In case you need a little levity at the start of these dark days, I’m sharing a video my daughter made. A friend said recently that her word for 2025 was Joy, and she wasn’t willing to give that up.

I couldn’t bear to watch or think about the inauguration. I’m not checked out, but I am protecting myself. Today I am thinking of what is most important to me. Beauty, justice, love. I will gird them around me for the trials ahead.

I’m creating another Advent tree w/ a daily ink from the Diamine Inkvent calendar. This year’s inspiration is one of my very favorite stories. I never tire of it. Self-published by Charles Dickens in 1843 - his publishers didn’t believe in it. What good work this book has done in the world!

So grateful for the hearth of the house. There is even a stone heart at the top. I wish I knew who this thoughtful stonemason was.
