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.

Sometimes the most powerful legacy-shaping idea comes in the form of a good question, thoughtfully considered. This blog post lifts up several gems that were originally articulated by John O’Donohue and Rick Rubin. Consider making them a part of your personal ritual practice to tap into that your own aliveness!

This year, my family celebrated the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) with our friend, Francisco, as our guide. The kids are already asking if we can make this an annual tradition!

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!

To all the people who have had to postpone celebrations due to COVID-19, I offer you my deepest condolences. The big day you’ve looked forward to for months or years is now not as close as originally planned. For 'soonlyweds', you both know that you will still be getting married at some point down the road, so you may try to tell yourselves that it’s not such a big deal. It’s just another date in the calendar, right? Wrong.

This was to be a significant milestone in your journey. You bet this is a big deal. I've written some ideas on how ritual can help couples honour their original wedding dates with meaning, intention and connection, rather than pure dread.
