Welcome to Entertain the Possibilities, a lifestyle blog in which we will share recipes, music, stories and pictures about parties and travel, tidbits about books, the creative arts and pop culture, and random other things.

I’m not 100% sure exactly what a lifestyle blog is, and Googling for answers results in more confusion as it seems to be a catch-all for “Look at my perfect life!” Perfection is not something you’ll encounter very often on this site (although some of the music might qualify). It’s a concept that I find intimidating and elusive, so I’d rather focus on meaningful moments, heartfelt connections and the satisfaction that comes from everything being just right for right now.

A little open-ended? Why yes, that’s where the “possibilities” part of the name comes in.

The “entertain” bit is about how much fun it is to throw a party and make memorable experiences with your guests, whether it’s a big ol’ house party, a low-key hangout with friends, or a cozy dinner for two. We’ll talk about planning tasty and interesting menus, bar chef wizardry, and creating a mood with décor and tunes. Sometimes we entertain ourselves with a good book, an inspirational painting or photograph, or a compelling play or film. The artistic possibilities will also have a presence on this blog.

The phrase also has personal significance. I feel that I’m entertaining the possibilities for a life well lived by doing things a little differently than before. Priorities are shifting. Work-life balance feels more urgent. Wish list items that were filed under ‘do it later’ have become ‘why not now?’ After many years of working for others – sometimes in stressful environments, sometimes the proverbial cakewalk – I’ve decided to take a chance on self-employment, tapping into my entrepreneurial and creative sides. This blog is part of these changes, with more developments to come. All in good time. And I do think it will be a very good time, entertaining all of the possibilities.

So please, come on in, pull up a chair and let me get you a cool drink. I’m so happy you’re here!
