You Matter

All I Want…

On this Christmas Eve, I anxiously look to the sky- just in case I see him.  (Ever since watching Santa Claus in 1985 , I’ve wanted to err on the side of caution.)  After all, if NORAD is tracking him , you can’t be too safe.
Do you remember writing your Christmas list to Santa and putting complicated things on it to test him?  I do.  Here’s my list for this year.  
Dear Santa,
  • I would like a coffee fairy to deliver a daily dose to my workspace at 1:30.  One sugar, light on the cream.  This is the best part of my day and a bonus cup would make it all the better.
  • I would like a garage for snowy days.  Or, a chauffeur.  Your call.
  • I would like grownups to stop being mean to each other, about each other, and on behalf of one another.
  • I would like for Jonathan Maberry and Stephen King to write a bedtime story for me.  I would like Jon Stewart to introduce it and Ellen Degeneres to narrate it.  All while Channing Tatum interprets it through dance.
And, now, for the most complicated item.  I simply want to be happy.  Not happy because I have stuff.  Not happy because I can get more stuff.  But happy because I continue to accept each day as a gift and after a less than perfect day, I know I can always start over.
(But, if that’s too hard…I’ll take the bedtime story.)

What’s on your list?

There’s something about being outside surrounded or embraced by nature. What’s a nature element that really speaks to you? It could be the moment you notice the dark green of a treetop touching the vibrant blue of the sky.

I’m awful at business growth, meaning- I don’t post when algorithms say I should. I don’t “buy” likes or followers or traffic to my site. I post all things related to burnout prevention on Fridays which used to be one of the worst days to do so.

I got a phone call on Wednesday night with a funeral date for a family member that passed in March.  During that conversation, we once again explored the path of origin. The surviving spouse got it from work (the area was an epicenter of contagion before we all knew what’s going on). The workplace was a school. It spread like wildfire (again, before anyone knew what it was).
