“I love to laugh, and
laughter is one of my favorite things. When you have a really good
laugh, you feel great afterwards.” ~ Bill Engvall
What are some of your favorite things to do, think about or enjoy during the holidays?
Since we’re in the middle
of the 2017 holiday season and already beginning to wish others a Happy
New Year, I could think of no more timely a question to ask readers!
This is a Christmas-timed
podcast, but it’s suitable for everyone anywhere, regardless of
background, religion or circumstances. The podcast invite others to
think about and reflect upon their favorite things in life.
In looking for a photo to introduce
today’s post, I fell upon the montage above, originally fashioned by the
graphic artist who designed my Art of Happiness
series. I supplied the artist with personal photos, a playful fleur de
lis and several vintage-inspired frames I’d drawn on parchment paper.
The background photo was eventually
omitted from my book covers, but I’m thrilled to present it today as one
of my favorite things! The delightful image captures a happy summer
moment between Nick Carella and Emily Guidetti a few months before their
1929 wedding.
Years later, I’d fondly refer to these two as my “Nana
and Poppy.” They passed away when I was young but left a legacy that
remains with me today, one that enriches my heart, soul and spirit.
This holiday season, you may be celebrating in big ways or small, or maybe not at all.
However, you can always find time to think about your favorite things.

I’m honored to be featured among 21 women from around the world in a brand new book release entitled I Bared My Chest — metaphorically speaking, of course!
I’m featured contributor in Chapter 3 which I’ve entitled, Dancin' in the Streets.
With perhaps my greatest attempt at “nakedness” and transparency yet, I
disclose things never shared before in my blogs, podcasts or books:
intimate details of early life, dating, career, finances,
spirituality, heart challenges, relationships and so much more!
I hope
you’ll check out this amazingly eclectic collection of women described as
“Bold, Brave and Ballsy” for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
Pre-order the ebook, audio book or paperback by checking out this link for I Bared My Chest.
May you discover that you’re bold, brave and ballsy in your own way, too!
