Looking for your next great read? Check out my column in The Sanders County Ledger. And be sure to let me know, whatcha readin’?

Working with braided essay is tough, especially when you only have 800 words and you’re trying to honor a person and motivate people and and and…Anyhow, I hope it worked; read it here.

I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous Turkey Day with their family. If you have a few moments, this piece on gratitude may help you move through the rest of this year and into the next. Enjoy!

There’ve been some interesting conversations on Facebook about my most recent Snapshots column, which you can read here. People find both terms dismissive and/or invalidating. I have yet to hear a term that isn’t one of those though and I haven’t come up with my own word that works. The main point here, the thing I’m really hoping to relate, is that it doesn’t matter what you call them, what matters is your reaction: do you provide empathy or do you chastise?
