What started with a single phone call in Sweden became a lifelong friendship filled with shared meals, music, and moments of connection. Nearly 28 years later, that bond led to the release of Saskatchewan Moon, a song co-written across continents. This is the story of how friendship and creativity can transcend distance and time.

Four years ago today, I officiated my very first ceremony for my dear friend Patti and her husband Ron. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of other people mark their milestones . With each ceremony, I cross my own personal threshold. I’m grateful for this opportunity to keep learning and growing! Here’s to many more!

As humans, we crave meaning, connection and community. Done well, ritual and ceremony offer us all of these, while integrating transition and equipping us for the next stage of our life journey.
