December 11th is Magnum Pi Day…celebrate and rock your mustache and Hawaiian shirt today.

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you all have a great weekend. We have plans at our house to finally get our Christmas decorations up. I guess this means I should take down Fall, right? (Ha!) I’m planning to make a pot roast (this recipe by The Pioneer Woman is my favorite) and maybe do a little baking. We also promised the kids a Christmas movie night. ‘Tis the season!

Hey there, friends. Hope you’re having a great week so far. I’ve been attempting to devote some time to reflection as the end of the year draws near. Today I was reminded of a phrase Craig uses occasionally to incite action: “Don’t let what you have stand in the way of what you need.”

I was chatting with a friend about some changes happening in her life. She and her husband want to move out of their neighborhood onto land and build a house. She is a successful small business owner, and she’s closing her business. Why would a successful business owner close her business? What she has is standing in the way of what she wants. While her business is successful, she has been stuck in a rut for several years. It isn’t interesting to her anymore. Moving out of her home will mean downsizing, which will require emotional and physical resources. Planning and building a new home will also take much of her time. She and her husband have had this dream of a smaller house with more land for many years. As we talked more about what was coming up for them, I was more and more excited for her. I believe the choices they are making for their family will be a creative reset for her, and I am excited that her family will be going after their dreams together. Big changes require courageous choices.

This year has been tough in many ways. Lots of unknowns, hard choices, and wildly different points of view about how to handle it all has stretched us. But in the midst of all the hard stuff, there has been something beautiful happening too, a reset of sorts. Families at home together more, less things to-do each day and more intentional choices about what makes it on the list for tomorrow or next week, a surge of creativity as people have to figure out how to live and work differently, and a strengthening of communities that comes from going through trying times together. I believe many of the consequences of the “new reality” we’re living in are positive ones, things people have longed for but were afraid to go after. What we had before wasn’t negative enough to make us change our ways. I encourage you to take some time to reflect. Let’s use the things we’ve learned from this year to remind us to be bold and courageous, to live purposeful lives. Don’t let what you have stand in the way of what you need.

Happy Monday!

December 7th is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day…a day that will live in infamy.

Isn’t it funny how certain things you see or hear or smell or taste can instantly take you back to another time or make you feel a certain way? I’ve often wondered what it is about Christmas lights that make me so happy. I like to put up our tree where I can see it while relaxing in the living room at night. Usually it is the only light in the room. And sitting there at night, watching a movie I’ve seen many times or in the quiet stillness with the twinkle of the lights reflected in a window, it feels … cozy, warm, homey, hopeful.

I think that’s the thing that hits me hardest at Christmas: hope. Trees without leaves that you’d probably call ugly or barren suddenly transform into something beautiful when you put lights on them – a hopeful reminder of new life to come. The ending one year and looking forward to the next – the hope of a fresh start. Seeing family and friends and exchanging thoughtful gifts and hearty meals – hope found in love, laughter and relationship. And for many, a reminder of the hope found in Christ – the hope of redemption and a new life. To me that is the ultimate hope and one of the reasons I enjoy the Christmas season so much.

What are the things in your life that bring you hope?
