Wake Up Take A Minute Podcasts presents, Let's Celebrate-Episode 38, with your host, Andrea Holman!

There has been a lot of celebration over the past weekend in the USA, as we just celebrated 4th of July! I wanted to take a look at the milestones in our lives which cause us to seek out celebration!

Throughout history, different cultures have practiced celebrations for many reasons. Some for their Gods, Sun, Rain, Marriage and New Life! The list goes on and on! I found that the ancient Mayan culture actually sacrificed humans after what we would call a sporting event; however, for them this game "Pitz" was utilized for religious and political reasons! Sometimes, even to avoid war. The loosing team, would be sacrificed! Wow!

One thing is for sure, these celebrations were utilized to pass down the cultures' history, traditions and beliefs.

What do you celebrate? Why do you celebrate? I believe that one thing our ancestors did get right, was celebrating and creating a sense of community! We need to get back to this!

Let's look at ways we celebrate around the world and some that hit close to home!

As Always, Be You - Cause I'm Taken!
