Happy holidays, friends
The holiday season is here, bringing with it the sights, sounds and traditions that make this time of year so magical. For many of us, the holidays are a chance to recreate the joy we felt as children, whether it’s through the twinkle of festive lights, the aroma of holiday baking or cherished family traditions.
While this season is joyful for many, it can also be a difficult time for those who are grieving, lonely or in need. In the spirit of the season, let’s come together as a community to extend kindness and compassion to those who may be struggling. Whether it’s donating to a local charity, volunteering your time or simply checking in on a neighbor, every act of generosity makes a difference. May your holidays be filled with love, peace and the joy of giving.
Happy Holidays!

Technology For Health
Emory Johns Creek Hospital recently held a ‘test-drive’ for its newest non-surgical robot, called ION. The ION bronchoscopy system by Intuitive uses minimally invasive fiberoptic technology to allow clinicians to biopsy lung nodules that may be suspicious for lung cancer. Stephanie Hampton, MD, assistant professor of pulmonary and critical care at Emory University School of Medicine, says, "traditionally clinicians have been limited by the size and location of nodules they’ve been able to biopsy."

THE MAESTRO’S HOLIDAY PLAYLIST
JCSO Music Director, Henry Cheng is an internationally recognized conductor whose work brings together musical excellence, cultural curiosity and a deep commitment to community. Winner of the Antal Doráti International Conducting Competition and the European Union Conducting
“EVERY
like candlelight — fragile, human, divine. I’ve conducted it dozens of times, and it still humbles me every single measure.
FAVORITE POP:
Wham! – “Last Christmas”
It’s shamelessly 80s, unapologeti-
YEAR I HEAR SOMETHING NEW: A COUNTERMELODY I’D MISSED, OR A MOMENT OF STILLNESS BEFORE THE LIFT.”
Competition, Cheng has led performances across Europe, Asia and North America with ensembles such as the La Scala Chamber Orchestra and the Tonyeong International Music Festival Ensemble. He studied at Georgia State University, the Eastman School of Music, Indiana University and the University of the Arts in Berlin.
We asked the maestro what he and his family listen to during the holiday season.
FAVORITE CLASSICAL (INSTRUMENTAL):
Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker, “Pas de Deux”
It’s not just nostalgia — it’s choreography in sound. Every year I hear something new: a countermelody I’d missed, or a moment of stillness before the lift. It reminds me that even tradition can surprise you when you really listen.
FAVORITE CLASSICAL (CHORAL):
Morten Lauridsen – O Magnum Mysterium
The kind of piece that makes you forget to breathe. It’s music that feels
cally glittery and has survived every musical fashion. Beneath the synths, it’s about heartbreak, hope and giving again — which is sort of the job description of a musician.
FAVORITE OLD-TIME:
Bing Crosby – “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”
Because every musician knows what it’s like to be on the road and miss the people who make the holidays matter. It’s the most honest holiday song ever written — equal parts warmth and ache.
FAMILY FAVORITE:
Vince Guaraldi Trio – “Linus and Lucy” from A Charlie Brown Christmas
My daughter starts dancing before the first bass line finishes. That’s the test. If a 4-year-old can’t help but move, you’ve made music that truly lives.
Pictured are Henry, his wife Joanne, daughter Coco, and Baby Ruby is in the tummy!
HO HO HO! Santa Claus is busy at the North Pole— but he’s taking time

What Giving Taught Me
“It is the heart that does the giving; the fingers only let go.” — Nigerian proverb I want to start with a story. My understanding of giving grew from my early experiences. A family that hosted gatherings frequently. A church that taught me about tithing time, talent and treasure. A school where I learned the value of community, relationships and connection. A grandparent’s garden that fed a neighborhood. That is how, when and where I learned about giving and letting go.
I have been writing my way through Suleika Jaouad’s The Book of Alchemy — a book of essays and writing prompts that foster creativity. The final essay in the book, “Gestures
“Thank you softens and holds. Thank you feeds and comforts. Thank you wakes up the as if and the not yet.”
from the Soul” by Behida Dolić instructs, “Create a little gesture from the soul, something free. Then write about what you created, how it made you feel, how it will live on.”
When I think about soul gestures, heart-giving and letting go — and what we receive when we give — I remember the month before my 50th birthday. That month, I wrote 50 thank-you notes to people for whom I am grateful — people I knew and admired up close (like friends and family) and people I didn’t know and admired from afar. I sent thank-you notes to artists, writers, politicians, philosophers, pastors, non-profit leaders and others. Each note shared my gratitude for their work.
What I Learned Writing 50 Thank-You Notes
Thank you builds connective tissue. It creates connective tissue between our hearts and our hands, ourselves and each other and our communities and our world. That is the strength of thank you. It gives kindness muscle. It gives shape to generosity. It makes it easier to love again and again and again.
Thank you is a vulnerable act. It is vulnerable because there can be no expectation of a response. It must not connect to entitlement—or the sense that we are owed a thank you in return. It must come from an honest, openhearted space of profound gratitude. We must freely give. Thank you must be the entire point.
Magic begins with thank you. Thank you ripples and extends. Thank you softens and holds. Thank you feeds and comforts. Thank you wakes up the as if and the not yet . Thank you creates the world we want to live in.
The Heart Does the Giving
My connection to giving returns me to my roots. As a child, I learned giving did not mean a transactional, tit-for-tat, self-serving situation. Giving did not mean counting presents, feeling entitled and keeping track. Giving did not mean there was only so much pie, so guard against excessive generosity.
As an adult, I started (and continue) studying gratitude — conducting interviews, teaching writing classes and practicing gratitude.
I learned there is a deep connection between gratitude and giving. Thank you is a building block of grateful living. It is essential to understand the difference between grateful for and grateful to . It is where we start to heal the pain of isolation, individualism and separateness.
The Fingers Only Let Go
The why behind giving is as important as what we give. It’s deeper than the adage, “It is not the gift. It is the thought that counts”. Let me explain. Gifts — the time we spend, the favorite things we find and give, the thank you notes we send — are the real-life manifestation of our connection with one another. Relationships are the core of a heart-centered why.
Why Giving Matters
I did not hear much in response to my birthday letters. That was not the point. In my 50 years, I had learned at the feet, stood on the shoulders, heard the wisdom and leaned in with my whole body. I wanted to say thank you. It’s about soul gestures, heart-giving and letting go. The letters were all of that. The letters live on. They live on in fostering the habit of paying attention. They live on in the way gratitude multiplies. They live on in the desire to create a world where giving is common like roots, breath and sunshine.

