My Favorite Things

When I was a child, I watched the Sound of Music in Korea. The song, My Favorite Things, always reminds me to think of my favorite things and makes me feel happy instantaneously.

  1. My daughter - anytime, anywhere, whatever she does is brilliant

  2. Low tides, especially walking, talking, running, and dancing on them during sunset 

  3. Winter sunsets with hours of God’s glorious live light show on the sky 

  4. All sunsets as they disappear into the ocean with a ray of green spark at the ending 

  5. Waxing crescent moons filled with hopes and possibilities 

  6. Growth in every aspect of life: health, wealth, self, and love 

  7. Collaboration with colleagues’ mastery and humility that leads to ah-ha moment solutions

  8. Brilliant conversations that spark imagination and creativity 

  9. Time spent with friends and family that warms my heart

  10. Whatever the profession, people who are so committed and good at what they do, they naturally lead me to be in-awe of them

  11. Laughter of children

  12. Warm sunshine on my skin 

  13. Good hair days 

  14. Long handheld shower heads or someone who can install mine in a hotel room

  15. Ocean view rooms or a room with any magical view

  16. An innovative collaboration between humans and machines that changes the trajectory of humanity for the better

  17. Autonomous driving when it works so well

  18. Activities with family and friends: travel, golf, pickleball, skiing, hiking, weight lifting, yoga, waking and talking, beach walks, beach cleanups, game nights, karaoke, music, theater, musicals, opera, concerts, wine tasting, making artisan cocktails, Jeffersonian dinners, museums, snorkeling, learning anything new 

  19. Time for myself: meditation, retreats, panchakarma, sound bath, massages, 

  20. A private moment with my God
