Hello Darling One!
If it didn’t register with a previous email – my Birthday was last week (3/11).
I threw myself a party and mulled over the possibility of a theme beforehand.
A gathering of any sort, especially in the spirit of one’s big day is sure to be fun enough.
But I personally think THEMES make a soiree infinitely more interesting and delightful as all theme related items feel more special and where people easily feel UNIFIED by following that theme TOGETHER.
So this year I mused on what I desired to have my gathering centered around.
I recognized that I love parties.
I love them as an outlet to let people know what’s remarkable and treasured about them, but also for awesome people to meet other awesome people.
The term, “cross pollination”, sprang to mind – and BEES it became.
So what did I do?
I RAN with that theme.
Images, inviting people to my hive, swarming at 7pm, having cocktails with bees in mind (Coffee Buzz Buzz martinis, and a Bee’s Knees cocktail with a lemon juice and honey simple syrup mixture), temporary bee tattoos, dance cards for the purpose of cross pollination and colony expansion, and even a BEE-UTIFUL cake with bees encircling it and a fresh flower topper complete with bouncy bumble bees on wires and a sparkly, “Queen Bee”, sign.
Glorious.
People wore black and yellow, brought flowers (as gifts and props), and some even wore a bear hat (bears and the bees?), antenna, a huge bee medallion, and even carried a BEE STAFF.
FUN!
The thing that was so GREAT and so VALUABLE about putting more effort into an event or a celebration was that it RAISED EXCITEMENT and therefore the vibration.
When we hunt around for something delightful, that spills over into something even MORE delightful – we keep taking ourselves higher and higher feeling AMAZING where life is undeniably GRAND.
The same party that was always about a birthday, people, food and booze – was now somehow MORE.
More exciting! MORE fun! MORE ALIVE!!!
And feeling ALIVE is the BEST.
IT could seem CRAZY to put a load of time, energy and money into one night consisting of several hours – but the elevation, the collective connection created for those who attended, and the feel good MEMORIES are literally priceless.
SO GOOD.
So if you’re ever tap dancing around wanting to do something special for ANY occasion or REASON – know that GOING FOR IT is ALWAYS a GREAT idea.
AND if you’re wondering how this relates to weight loss – in Fat Burning PRO we talk about how the feeling of connection NOURISHES to the degree that we need to use food/booze/shopping/social media LESS.
AND we also USE Carb Feasts strategically (like at a party) to help with the body never plateauing or stopping on it’s weight loss journey.
Freeing (and FUN) stuff.
So if you’d like a community that’s rooting for each other, prioritizing pleasure, and putting value on the MORE that is life WHILE experiencing EASIER weight loss and HARDER weight gain, please check out Fat Burning PRO.
