Sometimes little things make big memories. My mother in law has had cognitive challenges for several years. However, she still lights up when Elvis music is played. Therefore, my wife pulled together an Elvis Christmas party before her parents start an extended road trip. We all had a part but I got asked to be the face of the event. ...did I mention how expensive Elvis impersonators are? I think we'll look back and say that today was one of the little things. Even my teenage son thought it was cool. My wife saw how important a few moments of family silliness could be, but as with so many other event, I was just along for the ride. It'll be a Blue Christmas without Gammy and Papa but today was a good substitute. Moments like these matter, not because of what we do, but because what they mean to the people involved ...giving and receiving simple expressions of love. My wife sees them coming, months ahead of time. She's special that way.

So… I’m one day in, two members strong, and I’m already changing the focus of this group. 😄 What started as a Book Club is officially becoming Chris Jeub’s Page — a place for thoughtful discussion, not just reading. Don’t worry, I still love books (maybe too much), but I’ve realized I’ve got more to share than whatever’s on my Kindle this week. Here’s the funny part: I spent two months figuring out what I wanted this to be… and then, the morning I launch it, I change my mind. Classic. I hope this doesn’t broaden things too much — maybe Lance and Tom just wanted a good book group — but don’t worry, you’ll still get that! The Monday 10am “book talk” is staying put. I just see more potential here. I’m already thinking of ways to use the Skool platform to make this a more helpful, engaging space for more people. Skool — in the Internet/Ai space — is quickly replacing social media, blogging, vlogging, etc. I've been tapping my toes into the platform for a while, and this page is my way of jumping into the pool. So yeah, one day in and already pivoting. That’s how you know this club’s alive — or at least run by someone who changes his mind too quickly. 😅
