• Grandma’s Magical Tree

  Living in Orlando, we think about magic a lot. The magical Magic Kingdom and all of Disney. Orlando’s NBA team, the Magic. Orlando’s branding. The magic of this season, however, isn’t manufactured in a factory, nor does it come dressed in costumes. It’s not slight of hand nor fans at a basketball game. The magic…

• I Really Didn’t Deserve That

  I cut in front of a policeman today without realizing it. I’m not proud of this. I was on my way to work; running late. Folks in the left lane were driving ten miles an hour under the speed limit. I didn’t think kindly of them. Neglecting my turn signal, I moved to the right, away from…

• When The Gift Is Greater Than The Sale

    Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Two terms that send chills through my being. The invitation to shop NOW and get unbelievable deals for Christmas. I’m not a shopper. I’ve serious shop avoidance issues. I love a good deal, just like the next person. But tempting me to get out with a bazillion other shoppers…
