How far will you go?
I was at Disneyland this weekend with my husband and daughter to help a dear friend celebrate her birthday. I’m always fascinated by the customer experience they put together and the level of detail they go through. Three things struck me this weekend:

A digital break
Before the holidays, I decided I need to unclutter my brain. I have this thing about balance – I love challenge and energy at work and peace and partnership at home. I think on my Myers-Briggs results over the years and that makes sense to me – I am an ENTP but my E is borderline I. The results are so close, that some tests over the years call E, some I. Most people who meet me would think I am definitely an E but to have that level of energy, I need to recharge. I’m fortunate that my husband is my best friend and he totally understands me - we match in that lovely and indefinable way that has brought us 15 wonderful years and many more to come.

When predictability is good or “How to Train your Dragon”
My husband and I took our seven year old daughter to see the new 3D movie “How to Train Your Dragon” this weekend. http://www.howtotrainyourdragon.com/ We thoroughly enjoyed it – funny, sweet, well designed and yes, predictable. I found it interesting, hearing some of the negative comments from the other movie goers regarding that very predictability.

Love, loss & memories
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my mom’s death. After everything we had been through together, good and bad, this month has been hard emotionally for me. Because she was ill for so very long, we were fortunate she held on (despite tremendous pain and suffering) to give us so much more time together than we thought we were going to get when she was diagnosed with cancer. She was able to see and share in moments she never thought she could – the birth of her granddaughter and the chance to see her first few years. Now my daughter has memories of her Nana, which I am thankful for.
The tooth fairy story
My daughter is six years old and very imaginative. Her creativity fascinates me. This week, she lost her second tooth – let me tell that it has seemed both a dramatic and funny saga that I simply had to share. Maybe it will make you laugh too (-:
Small, angry voices…
I admit to fear and to worry and to doubt. I am fortunate in these times of fear and uncertainty, where many are suffering the most dramatic and awful change of their lives. I am thankful, every day, for what I have: my good health (and health insurance), my loved ones (and their good health), my great job (that I am lucky to love) and the basics we all need (food, shelter, etc…). My heart goes out to those who are suffering because I remember earlier days where a roof over my head was uncertain, not much food (so thankful for free school lunch programs) and no health insurance (or money for much needed medicines, like my asthma inhaler). I remember and my heart cries out for them.

Winter and being sick…
Sorry for not posting for a bit but I have been sick (again) and feeling pretty muzzy when I am awake. Not exactly at my stellar best when I am upright and (relatively) mobile. I have the opportunity to work from home on some days, which definitely helps but I still operate at something less than optimal brain efficiency. Add to that – my husband and daughter are both getting tagged with each cold/flu/whatever.
One more day…
I have a lovely, long holiday planned with my husband and daughter. Sixteen days off. A rare thing in my life. Normally, I only have a week off at a time (total of nine days), so this rarity will be something to treasure. I’ve spent a fair amount of time the past few weeks encouraging my team to do the same. For a Customer Insights organization, the end of the year is not a crazy one like some parts of the org, more a time to wrap up projects.

Happy Birthday
This past weekend was wonderful! My daughter turned six and I was so happy to see her light up with joy and excitement this weekend. She had her party, which she enjoyed immensely. We took her out to dinner and an evening show of the Nutcracker ballet for the first time, which she thought was neat. She was amazed at all the little girl ballerinas. She has always loved that story, so it helped make the ballet come alive for her. Seeing the whole weekend through her eyes was so sweet and poignant. What happy memories we made – and memories, that’s what we have of the past, isn’t it? Even though those are imperfect things, those memories, it’s what gives us the grounding for our today’s.
Death and choices
This morning we learned that Shawn’s grandfather passed away. He passed away in his sleep, apparently peacefully, which is a blessing. It is sad but also good to note that he had a good life, long and rich (he was in his nineties). He is survived by his wife and children. This is the third death in the family this year (four if you count one of our kitties). A sad year indeed. It’s made me think a great deal about loss and how people respond.
