Text comments and questions here! September was filled with celebrations including my loved ones' birthdays (mom, Woody, Brian, Alex, Arnold, and Chauncey) and my 17th wedding anniversary! There was much to celebrate on these special days.  September also reminded me that every single day is special. There's no need to wait for a particular day or time to celebrate. We can choose to do so at any time.  Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and usually includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers. Libation of the Month: Prima Donna .75 oz Vodka.5 oz Limoncello.75 oz Pomegranate JuiceTop with ProseccoServe in a rocks glassGarnish with fresh mintAdd a fun strawMentions:  Sparkles (Smyrna)The Sinclair (Madison, GA)Crowne Plaza (Augusta, GA)Craft & Vine (Augusta, GA)Connect with Me:  Subscribe * Follow * Rate * Comment See me on Instagram Reach out on Bluesky @laughingnotesEmail me at [email protected] laughterandlibations.com

Text comments and questions here! This month's theme is about unexpected situations and the freedom to choose how to respond. Lately, the unexpected seems to be happening every day. It means we all get a chance to practice dealing with life's surprises.  I share a few experiences with unexpected situations, lessons learned, and many laughs in this episode.  Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and usually includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good within and around you. Libation of the month is based on whatever I fancy or feel inspired by at the time. I share step-by-step instructions and you can mix right along with me. Rants or stories are about anything I find funny and want to share. Ask me a question. It might be featured in a future episode.Libation of the Month: Sake Spritz 1.0 Sake.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice.5 oz Italian Liqueur (Italicus)Top with ChampagneServe in a large wine glassGarnish with a lime wedgeAdd a fun strawMentions:  Highway I-75Best BuyGE ProfileConnect with Me:  Subscribe * Follow * Rate * Comment See me on Instagram Reach out on Bluesky @laughingnotesEmail me at [email protected] laughterandlibations.com

Text comments and questions here! This month I'm talking about kindness. Acts of kindness have long-lasting effects. We take a few moments to celebrate them.  I also share how I nearly drove my family crazy by insisting that we ditch the old coffee creamers for a healthier one. I share what happened when I threw out the old coffee creamers and used the Yuka App to try to find a new one. The family is traumatized. I'm tickled. I think we're even, right? : ) Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and usually includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good within and around you. Libation of the month is based on whatever I fancy or feel inspired by at the time.

Text comments and questions here! In honor of my birthday, which is December 8th, this is a reminder to me and you that it's time to push forward and implement the ideas we've been carrying around for who knows how long! The gestation period is over! Make 2023 about implementing your ideas. That's what I'm going to do.  Mentions My Birthday: December 8th I had a lot going on for my birthday and published this episode about 30 minutes after midnight. However, it's still my birthday somewhere in the world, right?  Champagne: I didn't actually say which one I was drinking in the episode. Oops!
