Brilliant Celebrations

<p>Talking to my friend Teresa Funke today and was inspired by her fun idea for celebrating her birthday.</p> <p>Buy one lottery ticket for every year of her life and give those tickets to anyone she meets.</p> <p>Celebration is a central part of our life together as humans. It's a central aspect of living in community and we are unique as a species in that we look for reasons to celebrate - milestones, rites of passage, getting up in the morning - celebration is a human thing.</p> <p>As I've gotten older, celebration has become a much more important thing to remember. I haven't always been good at it, and it still feels awkward, but it matters. More in the Coffee Break about that.</p> <p>A great way to celebrate Teresa would be to buy her book, Bursts of Brilliance for a Creative Life here: <a href="https://www.teresafunke.com/product/bursts-of-brilliance/" target="_blank">https://www.teresafunke.com/product/bursts-of-brilliance/</a></p> <p>#creativity #community #celebration&nbsp;</p>
