No matter what holidays or holy days you celebrate,
no matter if you feast under palm trees or icicles,
alone or with family or friends,
with noisy exultation or quiet introspection,
may your days be filled
with warmth and wonder,
with healing and happiness,
and much
joy.

And I hope you love
the cards
I did not send to you
because I donated the money instead via Good Gifts:
for girl-friendly schooling: Give schoolgirls a voice In South Sudan’s classrooms, girls are seen but never heard, forbidden to ask questions or provide answers. Advance the cause of female independence in Saharan Africa by promoting education more sympathetic to females. Let schoolgirls speak out at last.
…and for practical help to Nepal: Help to rebuild a school on the southern edge of Katmandu, enabling its 250 students to get back to school and continue their education. Funds will also be used to help local families get back on their feet.
