Day after the Christmas feast - Boxing Day the Canadians call it - a mixed day of blessings and goodness if you try to find it. Have a look, it’s not too hard. It was a morning read, new old book, a gift from our daughter, a volume she bought at her school store. It …

Happy Christmas!
On this day we celebrate the birth of a child; such simple and glorious thing, new life in the world, new hope. What’s more, this day remembers this particular child, when God crossed over forever to humanity. No longer separate, no longer distant, God among us, Emmanuel. When Jesus was born, God have us the …
Christmas Eve
Reflections on the last few days, so many things swirl in and out of my mind. Rounding out the month at work - almost. I’ll be back in on the 30th to help close the books for December. Continued learning and insights and lessons and mistakes and pushing the business forward. Thankful for the repeated …
The Holidays, It’s a Mixed Bag
So much going on. Decorating and event planning and attending and gift-shopping and meals prep and dancing children and singing children and too much sugar and grumpy children and the house in shambles and getting ready for a holiday meal and the year-end push at work, and last minute crises, and lending a hand where …
Roll With It
There’s plenty of wisdom wrapped up in the simple phrase: “Roll with it” ... So many references, but the concept is the same.

Blog Like a Tweet: Two Red Birds on a Branch
I got this pic via SMS in the middle of a hurried day. A painting someone did for fun. It made my day a whole lot better, this little surprise, so I wanted to share it. GOOD. For me, for you. 🙂
“Lie In Our Graves”
Dave Matthews and his band have a ton of good songs, in my humble opinion. Not only is the music awesome, and the lyrics often more so, I'd say. This one is one of my favorites from the first ten or so years of their jamming together. AWESOME. Step into the light... "When I step …
Colors of the Season
Red and green and festive, that’s what I go for this time of year. The lights are everywhere, decoration abounds that adds to the mood. Another variation on the same theme: let the joy flow to the fore, let the light shine bright, let your spirit be lifted, and strive to do the same for …
Find the Joy
I know how I want to feel. I know how I wish I felt. And yet, the joy seems fleeting. Sitting down at the table, getting greeting cards together to go out for the holidays, the afternoon light spills in behind me. A few stuffed animals watch over my careful work. This time of year, …
Old Stories, Albums, Life
Was gonna rant on and on about early Dave Matthews lyrics. The first two albums I listened to way back when — “Under The Table and Dreaming”, and “Crash”...so much good music and words put together. Fun, creative, inspired, it was all of that and more. I pulled out “Crash” for the drive home last …
