It is a passion of mine to bring joy into times both good and sad. Over the years, I like to bring my team to my house when possible (we're scattered around the country), where I can cook and entertain them. My wife makes the most awesome pecan sandies which we send to them at Christmas (this year she made about 3000). In the midst of challenging times in sales, my folks look up and smile, bringing the same joy to their customers and co-workers. A simple box of cookies is like a shot heard round the nation. Friendship always begins with one reaching out, then another who reaches back. It helps the transition while you change the frame. Blessings upon you and all of your readers, not only during this precious holiday, but throughout the year. May you find the peace, joy and hope throughout your life and share it with others each day. Chuck Kristin,

Thank you for that gift. I trust that 2010 will bring us all wonderful and rich growth and opportunities for contribution. And I am counting on your publishing a book that captures all your incredible Between the LInes wisdom in a more permanent and easily shared form. Merry, merry Christmas to you and your family. Ann Kristin,

I so enjoy your posts. After your last post I not only re-read my James Allen book “As a Man Thinketh,” but bought one for a Christmas gift. You are such a special person. May the blessing of joy be with you and your family this Christmas. jean Kristin…

I have often been called a Pollyanna or simply naive. But like the old Broadway showtune, I just can't help being a "cock-eyed optimist." I've had to learn, however, that when I speak and how I frame my words has a lot to do with how they are received. I've learned not to rush in with chirppy words that seem to discount other's feelings and natural responses. Dear sisters have been good at teaching this this. I stand with you in firmly believing that the world is a friendly place, and - almost magically - I am seldom disappointed. Merry Christmas, Kristen.
