After a sleep-over at his cousin’s, my 10-year old son came home with a “new” hand-me-down (he loves getting those from his older, cool cousin!). The shirt had a beautiful drawing of a wolf on it and an inscription underneath that read, “What wolf are you feeding?” My son told me how much he loved the shirt and then I asked him if he knew what the saying meant. He didn’t know the story of the wolves, so I told him. After the story, he ran his hand along the image of the wolf and said, “Now I like the shirt even more!” The story made a cool shirt even better… so here it is for you.
In a conversation with his grandson, an Old Cherokee describes an experience going on inside himself….
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
“The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
The new year begs us to ask ourselves the same question. As we resolve to do things better, and look down the road of a whole new year, which wolf will you feed? At Cherish Bound, our resolve is to feed prosperity, opportunity, hope, belonging, healing and sharing… will you join us?
If that’s the same wolf you want to feed, over the next few weeks we will have a series of calls and information that will help you. Check back often for details and in the meantime, feel free to leave a comment sharing more about the wolf you want to feed in 2010.

One of the uniquely wonderful things about Cherish Bound is… we really are all about story. Publishing our stories is just a part of what we do. Our entire product line is built around helping everyone find, capture and share their stories. A wonderful season of story is just beginning. How can you make story a part of your holidays?
• Think about everyone on your list. How can you share the gift of story with them? Just a few ideas for everyone on your list:
For a man: How about a Sports, Hero, Military, or Lessons About Life Story Starter
Give a favorite lady: a Family Yearbook, Falling in Love, or the set of Seasons Story Starters
Teens: will love a Best Friends, It’s My Life, Hero, Discovering Me Chat Cards and Story Starters
Children: can share their stories with Giggles and Giddyup (get just one or the whole set)
Don’t forget Grandparents and those Story Starters that work for everyone like I Remember When, When I Was Little, and I Did It!
Tie them up with a pen and a favorite treat. Letting someone you love know that you want to hear their stories is an amazing gift. Sharing yours with them makes it even better!
• Have a Christmas Story Starter out on your coffee table, kitchen table or counter… anywhere your family gathers. When you are with each other, open the Story Starter and listen to your family’s thoughts and feelings about their Christmas memories. Be sure to take notes so you can create your own Holiday Memories book when the season is over.
• Set out Chat Cards at all of your family and friend gatherings this season. The Chat Cards are perfect conversation starters! Chat Cards are a perfect hostess and teacher gift as well.
• Plan some time over the holiday break to get a jump on a family yearbook for 2009. (You will be happy to be ready when you see the publishing specials coming in January!)
• Fill up a Gratitude or Favorites Journal with thoughts and memories for someone special on your list. No doubt they’ll love seeing all the ways you care about them.
• Give Recipe Minis tied to treats and/or cookie cutters, wire whisks or even wooden spoons from the dollar store. They make great neighbor, teacher and friend gifts. Give the Recipe Mini with a set of cute recipe cards or attach one of your favorite recipes as part of the gift.
It’s easy to make the power of story part of your gift-giving season.
Click here to go to the Cherish Bound store, contact your consultant or call us at 801.415.1821 and we will be happy to take care of your order over the phone.
