November has come and gone and the frigid winter greets us with a harsh wind as we pull those whom we love nearer. Somehow, the over saturation of holiday music piping through the aroma of sweet espresso while sipping gingernog has left us wanting. Now it is time for that which brings us to a refreshing place of meditation during this seasonally sacred moment before the christening of a new year of opportunity. We missed you. We hope you missed us as well.
