The Heart of the Holidays: Finding Magic in Joy, Memories, and Winter’s Quiet Moments
Take Joy, Connection, and Calm in Winter's Glow from Holiday Time Holiday time is that season of joy and nostalgia and reflection in the final throes of the year. For most, it is a time of the year when all the steps of the neighborhood light up, families sit across tables full of food, and laughter abounds in rooms full of all styles of festive cheer. But under all that partying, it all tries to be a chance to reconnect and reflect, savoring small pockets of peace. Okay, well, let's dive into the heart of the season and how to do it all in big and little ways.

I performed at Oxford Di-Verse Poetry
I attended a poetry festival in Oxford that celebrates diversity and was a safe space for the LGBTQ umbrella which I thought was lovely. It was good to see so many voices in the same room. The poems I heard were excellent and it made me think how is my work going to compare to that. I did a lot of workshops with the Oxford Poetry Library and I think it's been a great thing that has supported the community. The founder, Phoebe started it as for a town with such literary importance as Oxford, the lack of accessible space for poetry was dire. It's such a lovely space and it's encouraged me to write things that helped me heal through traumatic events.
