In Celebration of Scrittura’s Writers: December
The page has turned on another year. Here in the Piedmont of North Carolina, there is snow for the first time in a few years. While across the continent, my L.A. friends are afraid to return to their homes to see what remains of their burned-down neighborhoods.

On a personal note, we have had a major loss in our family, and my overwhelm has kept me wanting to pull the covers over my head.

“Wonderful Words” is a selection of our favorite pieces from the previous month. Since we were on vacation in December, there are fewer selections this time! We value human connection, attention…
