Hello,
I attended your show in Cleveland. It was a wonderful show and I was happy to attend. My mom passed away in May, I kept several voicemails from her, but the One I love the most is for Christmas she bought me a Kermit the Frog chia pet, she called to ask if it had grown. She asked me to call her back to let her know. She always said I love you after every voicemail.

Sumergirse en la naturaleza beneficia a la salud mental y física, concretamente disminuye el estrés y la ansiedad, mejora del estado de ánimo y reduce la presión arterial, lo que ha llevado en los últimos años a practicar como terapia los baños de bosque o Shinrin-yoku, una iniciativa cuyos beneficios recoge un informe elaborado por el Observatorio de Salud y Medio Ambiente del Instituto DKV de la Vida Saludable, en colaboración con el Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal).

Why are you already celebrating Christmas?

Like "autumn creep," the encroachment of Christmas upon the final Sundays after Pentecost and the four weeks of Advent is one of those unfortunate results of living in a society in which we allow corporate marketing departments to set the tempo of our existence. The high consumer spending that accompanies Halloween and follows Thanksgiving must begin earlier and earlier each year, and the birth of Jesus Christ must be made synonymous with the purchase of certain products and a rather banal color palette, which is why Starbucks is already selling its bad coffee in red, green, and white paper cups. Whatever happened to waiting?

The Good Old Days

Nostalgia

We take it for granted that nostalgia is an ordinary, harmless emotion. You won’t get a referral for a psychologist because you’ve posted a childhood photo with the caption #ThrowbackThursday, or because you have a weak spot for Lucky Charms or Fruit Roll-Ups. But that’s a relatively new way of thinking.

The scientist who coined the term “nostalgia” in 1688 thought of this emotion as a neurological illness caused by demons. Other scientists latched onto this conception of nostalgia as a disease. It took marketers, centuries later, to realize that nostalgia has benefits.
