I love champagne, not just for the taste, and I DO love the taste, but for the experience it creates. Every aspect of having a glass of champagne is a call to stop, be present, and celebrate. There is the popping of the cork, OPA! The quiet HOORAY that fizzles up with the bubbles, and then finally the cool sweet, or dry taste (your choice) you have swirling in your fancy glass.

So often we are waiting for special occasions to come around before we give ourselves permission to stop, be present, and celebrate. But life is way too short for any of that. I want to create those moments now. That means randomly pressing pause every now and then and taking a moment to celebrate any aspect of life, and if that includes a glass of champagne, it makes it all the more sweeter….or dryer, your choice!
