MERRY!

School vacation has officially begun, so I am unplugging for at least a week too. I cannot wait to experience Christmas through my children's eyes, still so full of wonder. I'll listen to my older child shamelessly belt Christmas carols (when he thinks no one is listening) and I hope to see the sheer joy in my little one's eyes as he takes his first sledding run of the season.

Feel free to subscribe to posts (right there on the right hand column) if you want to be in the loop when I get back to writing. I have fabulous new recipes lined up and am excited to do some reading over break for even more ideas of healthful, quick meals, as well as more balance and happiness in the year ahead, which I'll share.

Before I sign off, I wanted to pass this thoughtful quote along (via my parents' beloved yoga teacher Ryan, and then my mom), which I think will make all of us smile and appreciate our friends and family even more as we enter the Christmas season...

"Satisfaction is less a matter of getting what you want than wanting what you have."

- Tsongkhapa

I hope that all of you have a truly wonderful and relaxing Christmas.
