One of my favorite parts of the movie Pulp Fiction is where Uma Thurman’s character is asking a few get to know you questions to John Travolta’s character. For example:

When someone’s talking are you really listening or just waiting to talk next?

If you’d honestly answer, waiting to talk next and c’mon… Alot of us are.. Or how many times have you been in a situation where you’re mid conversation and realize you have completely dazed off and have no idea what the conversation is about.

If you’re interested in learning some Deep Listening skills, check out this workshop at the Shambala Meditation Center from January 16 - 18th. (more…)

Soo..Downtown Atlanta is not per say the most happening part of the city nor is it the home of some of the best dining in the city.

However - there are some oldies but goodies here…and some new restaurants as well. To help get new clientele and show Atlantans what’s going on at these restaurants - We have Atlanta Restaurant Week.

Participating restaurants have a pre-set menu with about 3 choices in the appetizer, entree, and dessert categories and all for the fine price of $25 (Much less than what these meal would normally cost).

Want to know which restaurants are participating and which ones are worth going to?? Read on my dear reader friend… (more…)

Georgia’s football team beats Georgia Tech for the Seventh Year in a row!! Score 31 – 17. And then get this…the Georgia Tech coach gets fired two days later.

Even though I am a graduate from the University of Georgia, I never much got into the football world. This is an oddity because Athens, Georgia loves some Georgia football. The Friday before a game RVs start driving into town and parking on campus. The town turns into a sea of red and black. I have always been a big fan of the tailgating – but the games I can take or leave.
