I think one of the finest gifts I can give my friends in the holiday season is to pause with a long enough quality to actually SEE them. My calm, unhurried presence communicates this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you. I remember our times of together and am contributing right now to another quality memory. I value you and honor and take the time, right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Choose in ways that support your dreams.

This day boldness is manifested in a simple grace: gratitude.

I take every opportunity to articulate to others the ways that they have blessed and influenced me. I hold sweet memories of making the opportunity to thank teachers who have influenced me. I encourage everyone to seize opportunities to tell people who have made a gift of knowledge or influence.

Goes the song, "we change, we change." But the music is still mine.

One service to need heals an ancient wound.

A bird only flies. It does not turn to another bird and ask, am I doing this right?
