a few days back, my niece gave me the drawing that is now my latest blog banner. She told me: I drew a picture of you!
It made me really happy (even though I look like a bowling ball ) and to top it off her handwriting was one of the best fonts that I’ve seen in a while.
I immediately [...]
how the sun, shining in thru the window can be the exact amount of goodness for your day.
Now the rest is just icing on the cake.
Happy Travels…
the other day at work I heard the most profound statement:
Don’t confuse efforts with results.
when I heard it, my mind went a-cranking and all of a sudden I was reminded to focus on what it is I am trying to do with my life.
You see, I am a contemplator. I am a thinker. I am someone [...]
spent the last couple of days with my brother sister in law and my niece Magoo. I love how their calm and peaceful approach of being new parents is actually really calming for me, and it helps me feel grounded when I’m around it.

I spent the evening hanging out with my new niece and brother and sister-in-law. In between juggling the baby and catching up I also got some time to have a tutorial with Karissa on how to make her own minibook. It ended up a total success and also helped me to refine my instructions so [...]
