If Julie Andrews can share a few of her favorite things, so can I. (The Sound of Music anyone?)

1. Spanish Festivals

The food. The music. The people. Enough said.

2. Morning Routines

There really is no better way to set yourself up for a good day then developing a routine that works for you. For me, I wake up and workout right away. Makes me feel good about myself and wakes me up. Then I make breakfast, and I mean I make a real breakfast. After making breakfast, I sit down with my food, coffee, and bible and have quiet time. This really puts me in the right mindset for the day.

3. Coffee and Donuts

There really is no better combination then a cup of coffee and a warm donut. It’s even better when shared with friends.

4. Laughing

It’s food for the soul. If you can make me laugh, we’ll be fast friends.

5. Long Conversations

I’m talking about the type of conversations that are completely unplanned. You just start talking with someone and before you know it an hour has passed. You had other things you could’ve been doing in that time, but none of that matters anymore. The conversation was worth it.