‘Tis The Season
Celebrating 35 Years of Caring for Our Seniors
When Marian Andeweg-Kemp signed up to deliver Meals on Wheels one morning, she thought it would be a quick, six-stop route. But one visit changed her day — and reminded her why she volunteers.
Sam is 93 years old and nearly blind, and at his house, Marian was greeted with a wideopen door and an invitation to come in. What was supposed to take minutes turned into an hour of stories, laughter and connection. For Sam, Marian was the first person he had talked to since yesterday’s meal delivery. For Marian, it was a powerful reminder: Meals on Wheels isn’t just about food — it’s about human connection, compassion and making sure seniors feel safe and cared for.
Stories like Marian’s happen every day at Senior Services North Fulton, where the mission is to help older adults live with dignity, independence and joy. Thanks to the generosity of donors, corporate sponsors and over 500 volunteers, the nonprofit offers vital programs that keep seniors safe, healthy and connected – all at no cost to the seniors served.
“Our volunteers are the heart of everything we do,” says Cathy Pope, Executive Director of Senior Services North Fulton. “They deliver not only meals but compassion, friendship and a connection that many seniors might not have otherwise.”
ARTICLE BY HEATHER TERRY
The Meals on Wheels program delivers nutritious meals to homebound seniors, while Meals on Wheels for Pets ensures older adults can feed their beloved pets, keeping these vital bonds intact.
Transitional housing program (PaTH) helps prevent senior homelessness with short-term assistance for rent and utilities. And the TOPS Transportation program provides rides to medical appointments, supporting seniors’ health and independence.
Senior Services North Fulton also operates seven senior centers that serve as community hubs where older adults come together to learn, exercise, create and connect. From art classes and fitness programs to shared meals and lively social activities, these centers are places where seniors thrive. Located in Alpharetta/Crabapple, Milton, Roswell, Sandy Springs and across the City of Atlanta, these centers bring joy, friendship and belonging to hundreds of older adults each year.
“Every program we offer is designed to help seniors live safely, stay connected and maintain their independence,” Pope adds. “None of it would be possible without the support of our community — from volunteers to donors to corporate partners. They help us make a difference every day.”
In 2026, Senior Services North Fulton will celebrate their 35th anniversary with the theme Shine the Light – Celebrating 35 Years of Service to Our Seniors. All year long, endeavors will honor the past 35 years, look ahead to the next 35 and spotlight the seniors, volunteers and supporters who make the
work possible. Highlights include the Alpharetta Rotary Polar Bear Plunge on February 7, the “Shine the Light” Gala on June 5 and Giving Tuesday on December 1.
North Fulton residents, local companies, and community leaders are invited to shine the light. Your support — through sponsorships, donations, or volunteering — directly impacts the lives of seniors in North Fulton.

HAPPY HANUKKAH
The hearth is the heart of the home
The best holiday conversations usually happen in the kitchen. Focusing on measuring, peeling, chopping and basting, we can chit chat or go for a deep dive with fellow cooks. Yes, a good kitchen will have thoughtfully spaced appliances, a ton of storage and plenty of work surfaces, but more importantly, a well-designed kitchen will invite conversations, with well-lit places for all the peelers.
This pretty kitchen by The Designery Atlanta was created by owner Allie Hauser to showcase sleek countertops, trendy tile and custom storage solutions that the company is known for. Allie and her team of creatives manage kitchen, bath and closet remodel products and new builds.
“My inspiration for this design was to show clients that warm neutrals can be just as beautiful and timeless as white kitchens,” says Allie. By introducing subtle warmth through neutral tones and the natural texture of quartersawn white oak, the space achieves a fresh, elevated look that feels both inviting and sophisticated.”
The kitchen features Fieldstone Cabinetry in the Coral Hills Inset door style. The perimeter cabinets are finished in Mushroom on maple, while the island showcases a Lake Solo finish on quartersawn white oak. Both the perimeter and island countertops are

leathered Fantasy Brown, with mitered edges and dual waterfall panels on the island for a refined, contemporary touch.
This month, our design partner, Andria Parker of Haven Lane, decorated one of the bright kitchens in The Designery Atlanta’s expansive showroom.
Andria rolls out a special Hanukkah gathering with splashes of festive blue and a menorah as a reverent focal point for the kitchen.
“This is a fresh, elevated look that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Hanukkah is such a special time for our family. Every Hanukkah feels like a celebration not just of the season, but of being together,” says Allie. “The house is always filled with laughter, joy, and the sounds of kids running around the living room. We
light the candles together, sing the blessings, exchange gifts, and soak in the glow of being surrounded by people we love. One of my favorite traditions is my Aunt Sheryl’s special treat, caviar on latkes with sour cream. It’s something we all look forward to every year.”
