Before Covid hit us, many would go around saying Christmas was bring attacked and on the verge pf being cancelled. That it needed saving. I won’t enter that debate. The irony is that a pandemic in 2020 indeed ended up canceling Christmas for many. Actually, more things than […]
There was a time, many moons ago, where I kept a journal of things I had learned that day or week or month. Admittedly, there were days when I felt like I hadn’t learned anything. This is contrary to what I tell my son. I tell him that […]
I picked my word for next year. Joy! I’m bringing it back. I hope it becomes all the rage. Now, while I have a wonderful, positive word there are some words I am done with. Some I can share with you. Some, I cannot. Wish I could. But […]
