“You have experienced this: one person begins to laugh and soon everyone nearby is laughing, chuckling away while not always aware of what the joke is in the first place.  Laughter is contagious. It doesn’t matter how loud, boisterous, funny or cute it is; its sounds tickle others into submission – happy submission. Your spirit is like that, too. No matter how subtly, spontaneously, pointedly or shyly you exude your genuine essence, it...

“Are you in-between? In between jobs, a relationship, midway through a renovation, deciding where to vacation, what to wear to the party, having dessert or not, trying a new restaurant or sticking with the tried-and-true one? Maybe it’s not finishing a book – a first for you; are you scared about calling off the wedding when you know s/he’s not the one?  People, situations – your life – seemed to be such a sure thing before.

An awaited visit from a dear friend on hold due to illness. Unexpected thunderstorms nix the golf game. Fifteen chairs are needed; ten are available.

Having been taught that sacrifice, frugality and self-denial are cornerstones of the good person – of a good, disciplined life – one can easily conclude that self-indulgence, extravagance and celebrating abundance are therefore the black sheep of human behaviour.
