Speaking of books, I received a wonderful book that I've really wanted to read, Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon, from my Google+ +Secret Santa, whoever he or she is.
There was no gift card, so I have no idea who sent it via Amazon. But, I'm glad that they did.
A quote from the book...
"Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn." - T. S. Eliot
Will the real Secret Santa please come forward so that I can thank you?
So a big fat Merry, Merry, Ho-Ho-Ho for that! Because I love books. Can't get enough of them. So Merry Christmas, for real. I also received money (We love when that happens, now don't we?), a beautiful mantel/scarf, and some pretty cool flavored olive oils (Especially love the garlic infused flavor) and balsamic vinegar's that I'm anxious to try from one of my favorite upscale gourmet grocery stores, Dean and Deluca.
Here's a twist. What was your favorite gift that you gave away? And what did you get?
A "Happy Holiday's" greeting pretty much covers every holiday salutation this time of the year.
So, on that note... Be safe you guys. Have fun! Merry Christmas!

I do this... I write to help to create to opportunities for all who choose to pursue their passion to have parties almost irregardless regard to economic constraints.
I think if we keep talking about the cost of parties (I write blog posts, you write comments), together, maybe we can break down some of the party industry's price barriers and shame some of the people who've taken your money and delivered a poor quality product right into growing a conscious and treating you right (nice thought, huh?).
Opportunities to be inspired about parties are everywhere. Yet, people looking out for your wallet are few and far between. My goal is to inspire you, causing you to question the way things are that have been the status quo for too long. When we stand together and speak up, we can be a powerful force.
Let's keep the conversation of change going. Because in the sea of everyone talking, one voice is a whisper... several voices are a scream.
Leave a comment and share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions below. Remember to be as specific as possible because what you have to say helps us all.
Always... be encouraged and encourage others too,
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” - Steve Jobs
