We had our masked Christmas. My son & granddaughter visited; my daughter & grandson & granddaughter face-timed. We wore masks, physically distanced; still connected. My daughter a first responder; my son “essential”; I pray daily.
(Angel) Gabriel brought fresh joy & chaos to the house. As did another new addition.


I’m fortunate. Alaska’s beauty makes walking a pleasure and despite the only 5-6 hours of sunlight, the walks take place under a watercolor/paintbrush sky.

My personal trainer (below) coached me through 1156 miles since COVID began, shaving 9 pounds off me; he daily urges me to up the 4 to 5 miles a day.

You’ve been part of my joy as well, all of your comments, your Ask A Coach questions. 2094 of you have subscribed, roughly 2K of you visit monthly from 89 countries. I thank you.
I started the blog to help heal the world. My corner is the workplace, but I pray past my corner that this year we’ll figure out how to tackle climate change and feed those who are hungry.
And in my backyard the action is ongoing.

Merry Christmas Lynne!
Thank you Lynne, for being a presence and a wise, calming force. Thanks, too, for the great photos!
