals, it's coming up to December 21, the big Christmas spirit day.
— I have my quote, I went to the search engine and found one by Albert Einstein that struck a chord with me, it says: "There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and atomic energy; the will". Stay the night, it's been a while since we spent an early morning talking, right now listening to your voice is therapy.
— Let's make cookies or we can make a black cake, I saved my mother's recipe and I have never prepared it, it has coffee, walnuts and hazelnuts, candied fruits, a spoonful of liqueur and all the other ingredients of a conventional cake. By the way, I like the phrase that you will print on your 2023 mug, it is very powerful, sure to read it every morning, it will be a reminder, a push to meet your goals, what will you do on Christmas Eve?
— My aunt Ana will come from Italy, she is what I love the most this month, she never misses to visit us since 15 years ago, we will prepare something special to welcome her, if you wish, you can join us, she and you are similar in the way you think.
— Well, like poles repel like poles.
— I could bet that you will be the exception to that theory.
— I'll think about it, let's do something now, get paper and pencil, write 12 wishes for each month of the year 2023, this is an essential ritual in my family, to be in tune with the law of attraction, rose the room with tangerine essence that symbolizes prosperity.
— I will prepare a coffee to stimulate my neurons, I have many wishes, but right now my mind is also blank.
— Ok, it is important that you write down wishes more specific than generic, formulate them in a forceful way, like giving orders.
— I will try...
1- I will have fun on a Caribbean cruise.
2- I will spend 15 days in Ibiza in the middle of summer.
3- I will pay a surprise visit to my aunt Ana in Rome.
4- I will record a song with a professional record label.
5- I will kiss the mouth of my platonic love since high school.
— Who is it?
— It's Gary!
— Oh! But he's married now.
— I'll kiss him and then erase his memory.
— Ha ha ha ha!
6- I will make my first dress with Swarovski crystals design.
7- I will become a specialist in relaxing massages.
8- I will become a motivational consultant.
9- I will earn a million dollars.
10- I will adopt a vegan style and it will be fascinating.
11- I will reunite with family and special friends at a big party to celebrate life.
12- I will have coffee with you at Christmas to celebrate your triumphs and talk about this ritual.

— I love you.
