I wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas!  Though we may differ in our spiritual beliefs and practices, I believe we are all blessed by the same loving Creator.  I was raised to appreciate and respect the spirit of the holidays. No matter your spiritual tradition, I wish  you a peaceful and joyful heart this holiday season.  Unfortunately, I know from personal experience how difficult the holidays can be when you have lost someone close to you. For those of you who have experienced loss this past year or who may be coping with some other life challenge, I pray that you find comfort and strength.

I am including in this post a photograph my husband, Joe Brooks, recently took. We have been blessed with some amazing sunsets and in this particular picture I see an angel kneeling in prayer.  May the presence of God and his angels grace your life and keep you safe.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
