Home for Christmas after really long absence?
Yes.
If and when Christmas is more than December 25, yes.
And Christmas is always more than Dec. 25.
Is Christmas April 6?
How can it not be?
Merry Christmas, hope Spring 2015 is treating you better than you deserve.

While unwrapping gifts yesterday our son (14) said, “I’m going to say this at your funeral, ‘My Dad avoided answering a lot of questions’.”
Is this intentional or by default?
Great professional speakers know if they tell an audience the answer, the audience will never remember. And if the facilitator helps the audience discover the answer themselves, they will never forget.
By design or by default?

Merry Christmas 2014.
Hope your December – and however you spent it – brought you unspeakable joy and delight.
Something entirely different this year is necessary.
Simplicity.
Inspired by an attitude of positive, good and decent living.
Our clock is ticking.
Do the crazy stuff that inspires the heck out of you.
At some point in life, habitually putting this off is criminal.

Our excuses reasons to justify just going through the motions are even more attractive when the pressure is on.
Take the December holidays. Crazy. Stressful.
Are we completely unaware? Is it predictable? Does our positive attitude make seasonal exceptions to not be so positive?
It’s the paradox of the most joyful Holiday for many Americans.

Yesterday morning a social media note:
Good morning! I wanted to tell you that I am re-reading your book. Reading slowly this time. I value it so differently this time. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Asked a few questions and in reply:
I truly have tears in my eyes right now. I was not in a good place when I read it the first time and I knew you were telling me something but I just wasnt getting it. I was resisting change. I now have the strength to appreciate it. Thriving not survivng. I am so thankful that I knew you because I hear your voice speaking to me when I read it. Stuck on pages 7 and 14!
At the end of the day, the book leans towards being a kick in the ass butt. And we all need that a few times in life.
