Welcome to Embers and Wind!


Keith Weedman states “May you and your family be blessed during the holidays. May some of these blessings extend to every day of every year.  Whether you are a Christian, have a different faith or consider yourself to be an agnostic or an atheist, you can experience these benefits each and every day of every year. These benefits are two positive emotions many associate with the giving and receiving of gifts with people they love. They are joy in giving and gratitude in receiving. These emotions are entwined with one another. The more gratitude you feel and express in receiving a gift from someone you love, the more joy the giver feels in giving this gift to you. The reason you want to experience these positive emotions every day of every year is both emotions elevate performance. They do not just elevate performance; they also elevate engagement.”
