I too love Gallia and especially the type for the quote. I am yet to discover its name despite much forensic investigating but I think is so beautiful and so elegant.

Your words give me hope - each decision is thoughtful, each choice deliberate and a form of honouring. I struggled to think how I could honour my own feelings for Christmas and came up with Peace...always peace.

For the past 4 years, since moving to New Mexico and because we live in a small house, I make a tree from free leftover branches, usually a little wonky lopsided endeavor but it gives me such joy to create from discards. Simply decorated with dried orange slices and this year, lemon slices as well, our tree honors the coming of the light from Winter Solstice. I add paper snowflakes made over 40 years ago when our girls were small and because this is New Mexico, I honor this place we call home with dried red chiles, grown in our garden and hung on our makeshift tree. A simple strand of fairy lights and our top is a photo of our grandchildren; a benediction of place, season and family.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305881181604750937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-65860636120093593632017-12-05T23:11:29.835+10:002017-12-05T23:11:29.835+10:00Love the Gallia ...
