May this day find your table surrounded by those that you love and may there be laughter, light and peace.

All is calm, all is bright and we are waiting…

Hello, December! You’ve arrived with a nip to the air and Jack Frost on your heels. There are rumours of snow for next week and I’m relishing the thought.
We’re ready for hot chocolate walks while we look at Christmas lights glowing. We’re ready to stay up late watching old movies and eating buttery popcorn. We’re ready to keep our Christmas albums spinning while we eat dinner by the glow of the Christmas tree.
We’re ready for the adventures we have planned this month and the school break that allows us to soak up everything in this most resplendent of seasons. And the opportunity that the school holiday brings, to be able to breathe and drink in the world around us at our own pace.
We’re ready for our holiday baking to begin and the house to be filled with the smell of sugar cookies, gingerbread, cinnamon and peppermint. We’re ready to linger over the breakfast table working on the crossword together with hot cups of coffee in hand.
We’re ready for the reflective moments and the collective calm this season brings amongst the sparkle and glitter and glow.
We’re ready for this most holy of seasons and pray that peace, light and love continue to shine through the darkness.
Welcome, December, fill our hearts with good cheer.

The Happiest of Thanksgiving wishes to you!
I hope this year finds you surrounded by family and friends, love, warmth, good food and laughter. x

Here we stand on the cusp of a New Year. So much has happened in these past 365 days and also so little. To say goodbye to one year and to greet the next is at times a bittersweet process. But we stand ready and waiting for what this next year has in store.
May this coming year hold beauty for us all. Wishing you love and light as we kiss this past year goodbye and open our arms in greeting to the new one about to dawn.
