The Monday Morning Memo

I don’t often order white wine,
but the wizard and I were eating fish in a fancy Vancouver restaurant so it felt like the thing to do. And when you see something called Dog Point on the wine list, you kind of have to order that, don’t you? 

I can’t say I heard just one song
when I sipped this wine, but it gave me exactly the same vibe as a Pandora channel called “Yacht Rock.”

So here’s what I’m going to do; I’m going to turn on that channel right now and post whatever “Yacht Rock” songs play at the bottom of the next few pages.
Then you’ll understand the vibe of
Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc.

When I Googled ‘Dog Point’,
it all started to make sense.  
I think it will make sense to you, too, when you listen to the next few pages.
Here’s my suggestion: when you visit each page, begin by clicking the video at the bottom of the page, then look at the photo and read the jabber while the song plays. Yacht rock, Baby.

Random Quote:

“Friend, I know why you are struggling to hold onto the light within you right now. I am, too. But I also know that right now it is more valuable and powerful and necessary than it’s even been.

Do something to remind yourself why you live.
Embrace the people you love.
Use the gifts you have to bring joy.
Be present to this day.
Laugh fully.
Breathe deeply.
Give whatever you have to give.
Show mercy toward yourself.
Sing or dance or cry or sleep or shout into the ether.
Do anything you need to do to sustain yourself right now.

But whatever you do, in days when darkness seems to be winning when so many feel as though they are close to being extinguished: please don’t lose your light.
