    About this ebook

    Everyone has a legacy, and millions of us never fully realize our purpose for being here. How often do we fantasize that our reason for being born is to do some great deed, invent some unique machine, or win some prize, but happy is the one who can simply express her inner being through the writing of poetic words, which shines through the years as a well-lived pilgrimage of peace, understanding, and graciousness.

    In love,

    Bob Sanders

      The BEST Day Of CHRISTMAS

      Oct 24, 2019

      For me, Christmas Eve is about the stockings: the anticipation of that weight on your covers when you wake up; that woollen crunch as you move your legs. Everything in our stockings is wrapped except the walnuts, apple and satsuma that mark the end o

      Tis The Season To SLOW DOWN

      Oct 22, 2020

      This is my favourite time of year. I love everything about it: the twinkly lights, the sprigs of mistletoe, the smell of satsumas. Last December I was told to nibble a carrot and claim Rudolf had been feeling peckish. Hell, I’d nailed Santa’s brandy,

      Worst. Christmas. Ever.

      Nov 11, 2019

      As a family, we always managed to avoid festive disasters. When our dog was seen running down the street with a Christmas turkey in his teeth, our turkey was still in the fridge. But a few years ago, in my thirties and newly married, I realised it wa
