Bring on 2014

Young Man Plays in a Lake in NewfoundlandWe had a great night celebrating at The Doctor’s House last night, and thanks to all who joined us and all who made it a success – you know who you are.

Like many, I’ll be taking today to reflect on hopes and plans for the coming year. If you’re like me, you like being active and welcome new opportunities – and new challenges. Any leaps I take this year, I plan to take as joyfully as the young man, above. The Berry and I work hard here, but we’re also very blessed, and we hope to continue to try and live up to those blessings.

So I hope that you all had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve, and we wish you the very best in 2014. Onward!

And thanks to Newfoundland photographer and friend, Bud Vincent, for the gorgeous shot.

Sunset Sunday: A Wake at Last

Boating and the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland, Canada

I’ve always dreamed of having a boat and feel so blessed to have one now. Our boat honors that dream – truly, I am thrilled to have a wake at last. Especially when I can enjoy peaceful evenings with The lovely Berry on the ocean, watching the setting sun – my favourite!
