December: Cute Hippie Chick Of The Month

Ah, yes... it's time for our monthly feature "Cute Hippie Chick Of The Month", and as we can see, things are not always as they seem...

As we roll into the winter, we should conserve energy, not worry about making huge goals and progress. It's best to watch our health, visit friends and family, eat good food and drink good wine and beer. So many people live in artificial environments today - in an office, under florescant lights with controlled temperature. My work is outside every day, this time of year I start tree pruning. I think it's much more natural to live with the cycles of seasons. If you make it part of your being, the wet, cold and dark don't seem to bother as much. Balence it out with warm friendship and lively entertainment!
How do you approach winter? Let us know!
