Sour Cream & Surprise Parties!

About this episode

Alana discusses her love for sour cream and the joy of surprise parties while reflecting on the importance of letting go of rigid life plans.

SOUR CREAM IS MY WEAKNESS! This episode was really fun to listen back to... as much as it sounds so silly ... Sour Cream has always brought me A LOT Of Joy... and I can NO longer eat it ... so I talk (or vent) about that ... But one of the main themes here is as I am realizing when I "let go" of the reigns of my life... most importantly my "plans" ... become almost like a SURPRISE... its that immediate thought that made me pick up the "Mic" aka my phone... and start recording. I absolutely LOVE suprise parties ... so if I keep that thought in the back of my mind (and If I can get YOU to change your perspective on things "always going according to plan") ... then perhaps we can all just ENJOY the party more ... and not worry so much about the guest list?! Let me know your thoughts on this one guys! Love Always, Alana
