Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.

How can it be December already? The time has spun by like tops. For me, this last year was a roller coaster ride, filled with some hard times, loss, belt-tighting and struggle, and good times too, travel, new books, family and friends, and wonderful work.

I am excited because 2012 is going to bring all kinds of new things, new ideas and hopefully lots more toys. My wish for you today is that you are warm, happy, safe and loved.

Best thoughts,
