Welcome to the Winter Solstice! As this year draws to a close and the days in Seattle so very dim and short I feel grateful to be done with 2020 and also aware that I don’t want to take any time for granted.

Soon you will see glimpses of light and other encouraging signs. I think the worst is over. I wish you good health and happiness and some space within you for calm and a feeling of safety. Thank you for being here.
