My parents jumped on the Transcendental Meditation bandwagon back in the 70s, and my brother and I were dragged along with them. We were only 8 and 10, but we were entrusted to keep our mantras a secret. I did fine (I was the good child), but my brother used to threaten to scream his mantra in public whenever he had a meltdown, which was often. Mom is eighty now and continues to practice TM. I wish you the best on your spiritual journey. Well wishes to you and Christina in 2022.
Thanks for this & happy new year to you too! Funny thing about that mantra. When I first got it, Christina was like, "but you can tell me, right?" And I was like, "no, it's a secret." And she was like, "but you can tell ME, right?" And I had to explain the purpose of the mantra and why you don't want to share it. She gets it now, but your story about your brother made me think of that. Also, here's to your mom rocking TM into her eighties... wow!
Thanks for the shout-out, Michael! If I had spent the time to write a list like yours, you would’ve made my list too. Thanks for the laughs and thoughtful insights this year.

What an honor to be included on your list! Also, I'm very curious to know what you'll do with your soul once your John DeVore lease is up?
That's a good question! After that, I suppose I'll lease out my soul to level-up my cooking & baking skills :)
Thanks for the holiday shoutout, Michael, and congratulations on 10 years with Christina! Hope you have many, many more.
I’m jealous you’ve been to a Meow Wolf exhibit. I wanna goooooo.
Thank you on all counts! And you must go to Meow Wolf, you’ll love it! I hear there’s one in Santa Fe and one in Denver, so those are on my list.
The Vegas one is closest to us. We’re planning a trip there for next year, virus-permitting.
Nice!
