Here it is Christmas Eve, following on the heels of a beautiful Solstice, and heading into a New Year. We have always gathered with friends and other loved ones this time of year to share a meal, and stories, music, and our hopes for the coming days. During this particular time we are living in we absolutely could use more of these gatherings and good will sharing, however, we will not be hosting one this year. We have a relative who is just out of heart surgery who is recuperating here at the ranch, and we can not risk any viruses or illness, so we will be missing you, but holding you in our hearts and minds.
We are forever grateful for all the support and friendship this past year, for our family and our little herb business. Our fervent wish is that you wear a smile more often than a frown, and you are constantly reminded of all you have to be grateful for, day to day.
We have lost some dear friends this past year, and have a few others on their way, including family members. At our age (70), this has become something we are all too familiar with. Hold your loved ones close, and make sure to nurture yourself on a daily basis.
Our thoughts are with all who are struggling and in need, and our hopes are that our country and the world, are touched with grace, common sense, compassion, and peace.

In closing, here is a fun piece from Nick Polizzi, at Sacred Science you might enjoy. ("Is Santa a Sun God?")
Always,
Su & Mike, Ian, Juniper, Tia, Ladyhawke, Trubadour, Yoyo, Gracie and the many other creatures living with us!

In the spirit of sacred curiosity we did a little digging through the archaeological record to find out exactly where and when the “Red One” stepped into our collective reality. This seemingly innocent exercise quickly blew up into a journey across cultures, continents, and millennia. I hope you...
