I was born in a small town in southern Alberta, but have spent my life wandering. My husband, five children, and I are currently settling into the suburbs of Atlanta where we've recently embarked on a homeschooling journey. I've always had a passion for writing; in fact, I don't think I could survive without writing. I have boxes (and boxes) filled with journals, stories, and poetry, and have spent the past 14 years or so keeping a family blog up to date. Hardly a day goes by that I don't write something. It's what keeps me sane.
I've been working on compiling a standardized booklet of Christmas songs for the ukulele so that when our ukulele group gets together later this month we all have the same music. It's a time-consuming enterprise since I don't really know what I'm doing (and MuseScore, though wonderful, can be quirky (though perhaps that quirkiness falls on the user and not the program)). At any rate, here is The First Noël , of which I grew up singing only the first two verses. Imagine my surprise when I learned there aren't just three or four verses, but six. Six! In this version I tweaked the last verse (omitting verses four and five) to read: Now let us all with one accord Seek to follow our Savior, the Light of the World, And like that star that shone so bright Help others to find Him by sharing His light.
