Christmas Wishes 2025
Let me wish all of you, your families and loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It’s been big around here.
Professionally has been hard with job changes and challenges that employment and limited budget inflict.
Personally has had more than it’s fair share of challenges too.
.
But for all that, life is good.
My children are doing incredibly well.
I have managed to buy and move into my own home, a tiny house. It’s the first time I’ve had my own space since 2012 (prior to getting married) and post-divorce. So it’s pretty exciting to finally achieve some goals and get on living and enjoying life.
.
It’s going to be a bit rough out there in the community after events that just occurred in Bondi.
There’s now a heap of families that have lost loved ones.
I can only suggest that we build community and watch your flanks for bad actors.
Peace and goodwill to all.

So, my fellow scout leader Hawk had a brilliant thought:
We should walk the Oxfam Trailwalker.
