Laughter and Libations is about the intentional pursuit of joy. I'm challenging myself to be courageous and share my stories as I shake, stir, strain, steep, brew, and mix up my favorite libations

This month has brought us challenges associated with hurricane season, and I'm reminded to be grateful for every single day.
The list of celebrations for September is long and includes my mother's birthday, Woody's birthday, and my 15th wedding anniversary! I also take time to celebrate the power of our mothers.
If you need a laugh, you've come to the right place. I'm sure one of my rants (stories) will at least make you smile. Perhaps you can relate to having plans go wrong and being stuck in a weird situation.
The libation of the month didn't turn out too well for me. It doesn't make the cut. Still, it was fun mixing it up!

Whiskey tasting has never been so satisfying. This one is going to always be in my home stash! I can see myself sipping Kikori and enjoying conversations with close family and friends. It's so easy on the palate, even with the sharp heat.
Try it and let me know what you think.

It's all about health this month. I'm celebrating feeling good in my body and even the experience of going through medical testing and waiting for the results. This isn't usually at the top of my list of fun things to do. It's also not fun when you run out of medication and must go through the process of renewing a prescription. Renewing a prescription is supposed to be easy. Ha! Not this time. Learn from my mistake.

There is a connection between your relationships and the laughter and joy you experience. Perhaps you haven't thought about this. I've been thinking a lot about it lately.
Are your interactions with others filled with laughter and joy most of the time, some of the time, or rarely? What if you discovered you rarely interact with people with whom you laugh the most? What if you discovered you rarely interact with the people who bring your the most joy? What would you do? Could you change those interactions to increase laughter and joy (for you and the other person)?
This episode can help give you insights about your relationships and give you a starting point for how to change your interactions to align with your daily laughter goal and your desire for more joy.

This month has been filled with rain. I mean rain--as in rainy days. I also mean rain--as in challenges. Finding laughter and joy in the rain is no easy feat. However, it can be done, and this month offered many opportunities to practice. Sometimes, I did it. Sometimes, I didn't. Laugh along with me as I share stories about the family vacation and the rain that came with it.
I'm also celebrating my maternal grandmother's birthday! Reverend Dr. Lillie Pearl Taylor is 96 years old this month! I love her leadership. She has always been an inspiration to me.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this bourbon! It's a winner for me. I can see myself sitting out on the patio with music in my ears, a book in my hand, and this bourbon on my palate. Whiskey Distillery has done it again! Try it and let me know what you think.

It's summer, and I'm outside! I hope you are enjoying yourself outside this season, too. Don't you love a great festival with the beautiful people, music, food, and libations? I do! I do! Except when the unexpected shows up and stops the fun. That's exactly what happened to me this month. I share all the details. Listen and let me know about festivals in the Atlanta area that might work for me :) Please, help!

Did you set goals for the year? If you did, now is a great time to stop and check in on your progress for the year. Take a few moments to see if you're on track or not. I offer a quick way to do it. You know I like to keep things simple and effective. Perhaps you'll find that you are right where you need to be. If not, this is your chance to make changes. That's what I'm doing during this episode. Let's check in together and then keep moving forward!

This month the importance of resilience is on my mind. Why? Because change is all around and it's not going to stop. We have to figure out how to be with change.
Rants include a new take on a veggie burger and Part 3 of "Those people who don't know how to act in public."
I wrap up with a question for you. Send your response and you could be featured in an upcoming episode.

What happened to the peace I experienced while on vacation? Why does it feel like I never took a vacation at all? If you know what I'm talking about, raise your hand. I've been going and going, and I don't want to keep going at the same pace. An adjustment is needed and slowing down and creating more space for peace seems to be the way to go. If you need to do the same thing, I have an idea that I think can help.
