I just love this time of year – family, friends, celebrations, gifts, great food….so much to love!
And, It’s so easy to get caught up in the hullabaloo of the celebrations that we sometimes forget what a sacred time of year it is to go inwards and reflect.
My family celebrates Chanuka, and it has been so wonderful this year for Penina to get really excited about lighting the candles and the magic of light in the middle of the darkest time of year.

Last Friday marked my last day in “the office” before taking time off for end of year rest and reflection (R & R). I must admit, I am very excited to have lots of space and time for luxurious down-time. Wherever you are and whatever you celebrate this time of year, I hope you take some time for yourself!
With love,
Joanna
