A letter from the Editor

Dear Friends:
After much ado, we are settled here in Sarasota, Florida and finding our way to all the important places, like bakeries and art stores. In a never-ending search to accomplish our desires, the story of the “moth to the flame” keeps resurfacing. At this time of year, when we count our blessings, I am grateful for each awakening to true self and learning to be still in our Graces. Not wanting a continual singeing of wings, I am presently sitting in the cool shadow of gratitude. In my thankfulness, I include all of you who have fulfilled my life with purpose and love. Our very best wishes to you for a blessed, safe, and joyous Holiday season. May December find you painting more and shopping less._ God Bless. OM
