There are, to my mind, three kinds of Holiday celebrations: C-stressful, with weeks of angst and harried preparation, lots of forgotten things or things that just didn’t work out, blunders, regrets and not much time for celebration, B – family bustle that takes a bunch of effort but is worth it to have all the…
Today is the shortest day of the year and tomorrow Winter begins and the return of the sun for those of us in the Northern hemisphere. Winter is a time for turning inwards. The hard work of harvest and storage is done. The land sleeps and we can rest from all of our hard work…

My heart and my prayers go out to the families of those who have been killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
