Dear Readers,

   As I write this note, we are just days away from the winter solstice. This winter and the spring to follow will be times of creative productivity in which I will be completing a manuscript that hopefully will become a published book in late 2017 or early 2018. It is because of this obligation that you have not seen recent posts. As well, throughout the winter I will not be posting here on a regular basis. I hope that you, my readers, will bear with me throughout my absence. Know that, even as I write my book, I will be thinking of new ideas to include here in the future. 

   In the meantime, I wish you all lives filled with love and creative productivity throughout these months and beyond. May the still, quiet beauty of a winter’s night be your inspiration, your joy, your peace! 

Abundant blessings, 

Joy
