It's not always obvious when a friendship begins. But sometimes it is. 14 years ago today, Fran, we on online, on the wall of a mutual friend who was in pain. We went on from there. Thank you, for 14 years of friendship. Here's to the next fourteen!

Don't feel paralysed or useless if you can't think of anything that could possibly help. If you are present and engaged, you are helping. Often, that is precisely — and all — that is needed. You'd be surprised how rare a gift holding space for someone can be.

Whatever the past year brought, whatever the year ahead may bring, may you find happiness in your NOW, whatever happiness means to you.

At Costa working on a new blog post for Time to Talk Day (February 6, 2025). I'm ahead of the game, but it's an interesting topic so I thought I'd make a start while the ideas are flowing.

Fran and I love Christmas so much we've started already! Don't mind us, just two transatlantic best friends hanging out for Thanksgiving.
Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, we hope today is a great day for you.
