The joy of hugs and embraces during this season that our world is in - of separation, quarantines, self-isolation, lock-downs; stirs something inside me. My heart aches for those who feel like they're walking this season alone.  We may be surrounded, even overwhelmed, by much fear, anxiety, longing, grief and discomfort. But these are circumstances that can be endured and overcome, not alone, but together. May we be overwhelmed instead by weaving together through effort, love, action, and hope around the world.  So though a physical hug and touch may not be within reach to those you want to reach out to, stretch your warm words, and wrap a dear friend or even a stranger, in the embrace of your words of kindness and light.  I've been blessed to find mine, seek yours. Let the light of others shine. And if given the opportunity, be the one that holds them up for all to see.
