Year-End Ritual with Multi-Year Results
These last few weeks have been disconcerting. My greatest desire has been to spend as much time as possible under as many covers as possible. By 6:30, I’ve often been in bed, hunkering down with books or journals or deep diving into my Year-End Ritual (which I’m about...
