here is the card that i wrote and had intended to send out, but in case it doesn't happen, happy holidays from me to you!

• Let us break down boundaries,tear down

walls, and continue to build on the foundation of goodness inside each of us • Let us look past our differences, gain understanding, and embrace acceptance• Let us reach out to one another, rather than resist • Let us better the world in which we live, by nurturing, and replenishing the beauty of nature • Let us express gratitude for that which we have, rather than dwelling on our needs • Let us seek cures for the sick, help for the hungry, and love for the lonely• Let us hold hope for a better future very tenderly in our hearts• Let us love with our whole hearts – for that is the only way to love•
