Thoughts from your host…

In my intro for this episode, I made mention of today’s guest being a wish-come-true.

That was before we started talking.

In the afterglow – as I listened back on our chat and edited it together, I went from wish-come-true to over-the-moon.

This conversation was so much fun, and damn if my guest doesn’t bring so much insight to the table! Heck, without patting myself on the back too much, I even feel like he elevated my game as a host.

It’s the benefit of this show being one where someone different drops by every time. I never quite know what I will learn from my guests – be they longstanding regulars, or new additions to the roster – and what my guests will bring out in me.

It’s a gift; a gift that every one of my guests give me, and this episode’s guest was especially generous.

I’m thankful for these gifts – for the lovely boxes adorned with pretty bows that have been given to me over three hundred times. Each one was the right size, right colour, entirely unexpected and deeply treasured.
