I think "experiences" will be the buzzword for 2009. Give experiences, go after experiences, create the kind of experiences that are memory-builders. And it's not about spending money, either. Here's a free one: this Saturday, from 1 to 5 at the Sierra Starr Tasting Room on Main Street downtown Grass Valley, there will be a free wine tasting with free food provided by Villa Venezia. Meet Phil and Ann Starr, their son Jackson, and their incredible Heinz 57 dog, Chewey. Take a friend, or make a new one.
This weekend is full of live music opportunities...check out Miners Foundry, Center for the Arts, Coopers. Ask to volunteer at an event if you can't afford the ticket prices.
Create an experience: Think of a fun theme dinner and invite some friends you haven't seen in awhile, or some friends who are not doing too well financially.
We need to be positive and hopeful in these challenging times. Let's try to focus on what is good in our lives and in our community.
Be thankful for all that we have.
