I took my time decorating for Christmas this year. I wasn’t in a hurry to get it done, I just enjoyed the process. Rather than a task to check off, I invited it as part of the joy of the season. The process of decorating is one of my favorite things, and Christmas all the …
As you might imagine, there were a lot of things that surprised me on our four months away on sabbatical. The first one, was that I didn’t miss home almost at all. One thing I did miss however, were opportunities to be creative. I didn’t pine away about it, but when we got home in …
