My Christmas Wishes to You

Mom's Christmas angel collection

I'm about to sign off for a few days to celebrate Christmas at Mom & Dad's, meat pies and merriment await! Not to mention books, cable TV (can you say HGTV?!) and quiet time by the fireplace.

I look forward to it. I am blessed.

This Christmas I wish you joy and cheer. I wish you peace. I also wish you space to remove the mask we sometimes don during the season when we're not quite feeling it and don't want to disappoint, space to be yourself if you need it. I wish you Love.

Merry Christmas.

Remember

This December,

That love weighs more than gold!

Happy Solstice

And just like that the Winter Solstice is here, the season changes and darkness will turn into light.

I am grateful for the seven women who generously offered their reflections here during the past three weeks and to YOU for stopping by. I hope the words and images shared gave you chance to pause and consider your own entry into winter.

Today I offer you no profound reflections or words, but a joyful ditty I discovered last year called Winter Solstice, by The Tea Party (the band). It makes me smile - I hope it makes you smile too.

Happy Solstice,

Stephanie
