No, this isn’t about the “Happy Holidays” vs. “Merry Christmas” thing.

I decided to be closed for 4 weeks during the winter this year and am testing the viability of this concept, both in terms of its restorative qualities for my as well as the convenience/inconvience to my clients.

The first two weeks were about the family gatherings and a little travel. The second two weeks are about creative projects. I am just starting a writing project that I hope will turn into something of merit, but for now it’s more of an exercise in creativity. Meanwhile, I am knitting and reflecting and generally enloying life. More will be forthcoming as I discover whether or not I can take this personal retreat every year
