Inspired by Advent, one of my favourite seasons, and also by some recent events in my life, I wrote an article on Advent that was published in this week's Radiant e-mail newsletter. You can find it here.

The Christmas party/event whirlwind has begun. Highland children's musical on Sunday (soooo cute), a party Monday night (Highland staff and families), one last night (Come As You Are), my work party next week, and maybe more in the meantime. Whew! At least all my presents are purchased (though not all wrapped). I loooove being a Christmas elf, but I love it even more when my shopping is done early. (Thank you, Amazon.)

Happy belated birthday to my dear friend Cole. Who knew he shared a birthday with Sinatra? Seems to have been written in the stars...

Last night's telling question from The Sound of Paper by Julia Cameron: "If I felt I were beautiful enough, good enough, and worthy enough, how would I act?"
