give them a
an unpredictable holiday gift for your loved ones
Danny found his mother waiting for him with her hands on her hips and an expression of exasperation. “Here you are! Why did you leave that mess in the TV room last night?” Danny, who did not remember making any mess, began to protest that his little sister must have been the culprit. His mother raised her hand: “It’s all you stuff, Daniel. Go down there right now and clean it up before you do another thing.” In a huff, feeling he was being treated unfairly, Danny walked to the darkened TV room and turned on the light. In the next instant a dozen of his friends leaped out from behind the furniture and closet where they had been eagerly hiding, shouting in unison: “Surprise!”

people celebrating their love for him—Danny could not resist the joy and had a beautiful time with his family and friends. As his parents learned in the following years, the dark stigma of his birthday had been permanently defeated by the surprise party.
What Happened Exactly? Danny was the recipient of a “love bomb”: an intentionally planned “nodal event” intended to break loose the stuckness in an individual, relationship or family. Okay . . . so what’s a nodal event? A “node” is a bump of some kind that protrudes and gets our attention. A nodal event is a sort of speedbump on the ex- pressway of life: an event you never forget that is often life chang- ing.
