We have limited power over the larger events of the world, but it doesn’t mean we have no power at all. In our own families, in our own circles, and in our communities, there are so many things we can do.

In uncertain times, let's look for what connects us. Let's focus our energies in places where we can make a difference.

As I was finishing my journey on the Camino Francés in Spain, I got terrible news from home that our family had had a house fire.

The best present my partner and I ever gave each other sits right outside the front of our house. Two years ago at Christmas, we gifted each other a “little library” by hiring a friend to design and build it. As our handy friend finished painting it, she stencilled the name The Book Nook at the top.
