Happy New Year!

Sending you my best west coast wishes for a happy and healthy 2016. May your year be full of family and friends — and many good books to read!

Cheers!

Happy Holidays!

I love this image of children around the world holding hands. (It is from the Unicef calendar.) What a lovely sentiment — one full of promise and hope.

The holiday season is upon us and, in my part of the world, school closes tomorrow for the winter break. (I can hear the children cheering from here.)

As the festivities get underway, I wish you a very happy time with family and friends, and a promising, hopeful start to the New Year!

Cheers!
