This is My Grown-up Christmas List

As the years go by, I “want” less and less. Christmas becomes more about reflection and taking time for myself. As I pause this Christmas season, I’m reminded of the unrest that still exists in the world around us. You can hardly turn on the news without realizing the pain and suffering of those near and far. I do what I can daily to keep a positive mindset - meditation, prayer, long walks, time with friends…all of these things bring me peace.

This colorful, quirky pole sits outside of my studio and acts as a daily reminder of that powerful mantra - “That peace prevail on Earth”. It might be a tall order, but I believe that’s all I’ll ask for this year - Peace. Peace for you. Peace for your family. Peace for those you love. Peace for those who are strangers. May the peace and joy of the holidays touch you on a new level this year…a level that will call you to actions of love and kindness.

God Bless,

Karla
