One early morning a month, I meet with my Mastermind group. Today our get-together happened to be after a big snow storm, the kind of day and the kind of dark when it’s easy to say, “I’d rather stay in bed.” Instead, I put on my laid-out clothing, laced up my winter boots and I headed out into the quiet and cold.

It was dazzling.

There’s something about the snow, the way it slows us down, the way it brightens things up. Today it promised some magic.
