First wish: I wish for you a moments peace. Just for a moment. As a child I dreamt that the entire world slept. I dreamt that we all slept at the same. Something about that stuck with me even then. I felt peaceful believing the world was asleep. So maybe when you go to sleep, the rest of the world is doing that too.

I remember one Christmas eve being dragged home in a sled during a snowstorm.My dad was pulling me. Mom was pulling my sister. I was falling asleep. I felt whole. Everything was light. We just felt warm. Close, like animals all balled up on each other. Those moments weren’t too bad. As an adult, I still get that sense of calm and quiet on Christmas eve. This puppy pile feeling, leads me to my second wish.

Second wish: I wish that you feel close to people you love. Whether they live on the other side of the globe or the other side of the street, hold them how you can. If not in your arms, hold those you love and miss in your hearts.

Third wish: I wish I had checked the message schedule list a bit more carefully the other day. Yesterday, I posted twice. The second one was a mistake. That’s the one you should be reading meow.

This one.

So since it went yesterday, I needed another for now, which is this one.

Oops.

This is a make up post.

Thank you for letting me blow up your inbox.

It’s like the old saying goes:

If ya wanna play in the big leagues, you’re going to have to do a lotta spittin’

The search for peace, not fame, excitement nor accomplishment has been my motivation. Obviously, I am someone who lacked peace as a child. My first child's name, synonymous with peace, is no accident. She is the embodiment of peace and love; a gentle soul in a not so gentle world.

The chaos I feared as a child surrounds us during a pandemic with a new variant reboot. But the peace of my family insulates me from the chaos. I feel safe in their love.

I wish that feeling of being cocooned by peace and love to everyone.
