Thank you so much to all who have sent your kind words, both public and private, regarding my recent life changes. Your encouragement, understanding, and thoughtfulness have been invaluable.

Two weeks down at the new job and all is going well. Really well. The work is tiring, though, not yet as energizing as calling out unacceptable corporate behavior on a daily basis. (Not as fun, either.)

Recent lack of blog posts, however, has more to do with the Christmas holidays than it does the new job. It’s always a busy and somewhat stressful month. I was successful, though, in keeping the girls away from the toy catalogs, out of the stores, and concentrating on our handmade Christmas cards and a couple handmade gifts. We’re all aware of how different this holiday will be from past years — as it will be for so many families — but it hasn’t dampered anyone’s spirits.

Thanks again for all your support and if you are celebrating a holiday this month, I wish you the best of luck in avoiding the commercialism and embracing your family, friends, and all that is good in your life.
