We're pretty excited... our family is going to be on the cover of the Vancouver Courier newspaper tomorrow, with an article recommending our soap as "One of 10 gifts you can feel good about buying this Christmas." The paper is free and goes to 265,000 people!
Today was a good day. Tomorrow is a goodbye party for Ange and Leigh. God has helped me a lot in not grieving them before they're gone. The dark part of my soul says "well, everyone leaves". The bright part says "we're planted here for a reason" and "we are permanently connected to Ange and Leigh". Hmmm.
Jan tagged me in the same game...
Here are the rules: You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.) When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post and then choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
Joanna Helen (Helen is my Mum's name.)
H- Heroes. I love the show "Heroes". I don't usually follow shows. I haven't followed one week to week since X Files. It's awesome... Sylar is back!
E- Educator. It is a very bold title I don't think I'm entirely worthy of, but I am a good teacher. I love to teach at YWAM, when I get to give the sermon at church, or explain something new to Sophia. Teaching gives me life and joy.
L- Lemon. Santa Cruz Organic Lemon Soda. San Pellegrino Limonatta. A perfect lemon tart.
E - Elizabeth is my sister's name and if there is anyone I could have coffee, shop with and have an extended walk on the beach with today, it would be her. I have seen her for exactly 48 hrs in the last 3 years. The same 48 hrs is the only time I have spent with her son Kawai and she with Soph. She has never met Eleanor. She lives in Hawaii and she is a kick butt single Mum & ER nurse who saved a guy's life a couple of weeks ago by breaking his ribs doing CPR on the floor of Chili's. I have been apart from her so long something in me is missing a little bit.
N- Nog. of the Egg kind. I recently ended a sugar fast when God brought in the $75,000 we needed to make the down payment on our YWAM building. (It was exhilarating - the last 23,000 came in in ONE DAY!) Every morning since I have making myself decaf half milk half eggnog lattes every morning. 'Tis a happy thing indeed.
I tag Hannah and Ryan.

tried to call you tonight.. i miss you. maybe we can chat soon?
H is for Heaven, which is where is where we are both gonna end up cause that is the Hope we were given so long ago.
E is for Evenings. So many fun and music filled evenings in our friendship. They were delightful and I wouldn’t have missed them for the world.
L is for Laughter & Light. You brought so much of it into my life. I was dark and you were light and you brought laughter into my daughter’s life for which I will always be grateful.
E is for Elegant. I can see you on the stage even now in my mind’s eye singing beside that piano in Ten Lost Years. You elevated the play for me in that moment of elegance and simplicity. I remember that I cried watching and listening to you from the gel gantry.
N is for Natural. You, my friend are a natural. You always think you have to effort at being this or that. You don’t. You have a natural grace and a natural flair and I look forward to watching you relax into that part of yourself more and more in the years to come.
