I hope you are spending some time with family and friends during this second CoVid Christmas,. I hope you have had a Merry Christmas and are now having Happy Boxing Day. And that you'd celebrated Happy Festivus, and had a Happy Hannukah.
None of thought we'd still be dealing with the virus at this point of the pandemic. But with all the news and gloom, and CoVid and illness reaching into my family (fortunately, with good outcomes), the good news emerging about the lesser severity of the latest Greek alphabet variants brings hope.
This week's newsletter will be abbreviated, as I spend time with my family.
A few moments of inspiration for you - I wish you hope, peace, and joy!
1. HOPE: After the Fire: Rebuilding Notre Dame Cathedral
2. PEACE: The Queen's Christmas message for 2021: Queen Elizabeth pays tribute to her late husband Prince Philip, discusses dealing with grief during the holidays and looks ahead to 2022 in her 69th Christmas address.
3. JOY: The sad news of Desmond Tutu's passing yesterday reminds us all to find joy. His Holiness the Dalai Lama reunites online with Archbishop Desmond Tutu from his residence in Dharamsala, HP, India on June 24, 2021, on the occasion of the release of their new movie "Mission: Joy - Finding Happiness in Troubled Times".

Whatever you celebrate as December draws to a close, I wish you hope, peace, and joy.
