Hello my dears,

I just love this time of year. It's filled with warmth and friends and family. It also has moments tinged with loss, memories of loved ones gone, but I treasure those as well, because it means I have loved deeply and been loved deeply. There is a kind of peace in that, and if you are struggling I hope you can find that peace.

However you celebrate, I wish you the happiest of holidays and I am just sending you so much joy!

Now, I do want to update you with what's going on with my book and a few other things.

First and foremost, I have to thank those of you who have left me such lovely reviews. I'm so glad this book is resonating with you; it brings me great joy to see that my message is reaching you. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. (If you'd like to leave a review, that would be the best gift you could give me; those help more than I can say.)

The book is now widely available, so if you are not a Jeff Bezos fan, you can purchase it elsewhere. Here is a link to all the stores you can find it on so far.

Get The Book of Birth!

If you've been keeping up with me on Instagram you'll have noticed I've finally come out from behind the camera. If your favorite site is YouTube, you're in luck, because you can find me there now, too.

However you celebrate this season, I am wishing you the warmest and happiest of holidays. May your days be merry and bright.

Blessings and light,

MariMikel
