Home Alone for the Holigays: Celebrate Yule and Watch Brandy’s “Cinderella” with Meg

Yule this year is meant to be quiet, relaxing, comforting, and joyful. With so many new traditions beginning, and a few old favorites getting incorporated into this next chapter of my life, I feel full of hope in spite of the challenges this year has brought. Sending love and warmth to you and yours.
