Ah, the holidays… time for light-hearted festivity, food to die for, and plenty to ponder as one year winds to a close and a new one revs up. We want to end 2010 by being a little Zen with stories of wonder and awakening. It is a time to laugh at the antics of crazy relatives and cry over the loss of loved ones. It is a time to embrace others no matter who they are or where they’re from and to accept ourselves for who we are. Once again, we celebrate all those wonderful writers who contribute their talent to see our little miracle of a magazine shine its light in the world of literature.
