#119 - Plan Your Opening Ceremony
Opening and closing ceremonies are the magic pill that can make different seasons and transitions come more alive. The problem with moving from one season to another, one holiday to another, one season of life to another is that we have our feet in two different camps most of the time. The transitions are relentless and can easily strip the joy away from seasons of life that we really love. That’s where opening and closing ceremonies work their magic.Companion Links For This EpisodeGet your copy of The Holiday Docket at the early bird price of $22 from now until September 5.If you missed me talking about opening and closing ceremonies in episode 36, listen to The Lazy Genius Conquers Holiday Overwhelm.I mention Knox McCoy’s summer opening ceremony in this episode.
