snatches of solitude
warm, sunny mornings
elk albondigas
pannetone
a near-completed painting
a grieving ritual
babies who sing Doe, A Deer
laptop video-on-demand
going to bed before i turn into a pumpkin
going with the feeling
patching something up
hanging the stockings with care
slicing through the bullshit
bathtub tarot card readings
perfect holiday pedicure
shopping for children complete and ready to wrap
hilarious stories that threaten to make me pee
winter babies on the way
up late with harry potter and a saucer-eyed son
growing his hair out
the littlest one shouting "happy tutu!" when it's time to get dressed
pee pee in the potty
dreaming in pairs: geese, bats, doves
concert tickets taped to the fridge
reading the grail myth several different ways
all the pretty horses
holiday yoga giveaways
christmas dresses
sacred intention
skeleton woman
a bowlful of tiny beach stones
double fat eggnog
lion bars
barbecue chicken pizza
deep friendship made of trust, dipped in love, glittered with age
spirit gifts
mica flakes
horsie sheets
and nightcaps
