Well, friends, it’s that time of year. The time when I hide my laptop, take a deep breath, and do my best to stop thinking in 140-character quips.

From the bottom of my heart, friends: thank you for making this another wonderful year at SMC. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the only reason I do this is because I adore each and every one of you. Knowing that you’re out there, giving a hoot what I have to say – and maybe even talking back – is the best gift ever.

I’ll be back after a little holiday sabbatical…my long winter’s nap is long overdue. And in the meantime, I’m wishing you and everyone you love the merriest, brightest and happiest holidays yet!

xox,
B
