Listen To My Mother's Advice, And Get Out There

An introvert conquers her hesitation to get out in New Orleans

My mother had a saying, “Don’t let anyone or anything keep you from doing something you really want to do.” It was her version of the Nike slogan, “Just do it.”

I’m here to testify to the wisdom of that advice, especially during the holidays. Do you want to hear a concert, but can’t find someone to go along? Go by yourself. Is there a holiday dish you especially like? Make it, buy it, or order it off a menu.
