February 2013
Greetings!
 
"Do a loony-goony dance, 'Cross the kitchen floor, 
Put something silly in the world , That ain't been there before."
~ Shel Silverstein
 
I love to be silly! Anyone who knows me ought not be surprised by that announcement, as I prove it all the time. Silliness helps me relieve stress, enhance creativity, and generally enjoy myself more than I would otherwise. I think enjoying ourselves should be a priority! Otherwise, what is the point of doing anything? We can have great and lofty goals financially, spiritually, and any other -ally, but if we do not enjoy ourselves while we are attaining our goals and chasing our dreams, it is just a big pile of struggle. Yes, life is struggle; and that does not mean we should sacrifice fun.
 
I know some people who think that being silly is the same thing as being ignorant, lazy or wasting time.
Courage is perfect, and I think being silly is the courage to be less than perfect, therefore perfection is inherent in silliness. So it follows that if you strive for perfection, you should be as silly as you can be!
Wait a second... it sounds like I think I am perfect. Now THAT is just plain silly!
 
 
 

We can't wait to see you here!

"I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins."

Our 2013 Italy Itinerary is revealed!

Join us for a Delicious Adventure!

We take wining, dining and traveling to extraordinary levels! Monica & Mark partner with Doumina Whyman, The Enthusiastic Traveler, to take 16 people on a fabulous 7 night gourmet food & wine tour of the Veneto region in Italy.

You will encounter the local people, culture, food, wine and traditions of these amazing regions as no other visitor can.

Doumina & Monica created a food and wine tour that includes exclusive meals, hands-on cooking classes, famous art, renowned cities, historic churches, ancient ruins, family-owned wineries, and so much more. If you love food and wine, and you want to experience Italy, rather than to simply visit there, this is the trip for you. Click the link above for more information, and get on the list for this amazing trip.
