Champagne, ornaments, and sparkler by Ioana Motoc
“Every man is tasked to make his life, even in details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.”
“It had to be found, the pristine source in one’s own self, it had to be possessed! Everything else was searching, was a detour, was getting lost.”
“And what is it to work with love? ...It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit.”
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
Love in all things,

I am...
I am evolving
with the smallest movement
of a tree in the wind,
with the always changing sky,
with birth and death and the imbuing and recycling of the Divine.
I am evolving
with the smallest movement
of a tree in the wind,
with the always changing sky,
with birth and death and the imbuing and recycling of the Divine.
I am inside, sensitive to Sound,
singing and moving to the rhythmic melodies of a Universal heartbeat.
I am the color of Love,
malleable, yielding to the brush, reflecting my light,
expressing with every breath
that a Force moves here.

Holiday Pancakes and Pajamas Gallery
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” — Charles Dickens
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! Check out the full gallery of photos from our Holiday Pancakes and Pajamas event. We had such a wonderful time. We began the morning drinking hot cocoa and crafting festive notes to surprise loved ones and perfect strangers alike just to spread a little holiday cheer. The competition got fierce as we tested our holiday movie knowledge with trivia questions and even a few rounds of charades. We watched Angela Foster of Coffee and (____) make some truly special pancakes, made vegan and with organic ingredients. We topped it all off with a pancake breakfast, some festive Christmosas (champagne and sparkling apple cider, garnished with cranberries, green apples, green grapes and pomegranate seeds), and plenty of merriment! If you weren't able to attend, take a peek at Coffee and (_____)'s signature pancake recipe below and try them out yourself. Yums! Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season!
