Hello everyone! I can hardly believe that the end of 2021 is in clear sight. It has certainly been an adventure with so many memorable moments. One of the most satisfying for me was the publication of my first book in November.
I have been humbled by the outpouring of support for Your Journey, Your Way. It is so exciting for it to be a part of gift giving this season. So many folks scooped up the limited edition gift set featuring a handmade necklace by the Italian artist, Giulia Sciutto. Follow her page on social media: Happy Bee Jewelry, to see her latest designs.
So what is next for YJYW fans? I have started a YouTube channel and in January will be releasing Put it into Practice videos to accompany the book! Be sure and subscribe!
Marcello, my standard poodle got one of his holiday gifts early. He absolutely loves his new orthopedic furry bed that is in the corner of my studio/office. Recently a friend was talking about gift-giving and how important it is to put thought into your presents.
This year I am opting for experiences over stuff! Spending time with people that I adore is so much more satisfying than anything bought from a store.
Here are a few ideas:
Evening out looking at holiday lights!
Day-Trip to NOLA
Strolling downtown Fairhope, Alabama
Coffee with friends at Red Bar
Belligrath Gardens
Lunch with family or friends
A romantic dinner at Osman's
There are so many adventures for you to share with others. Be creative this year and give the gift of your time to those that you care about. Put away the distractions and be in the moment! You will create lasting memories.
