Watch This Tonight

This oldie but goodie is a great reminder that outlook is everything ...

Hello Wonderful. As we head into the final stretch of the year we think about the people we love, the people we lost, and everything we're grateful for. Gratitude, like 'authenticity', has turned into a buzzword, a meme, and even a marketing strategy. It's a fleeting state that gets pushed aside by impatience, entitlement, bad news, and pain. There's always more we want to do, improve, strive for but what it all boils down to is this: Be Here Now (as Ram Dass sagely said) and we would add, 'and be grateful that you can be.' We wish you the happiest of holidays. Thank you for supporting THE WHAT. ISSUE #156 Smells Like Holiday Spirit December 19, 2018 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker     "If you concentrate on what you don't have you will never, ever have enough."   - Oprah Winfrey   THE WHAT LIST 100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever. The Classic.   Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell is a classic film that holds up after six decades. There are awkward racist scenes (a la Breakfast at Tiffany's) that were typical of that era but Mame's flawed lovable character, her fashion sense, the safe space she creates for society's outliers, her positive attitude, and resilience to survive the Great Depression is inspiring. H/T to HH for reminding us of this gem.   The Cast.   Highway To Well or HTW is another favorite podcast of ours, created by the two friends who founded Blueprint Cleanse (and created a billion-dollar category). Now they're back to talk with some of the most notable, intriguing and controversial guests from the world of wellness, drawing out the personal stories behind the brands, fads and faces of this rapidly evolving industry.    The Comfort. Flowers are always thoughtful but sometimes when you're sick or blue, or both, there's nothing more comforting than a bowl of hot soup. We discovered Spoonful of Comfort last year when a friend sent us a care package and now it's our go-to gift for loved ones who need a little extra TLC. Get well soon AG! The Compendium.
