Weekend Wisdom: <\/strong>If you crave a slow, spacious holiday season remember this … it’s easier to take back a no than to take back a yes.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m spending time with my family in a lovely, local mountain town. The fire is crackling and I haven’t been out of leggings or joggers in days. We’ve enjoyed movies, games, pie, coffee and an overnight snow storm. I’m not working much but I did print a copy of Gentle<\/em>, so I am reading it on paper for the first time. I’m not done writing it but I knew it was time to hold the words in my hands. This time last year I was working on the book proposal and the year prior was full of other book ideas that never got off the ground. By the time the book comes out in early 2025, it will be years in the making. I can’t wait to share it with you.<\/p>\n
