Keep things open-ended and informal today. Avoid anything contrived, fussy, or Martha Stewart. This is your moment to gather loved ones close and mutually enjoy each other. Undoubtedly, food will be part of any communion. Make it simple, hearty, and self-serve.
Today is about unabashed enjoyment.
Don't hold back or censor thoughts. Let things flow without a moment of self-consciousness. Spend time with people who pique your imagination. Listen to those who have very different life experiences than your own. Every provocative remark or story stimulates your inventive, curious mind and carves out new thought waves for future projects.
