We celebrated the marriage of our grandson Teagan to Meagan and we wish them every joy.
I was honored to be named ‘Ethical Business Thought Leader‘ by AI Global. A Forbes Councils member, I earned ‘Editor’s Choice’ as I keep writing articles. 
As we face multiple disastrous tragedies, including the devastation of wars, climate change, economic disparity, political polarization, it is easy to fall into a downward cycle of despair. Instead, we move out of winter’s solstice time, the darkest days of the year, when people globally celebrated the power of light over darkness. Jews celebrate Chanukah’s ‘miracle of the lights’; Christians celebrate Christmas’ birth of Christ ‘the light of the world’; some Muslims celebrate Yalda Night’s birth of Mithra ‘the goddess of light’; some Hindus celebrate Pongol to thank the sun god Surya, others celebrate Pancha Ganapati for the great angel Ganesha remover of obstacles and bringer of good luck. Whatever your tradition, in 2025 let’s work for a more peaceful, just world in these times of so much tragedy and celebrate our ability to have a positive impact even in the darkest moments.
