Correction to my statement at the end of this video: the book I mentioned is made up of mostly NEW words, many that are coined by the dictionary itself, not old words that are no longer used (I have had a cold and not been at my best this week, my brain is fried lol I apologize, I explained that completely wrong haha).
The winter snows have come. I recently saw a book about ‘wintering’ and the art of coming home to oneself in December, reacquainting yourself with your emotions and goals for the new year. It is a delicate time, an opportunity to cultivate a cozy nest and enjoy a quiet time. I was visiting my parents little cabin recently and discovered this wonderful book, and had to get my own copy.
