CHRISTMAS

     Christmas is the time to recognize the people we love and appreciate, and to feel their love and appreciation for us in return. The build-up is grandiose and there's always a sense that the day should be big and bold and the height of ecstasy and all of our best emotions, but as I grow and evolve, I find it much more a time to be soft and quiet. Christmas feels small almost, and delicate, easily missed and misunderstood. It is gentle gratitude and warm homespun celebration. It's from the inside out, and not the other way around. Let's breathe and smile and celebrate the great light of love that comes to us in the middle of winter's chill.

I welcome Christmas!
