I am sending you my Christmas greetings from one of my favorite places. A place in the sun with a view of the valley.

This time of year has something special for me. The short days let the desire for more light grow in us. And the many traditions of this time reflect this desire. It doesn’t matter whether you celebrated Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, the winter solstice or Christmas today. Bringing light always plays a major role. We set up candles, light oil lamps and decorate trees and houses with light. It seems to please us and to do us good.

If we go with what is good for us, what warms us deep in the heart, then we can also be very present. And then magical moments can arise.
