Making a Pinteresting Christmas

I'm sure I'm not the only person to ever do this, but I want to talk about how awesome it is to use a pinterest board to get everyone excited about a holiday. I haven't been to my parent's home in Tampa since last Christmas. My brother and sister will be there - this time with their significant others - and I just think it's just awesome that I can create this pinterest board of all the things we usually do (crabbies, cheese and crackers, Burl Ives Christmas records) and all these other things we might want to do (like strawberry hat Santa brownies above) and my mom and sister and my sister's boyfriend (and my brother and dad too if they ever went on pinterest) can pin the foods and things they want to do and we can all get excited about seeing each other and all the quantities of delicious food we will eat and ancient Christmas records we will listen to.

Practicing an art is a way to make your soul grow

“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”  — Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

One Spark of Madness

I've kept this on my computer desktop for the last two weeks. I think that it can help some of us perfectionists and self-development junkies remember that the crazy part may be the best part.
