I Dare you to PLAY!

So, earlier this year, I created an online community called #PLAYwithYourFood. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I understand now why my heart drove me to do it, despite the doubts and the naysayers in my life. This group is really about SO much more than just food for me. It’s truly an extension of the way I choose to live my life:
? PLAYFULLY?
? JOYOUSLY ?
? CELEBRATORILY!!! ?
PLAY in Your Life!
Head Chef Karen Ricks PLAYS in the fountain, Skanderbeg Square, Tirana, Albania
 
My son captured this photo of me PLAYING in the fountains in Skanderbeg Square here in Tirana, Albania a few weeks ago. The sight of a grown woman splashing around in the water created such a stir, it was hilarious!!!
 
* A few people just continued walking by, rolling their eyes and shaking their heads at the crazy lady.
* A crowd of people gathered around to laugh with me, but at a distance. Some of them whipped out their phones to take pictures.
* A brave band of intrepid children-at-heart decided they truly ?LOVED? the example I was setting and jumped into the fountain right along with me!
 
Which group would *YOU* have been in???
 
I’m calling on those of you who are prepared to be BRAVE.
