Well here we are. In the exact middle of winter. Bleh. Or yay, if you take advantage of this moment to snuggle in, rest, and repair, as Katherine May prescribes in her book Wintering. Many of us hit a bluesy patch right about now, and this year we’re enjoying a double whammy of seasonal affective

For my annual resolution, I always pick a word. And that word represents something I need to replenish; something I’d like to have more on in my life. In the past the words have been abundance, enough-ness, and love. For 2019, I chose clarity. For me, clarity means feeling all the feels, as uncomfortable as they
