 Just Imagine





 


Think it + think it big.



 

See it + see it clearly.



 

Create it + create it now.


 



Dare to imagine.




 

It’s your dream, 

so go all out.



 


Just imagine it.



 

Now make it happen.




 

I dare you!

















What will you imagine, 

create + inspire in 2026?





Happy New Year!




I value you + your views,

so let's communicate!




Note:

Though ‘Sunday SideLines’ has been 

a joy to write over the years, 

I feel compelled to finish up 

with ‘Just Imagine’. 


SO, to all my Sunday SideLines’ 

champs; thanks a thousand times 

for reading, encouraging + responding 

to them with your unique 

points of view. I relished every 

one of those exchanges. 


And I hope to see you 

on the “sidelines of life” so we 

can continue to cheer 

each other forward.

Are You Into 3G?






What, you ask is 3G

(Hint: It's not Vodafone.)

 

 

It stands for:  

Gotta Give Gratitude.

 

 

And I’m into it. 

Big-time.

 

 

It’s 3G livin’ for me. 

It’s the only way I know.

 

 

Not only because 

it feels good but,

 it’s edifying, it’s healing

 AND it’s right.

 

 

It’s right to give 

thanks + give it often.

 

 

This attitude of gratitude 

has a grand effect on 

the giver + the receiver.

 

 

What a win-win;

especially after Christmas.

so, let’s communicate!



 


So tell me, are you into 3G?

Veni Veni Emmanuel





 

He’s our mercy.




He’s our peace.




He’s our salvation.

And He’s enough.




More than enough.

I pray your Christmas 

wishing-well is filled 

with love, joy, peace,

like this:

Simpatia





 I believe I’ll always 

have a heartbeat 

for simpatia.




Why?




Well, this simple Spanish

 word for empathy 

perfectly describes 

my hopes for the way 

we journey alongside 

one another.




It stands for: 

'Accord + harmony within 

relationships + society.'




It fosters peace + the 

well-being of the whole.




And this kind of 

connectedness is the 

very best kind, ‘eh?




It’s a sort of 

social communion, 

I think.




And given the 

unfortunate fractures 

in the world today, 

we ALL need it.


 


We all desperately 

need simpatia.









What's your experience 

with simpatia?




I value you + your views

so, let's communicate!
