Today I received my favorite annual Christmas Card. It’s from my friend and teacher Mary Pat. Each year I await this card, but this year it got lost in the mail and arrived perfectly today.

A decade of change
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Change.” Me, my camera and how I love.
Presence and intent
As I stumbled to the coffee pot the white board on the refrigerator stopped me. The white board is the white shiny surface with multiple color markers like the ones you see hanging in corporate offices. In the office you might see the agency vision, the strategy and all the plans for the company to prosperContinue reading “Presence and intent”
