Our world is both contracting and expanding. Our Gold Coast home is often a thoroughfare of family, friends, and ring-ins! Our children, their spouses, their children all provide the challenges of maintaining “family.” Sometimes we manage quality margins of time but often it’s stealing moments.

Then there is us. Our favorite times are “us” times. Together we support humanitarian aid projects and local churches. But we also do coffee at any excuse, find new eat-outs with friends and explore our gorgeous waterways where on a good day we’ll hit the jackpot and intersect a family of dolphins.

The privilege of being invited to mentor and speak into people’s lives has rewarded me with rich connections – quality people who are leaving a wake of blessing and expansion behind them. My memories are an opulent gallery of gratefulness.
