And you thought YOUR holidays were hilarious. The fact I married into an Irish Catholic family makes this even funnier!

Last year I posted a series of Christmas blogs with the same curiosity: WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FLIPPIN' BIRDS???

Love & laughs,

Current mood:unwrapped
Category: Life
It's hard to believe another year has flown by and here it is Christmas Eve. After some absolutely wonderful things that have been happening in my life lately, I wanted to take a moment to share some of the sentiments from my heart to all of you.
 
As I write this I wonder how many hits the Santa Tracker website is getting. Back in the day when my children (now ages 18 and 22) were little, we didn't have GPS technology to see when the sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer would be approaching our house.
 
When we think about gifts this time of year, it's natural to wonder what's in the boxes (or if you're like me and flunked Wrapping 101), gift bags! And what an assortment; some simple while others are adorned with shiny ribbon and bows.
 
But what about those other presents; the ones given to us by our Creator? We also are likely to wonder what they are, those often intangible elements that make up our very being. But when we make that discovery, what do we DO with our gifts.
 
I've always believed it is better to give than receive, but this year I have received abundantly and thus am filled with immense gratitude. So I encourage all of you, no matter how simple you think your gifts are, to unwrap them and share them with the world.
 
Love & laughs,
Shelly

During the past few weeks I have rediscovered my love for classical music and have been listening to it quite regularly...from well-known artists to those whose talents are making an impact with every new piece they compose and share with the world. 

As a writer it is difficult, if not impossible, to attempt to put into words the emotions I feel as a result of these experiences; however this quote sums it up very well: 

"It is the power of music to carry one into the mental state of the composer... the listener has no choice... it is like hypnotism".

In addition, I celebrate ALL those whose talent "comes from and reaches into places which words can't."

Continued excerpt from the Feel Teal Blog:

Giving us a retrospective view, Shelly shares information that’s crucial to her ‘being’ and combines it with a personal touch, allowing us to get a clearer picture of the real faces of this deadly disease! I thank her, and hope others will help us to continue spreading the message to the rest of the world!

I share an excerpt from the Feel Teal Blog:

Comedian/Writer, Shelly Ryan shares her contribution to the “FEEL TEAL” awareness campaign, in what’s best described as “witty”, “cute” and extremely heartfelt! Her passion and enthusiasm for comedy is the foundation of “who she is”, but in this rather candid ’sketch’, Shelly brings home the “seriousness” of the disease, ovarian cancer, which has claimed the life of far too many women/girls.

Please click the link above to not only view my video testimonial, but also for more information about how YOU can support this cause.

Love & laughs,
Shelly

After enjoying lattes and laughter with my daughter and granddaughter this morning (neither of them, especially not the baby, drinks coffee), I was inspired to record several new videos with a caffeine theme.

They are uploaded at my ReverbNation site. Thanks to a technology glitch (possibly due to not enough coffee...or worse yet...that of poor quality) I couldn't upload the widget here, but meet me at http://www.reverbnation.com/shellyryan...I'm buying!

Enjoy!!!

Gilda Radner loved this song. As a result of identifying so much with her characters, her comedic genius inspired me tremendously...and in a way I feel that spirit lives on in me. Please join me in supporting the Feel Teal Campaign so more women can have a chance to dance again!
