A mystical quote to get us started: “Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.” ― Meister Eckhart Happy Holidays, my friend! There is so much energy in the air that I hardly know where to begin! First, let…
Perhaps our first thought is that there isn’t a lot of magic + wonder this holiday season. I’m pretty sure that most of us are not celebrating the holidays in the ways we usually do. I, for one, have been dreaming every night this…
I had a whole post in mind to share with you last weekend. A way to welcome the holiday season with a sense of presence + meaning. But, obviously, that didn’t happen. Never fear, though. That post is going to be shared (hopefully!) tomorrow…
It’s time to kick off the holiday season with my annual 12 months + 12 blessings summary. Of course, this time it’s 2020 style = the pandemic edition. I know, it seems a bit daunting to think about the past 12 months and to…

I’m bringing back my weekly post series – and I couldn’t be happier. Last year I didn’t do a weekly roundup post, and turns out, I missed it terribly. So 2018 is the year of the comeback. And I cannot wait to get started…
In Sweden, we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. It’s an entire day filled with food, music, family, and traditions. And, this year, is a “Sweden year” for me + Lina; so we’ve taken the train down to Norrköping to spend the weekend with Lina’s…
