Do you remember the scene from Peaceful Warrior where they are walking up the mountain?

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson One of the best ways to enjoy anything better, is find your way of doing it. Take a cue from Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” This might be as simple as doing your shopping at odd times, taking the back way or the scenic route. This can be tough ...
It’s so easy for the holidays to come and go. Make it a point to at least glance at your local events calendar to see if anything tickles your fancy. I was amazed by how many things were going on in my local area. Luckily, I got to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “The Last Christmas Eve.” It was the most incredible show of fire and ice I’ve ever...

Growing up, I had a few traditions. Somewhere along the way, I added wearing a Christmas hat, just before Christmas. It’s not much, but somehow it became a l...

The kind that remind you just how generous and kind a human being can be. In fact, there are so many that you would think that it would be easy to browse great collections of these. Sadl...
Some people really go to town. I love it. Especially, since I don’t do much. Instead, I get to really appreciate the master pieces that some people put together. I know that for some people this really is their highlight for the year. The lights are a reflection of their holiday spirit and they want to share it with the world, in their way.
One of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit is to watch some Christmas movies. Here are a few of my favorites: 1. A Christmas Carol 2. A Christmas Story 3. Bad Santa 4. Elf 5.
