Watercolor Wednesday: The fruitfulness of autumn
Autumn is a time of glorious colors, as I was reminded last week when I spent time in the Upper Midwest of America. Glorious oranges and yellows peppered the browns and greens in the tree-line, which I noticed even more because London doesn’t afford such striking colors.

Five Minute Friday: What’s Your Potential?
“She hasn’t reached her full potential.” Are there more damning words? As I think about potential, I find I’m reeling a bit from my team’s second loss of the season last night. The Minnesota Vikings were lauded as the ones to watch, the ones with all of the potential to win, but the reality doesn’t…
