have been loving the different “this-or-that” posts that have been roving around social media. You know the ones I’m referring to, right?
Do you like coffee or tea?
Mountains or beach?
Sweaters and boots, or flip flops and shorts?
As a social media manager, I use this-or-that posts to remind clients about options. And it works. People love to give you their preferences and tell you exactly what they want.
It’s that time of year where we pause our hectic lives and press the imaginary reset button. Of course, we know those reset buttons by their more familiar name, New Year’s resolutions.
Time to say goodbye to the could-have-beens and the should-have-beens for the current year. Time to look forward to the what-could-bes and what-should-bes. I’m talking about a new year. And in a year in which so much was canceled and delayed due to COVID-19, we are all looking forward to the first day of the new year.
This is a crazy time, right?
We are in a situation where our homes are more multifunctional than ever—school, office, home, and gym.
This has been a topic of conversation for a lot of people, and Instagram has blown up with hashtags featuring some unique perspectives on exercise at home, even yoga poses with a wine glass in hand. While some have found the silver lining of this pandemic (e.g. more hours to workout, more time in nature and with family, or more mindfulness), others have found the stress of homes crowded with kids or fur babies to be a blessing.
The AWN traditions and protocol team hopes you will enjoy this post about table settings and “dressing” the table. A time to reflect on family and all of our blessings!
With the holidays fast approaching, it’s a great time to keep up your family traditions or experiment with new decoration ideas. You can set the table with varying heights for the appetizers and use festive table linens, candles, and a centerpiece!
Resilience has been the key word for 2020. This year has brought us a pandemic, an economic crisis, an upheaval of normalcy, and so much more. Yet, through it all, we have persevered.
As James Lane Allen once said, “adversity does not build character, it reveals it.” This year, the nation—and the world—has experienced adversity.
Well, most of it, that is.
It seems that no matter who your ears tune into these days, someone somewhere is sharing their story of sorrow and distress. This year has really done a number on a number of us.
My bishop, for example, was put on life support, my beautiful baby girl had to be tested for COVID-19, and close friends of mine lost loved ones. The stories go on and on. But even amidst all of this chaos there is hope, good news, and, yes, even blessings.
