I have always loved the season of Advent, tho’ when I was a girl, it meant only the opening of the pretty, glitter-sprinkled German Advent calendars that were a tradition in our family. As a young mother, the possibilities enlarged to the creating of atmosphere, preparing the way for a calmer Christmas, enjoying our own version of traditions we were discovering.

At Wisteria & Sunshine, the private haven I’ve been tending for five years now, we go deeper with all of these things, including the layer of making it all as earth-conscious as we are able. In very recent days, tho’, it has felt important to bring even more thoughtfulness and light in.

After many days of quiet and pondering, as the November days unfolded, I laid myself down on the soft rug in my studio, sunlight pouring through the glass doors, in child’s pose, and poured my heart out for an embodiment of all that I had found helpful in recent days…poetry…beauty…the sharing ways to make a difference. And later in the day, I received an idea…a series of short, lovely emails, delivered daily to inboxes throughout the season of Advent. A bit of poetry, an inspiring photograph (or two, or three), a small seasonally-focused, earth-honouring action to take…in our hearts, our homes, our days, our spirits…
