Live Life as Play

Playing, for me, is a childlike experience of spontaneous joy in a conscious activity, where there is adventure, growth and learning.

On a recent trip to Brazil for Carnaval in Rio, I played each of the ten days and one night, all night, in the making of a dream come true. Nina and I grew up in New Orleans and have been friends since childhood. We love everything about Mardi Gras and vowed that someday we'd see Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro . February 22, 2009, was that day and it was Nina's birthday, too! We celebrated with great joy; what an adventure in our “Live Life to the Fullest Game”. We planned the details, traveled on our own and awoke each morning ready to play.

Look back into your childhood and remember the games you loved to play. Name your game and become consciously creative as you strategize your next move. Play is a stress and anxiety reducer and it extends the life span . Start now by using your ‘Live Life as Play' card.

Points to Ponder

• What is your favorite game ?
  
  
• How are you creating “play” in your life?
  
  
• If life were a board game, where would your piece land next?

Call me and together we will create and strategize your “game” and make it fun to play.

Warm Regards,
