I have had a hectic year… like so many of you out there.  We have been faced with challenges that we had set for ourselves and we have also received challenges that were unexpected to say the least.

Writing blogs has been a good source of joy for me throughout the year.  It has been quite a journey finding topics, but once I am set it is a bit like meditating.   I’ve realized that I have lots of ideas that I want to share with you and since we have only thirteen weeks left in 2016, I know exactly what to do with them.
