Hello Kathryn! I am thankful to have met you this year! I wish you a blessed 2024! This beautiful photo of a tree was in my mind when I sketched a response to a prompt for the new year. With my work at school and my two daughters off to college, I truly need the quiet and awe to ground me! Because of my busy-ness right now, I have to pass on the diocesan art retreat Jan 20, but I look forward to the next occasion!
Likewise, it was great to meet you and I love seeing your drawings. And, yes with college schedules, January feels like another time of transition here too. Trees, awe, and quiet continue to ground me and nurture my creativity. Grateful for your connection.
Thank you Kathryn for such affirming quietness and solitude. I am waiting for this moment. However, I have always told all that I sleep like a hibernating bear, no matter the circumstances. Knowing God is all loving I have always been able to sleep soundly, and I am Grateful.
Such a lovely newsletter, Kathryn! And, yes, quietness. I find a voluptuous variant of it at night these days, on my balcony, as I await the winter solstice and the (woefully slow) return of the sun...
Yes, it always intrigues me that the official start of winter is the first day of the light beginning to grow again - these long nights do lend a slowness to the end of December. I love this image of you on the balcony awaiting the sun.

I think a lot about hibernating bears this time of year, and yes, sleeping like one feels like a true blessing. Wishing you coziness.
