This Full Season

A Hollywood evening

Historically, I trend toward the Grinch side of Christmas. Thanks to the sheer enthusiasm and love of the season by my oldest son, my Grinch heart has grown three sizes.

Taking in a play at the Pantages

I find myself recognizing the magical moments that enter into this busy time of year: tree lighting ceremonies, running into friends accidentally on the street, and seeing a play at the Pantages in Hollywood.


Making time to measure projects built with pride.


Enjoying puppet shows and time spent with friends.


Baking cakes. Celebrating birthdays. Enjoying the excitement and activity. The time for rest and nesting will return soon. Now, I'll follow the example of my oldest son and embrace the fullness of the season.
